The article tries very hard to portray Trump's followers as racist, but really I just think they are desperate and forgotten. A quote really resonated with me, from Lori Ayers in Ohio: > “I voted for Obama the first time, not the second. Now I am voting for Trump. We just got to change things.” It's obvious that what resonates with blue-collar workers is change. The sad thing is they are probably a dying breed in a world where computers are replacing everything from air traffic controllers to bus drivers. I'm not sure if there IS a solution, apart from massive education reform (to help their kids break out of that social strata) or massive government incentives to bring jobs back -- which will most likely not happen. Conservatives definitely have their own problems, but liberals live in such bubbles, it doesn't even surprise me Hilary lost (even though I was leaning that she wouldn't).
