Beyond Economics: Fears of Cultural Displacement Pushed the White Working Class to Trump | PRRI/The Atlantic Report​

Perhaps the most contested question from the 2016 presidential election is what factors motivated white working-class voters to support Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by a margin of roughly two to one. New analysis by PRRI and The Atlantic, based on surveys conducted before and after the 2016 election, developed a model to test a variety of potential factors influencing support for Trump among white working-class voters. The model identifies five significant independent predictors of support for Trump among white working-class voters. No other factors were significant at conventional levels.

Overall, the model demonstrates that besides partisanship, fears about immigrants and cultural displacement were more powerful factors than economic concerns in predicting support for Trump among white working-class voters.

1. The report also provides an in-depth profile of white working-class Americans, along with analysis of this group’s world view, outlook, and attitudes about cultural change and policy:
   
   • Nearly two-thirds (65%) of white working-class Americans believe American culture and way of life has deteriorated since the 1950s.
   • Nearly half (48%) of white working-class Americans say, “things have changed so much that I often feel like a stranger in my own country.”
   • Nearly seven in ten (68%) white working-class Americans believe the American way of life needs to be protected from foreign influence. In contrast, fewer than half (44%) of white college-educated Americans express this view.
   • Nearly seven in ten (68%) white working-class Americans—along with a majority (55%) of the public overall—believe the U.S. is in danger of losing its culture and identity.
   • More than six in ten (62%) white working-class Americans believe the growing number of newcomers from other countries threatens American culture, while three in ten (30%) say these newcomers strengthen society.
   • Nearly six in ten (59%) white working-class Americans believe immigrants living in the country illegally should be allowed to become citizens provided they meet certain requirements, while 10% say they should be allowed to become permanent legal residents. More than one in four (27%) say we should identify and deport illegal immigrants. Notably, support for a path to citizenship is only slightly lower than support among the general public (63%).
   • More than half (52%) of white working-class Americans believe discrimination against whites has become as big a problem as discrimination against blacks and other minorities, while 70% of white college-educated Americans disagree.
   • Fewer than four in ten white working-class Americans report they are in excellent (5%) or good shape (33%) financially, compared to six in ten who say they are in fair (35%) or poor shape (25%). White working-class Americans about as likely to say their financial situation has diminished (27%) as they are to say it has improved (29%). White college-educated Americans, in contrast, are about three times as likely to say their financial circumstances have gotten better than gotten worse (41% vs. 14%, respectively).
   • A majority (54%) of the white working class view getting a college education as a risky gamble, while only 44% say it is a smart investment.
   • Six in ten (60%) white working-class Americans, compared to only 32% of white college-educated Americans say because things have gotten so far off track, we need a strong leader who is willing to break the rules.

Are you going to spend the rest of your life angry at white people?

Because Hillary was unlikable and entitled?

Good. White people need to resist these violent black and brown racists out to murder and replace them.

And here we see another case of right-wing white psychosis. Whites are the most violent group, and they have tried to erase every other group.

Blacks commit more than 50% of all murders in the USA. Duh.

And the rates of violent crime among white Americans is very low; if blacks and Latinos were taken out of the equation, the crime rates among the rest of the Americans would be among the lowest in the world.

You cannot say that about black dominated countries. The larger the black population, the higher the crime rates are.

And here we see another case of right-wing white psychosis. Whites are the most violent group, and they have tried to erase every other group.

Blacks commit around 90% of all hate crimes, not just against whites but Asians as well. If whites wanted to erase 'every other group', then they would have been erased, not here holding daily worshipping services at 'Our Lady Of Perpetual Sniveling' with Pastor IM2 Whiney.

Wrong again, lowest white man. Whites commit the most hate crimes, and whites commit the most hate crimes against Asians. Over the course of American history, whites have such a lead in committing hate crimes that no other group will ever catch them, even if whites totally stop committing hate crimes today.

When talking about perpetual whining, the picture looks like this:

So once again, you provide another example of the white psychosis.

lol black racist parrots his daily prayer again. Can't help himself. Pastor Whiney suffers from self-hate.

Yes, you do suffer from self-hate, Whining White male. You guys have been crying for 30 years about imaginary anti-white racism. Once again, we see another excellent example of the white psychosis.

lol you see projection. You're probably not even black, just playing one on the innernetz, like a lot of other left wing fakers.

And here we see another example of the white psychosis. My picture is to your left, but your inability to deal with reality makes you believe that black people actually cannot feel the way I do, even though we have made it very plain that we are tired of your racism.

And here we see Pastor Whiney repeating himself over and over and over again, expecting different results, a sign of self-hate driven insanity. He definitely feels inferior to white people. He's probably right in his case, given the crippling mental illness he suffers.

College-educated vs non-college-educated has become the major demographic political divide in America.

The best-educated states in the U.S. are Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, Vermont, Virginia, New Jersey, Colorado, Minnesota, Washington, New Hampshire, Utah, Oregon, California, Hawaii, and New York.

The least-educated states are West Virginia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Nevada, Kentucky, Alabama, New Mexico, Texas, Indiana, Tennessee, Idaho, Arizona, Alaska, and North Carolina.

When Trump said that he loved the poorly-educated in 2016, he acknowledged his debt to his base.

 

[Stryder50]

Trump was/is not a career politician; i.e. not a phony parasite living off of the taxpayers.

Trump is a business person, from the wealth-creation demographic, hence closer to most of the average citizens and voters who work for a living.

Builders, makers, doers can relate to him more than to the pseudo-human "politicians".

College -DEGREED rather than -educated.
Difference being many a college-degreed doesn't know which end of the wrench to hold, how to wire an outlet, how to tune the engine of your car, in short they usually can't do much of practical, real work.

How does opinion concerning engine repair relate to voting patterns?
