The more I hear about the actual lives of Trump voters the more it seems like they are the people who got left behind as the country progressed. If trade didn't have some benefit we wouldn't allow it but we haven't done enough to help the people it didn't benefit so they're basically being told they just don't matter. Republicans or conservative parties in general always seem to run on a platform of helping those people or looking out for them but never following through. Now Trump comes along and he doesn't sound like all those guys who lied to them so they think he'll actually do something this time. I think they place their anger on progressiveness because they were left in the dust when it happened. Just my thoughts lately.
