White identity and sexism gave Trump the electoral college

Trump’s voters were mostly just the same old middle-class white GOP base. Who, yes, vote based upon bigotry, albeit with some variance as to which form of bigotry is any particular voter’s #1 issue.

There was no huge groundswell of working class support for Trump. There was a collapse in working class support for the Dems, but those folks didn’t vote Trump; they didn’t vote at all.
