WHY DID WHITE, UNEDUCATED VOTERS VOTE FOR TRUMP?

[tigerred59]

You do realize of course that these "uneducated" voters until this election the were a standard faction of the Democratic party. The DNC decided to go fully exclusive in their identity politics and basically took a dump on their largest core thinking the US demographics had changed enough by 2016 to cobble together a large enough coalition of women, gays, blacks and illegal aliens to win an election. They were wrong. By the way, those deplorable uneducated white racists used to be called the working class and they kept the DNC in power for decades. You guys just kissed that goodbye.

The epiphany of this liberal might enlighten you a little.

In the article at the link below, the author, Marci A. Hamilton makes the same erroneous assumptions as the Founding Fathers, as they struggled to write into the Constitution phrases to prevent power grabs by unethical individuals and groups.

In the first two opening paragraphs, “There is a deep connection between education and a successful, well-run representative democracy.” and, “Voters need significant education to be able to judge the people to whom they delegate the power to make governing decisions and to assess how their governing system is operating. Without adequate education generally and specifically about representative democracy, the system itself is at risk.” that erroneous assumption becomes immediately clear.

As the framers looked to the future, they assumed the population of the growing nation would embrace knowledge, and through this expected enthusiasm for education, protect the government’s ability to serve only the public good from corruptive and dangerous influences.

The Founding Fathers were SO VERY WRONG. In the second half of the twentieth century a conservative movement began to take shape, one to denounce and condemn education and the educated. Right wing leaders sowed fear among the extremely religious, cultivating the deep concern that government was going to take away their rights to free expression of their faith.

In reality, the United States was, and still is, becoming more diverse in religious preferences, and certain laws based in the First Amendment have been passed to protect non-Christian individuals and groups from persecution by the predominantly Christian U.S. population.

To level the playing field, so-to-speak, public places were designated as “religion neutral”. This did not outlaw displays of any faith’s icons or symbols, it just meant public property was not available to promote any one religion.

With this, the well known knee-jerk conservative paranoia exploded and was exploited by the Republican Party. The GOP’s propaganda machine went to work convincing the uneducated and undereducated that their religious freedom was in jeopardy from the “educated elites” and that school curriculums other than those approved by the Christian church were a danger to their “Christian” nation.

The Founding Fathers assumption that education would be embraced and create the guidance necessary to protecting the people from the greedy and corrupt has been effectively erased in the minds of conservatives. It has been done so efficiently that most right-wingers believe they are MORE knowledgeable on all subjects than those people who have received formal teaching.

Conservatives refuse to accept empirical evidence in a widening range of subjects. Most are self-proclaimed experts in economics, constitutional law, international diplomacy, domestic policy, all scientific fields, history, you name the subject, most conservatives will have a steadfast opinion that follows the right wing agenda, and has little, if any, resemblance to proven facts.

The GOP created a valuable political tool in the proud disdain for education and the educated they’ve cultivated in their right wing voting base, and Donald Trump used this contempt for learning to win the support of the less educated white working class.

This is illustrated quite clearly in these two paragraphs from the article, “Trump, apparently tailoring his message to his less educated base, has made statements that indicate he need not respect the framers’ governing system, e.g., saying he would not concede if he lost the election. But if he won the election, he would happily accept the result of the system. His apparent inclination to respect the system according to the result is precisely the type of power grab the framers rightly feared and sought to deter.” and, “He also has implied that his supporters could or should use guns against Hillary Clinton, his rival. Again, he is advocating dealings with the government that go beyond the constitutional system into the fields of anarchy and ipse dixit power. His statements would have been the stuff of the framers’ nightmares.”

Unfortunately, the conservatives' chosen preference to avoid education, especially the knowledge of U.S. history, assures the Trump voters’ denial of these facts, just as it does nearly all other documented evidence. All they know and can cite are right wing falsehoods and talking points gleaned from the usual conservative sources.

Why are white, uneducated voters voting for Trump?

You want the truth? Reread the article from a non partisan perspective (the author is incorrectly partisan to the nth degree). It's because of that partisan snobbery and the fact that for the first time in modern US history a candidate for the highest office in the land, her party and supporters actually attacked/disparaged at least half of the electorate driving people who would not have otherwise voted for Frump to vote for him.
(No I was not one)
There have been a few Dems who have figured that out, the rest just want to blame everyone and everything but themselves. life's a bitch.

The one size fit all does not work as well as you believe. True people should have every right to express their religious freedom or their right not to worship and I agree public squares should be for everyone but if a State is mostly Mormon shouldn't the Mormon people of that state have the right to express their religion freely!?!

Also the Founding Fathers were smarter than most Progressive Liberal and many Conservatives too!

They understood the government they were creating was not perfect and would have to grow and change, but they made sure that the citizen had certain rights granted by the Constitution.

Now I know one thing Progressive Liberals like you hate is the Electoral College because twice now your candidate won the Popular Vote while losing the Electoral College.

Now in 2000 there were great arguments about how the USSC selected Bush but this last election was clear the Electoral College was won by Trump by a wide margin and the slanted vote in California was not going to change this fact!

So as you cry about how stupid the Trump voter has to be the real question for me is how fucking retarded are you!?!

You're correct I forgot about that one but in reality it was a single comment that got a lot of coverage not the constant (heavily covered) barrage of disparagement to include the continuous accusation of being racist that was present during this last election. Yes, I agree most people are stupid and typically vote emotively, even the highly educated ones (on both sides) but people don't like being told they're stupid or racist, especially when they're not (racist) and react accordingly.

It is glaringly evident who are the stupid voters, They voted to lose jobs, put millions of people on welfare, and deny the history of those they vote for even under the weight of tomes of evidence. They are the "Educated" Pseudointellectual liberals. The problem is they actually think they are intellectually superior, and more educated. That is also easily verifiable as completely wrong. The primary problem is they have been INDOCTRINATED, not educated. The uneducated you speak of have a REAL EDUCATION in REAL HISTORY, REAL SCIENCE, REAL ECONOMICS, and REAL CAUSE and EFFECT ANALYSIS, Those thing are completely missing from the liberal indoctrination BY DESIGN because any intellectual of any level with a REAL education Knows how vile and disgusting liberal ruling class scum are and would NEVER vote for one. This is especially evident in the liberal genre of "educated" voters this past election cycle what REAL educated voter would vote to destroy their own country? What educated voter would vote to give away their freedom? what educated voter would vote for a person responsible for the murder and deaths of tens of thousands if not a million or more persons over one who has not been identified as causing any deaths. Education is only as good and real as the education system it comes from. The current LYING LIBERAL REWRITTEN education given by the liberal controlled public education system is worthless. as is the post and the inference it is based on. Liberals are in fact the complete uneducators they thrive on ignorance and lies.

Unfortunately, the conservatives' chosen preference to avoid education, especially the knowledge of U.S. history, assures the Trump voters’ denial of these facts, just as it does nearly all other documented evidence. All they know and can cite are right wing falsehoods and talking points gleaned from the usual conservative sources.

Why are white, uneducated voters voting for Trump?

People of reason and rational thought must not pay any attention to the Trump voters responses to this OP or any other posts. On November 8, 2016, they all proved they had the thought process of a grapefruit.

USMB has done a yeoman's job to let the Left destroy the very notion of Liberal Intellectual Elite. It's been a joy watching you guys self destruct

It is good that you guys finally had the opportunity to see the insanity and stupidity by Democrats that I saw on my college campus when Obama was elected president the first time.

Democrats haven't been intelligent for quite a while now, and now my generation is cementing that stupidity.

You're new around these parts aren't you. Ordinarily, a post like this might create some debate but expecting a bunch of conservatives to read something greater than 2 paragraphs that points out their anti-intellectual tendencies will go almost completely unread. At least the title might generate some interest.

If it's full of shit the liberals will gobble it up and beg for more.

In the article at the link below, the author, Marci A. Hamilton makes the same erroneous assumptions as the Founding Fathers, as they struggled to write into the Constitution phrases to prevent power grabs by unethical individuals and groups.

In the first two opening paragraphs, “There is a deep connection between education and a successful, well-run representative democracy.” and, “Voters need significant education to be able to judge the people to whom they delegate the power to make governing decisions and to assess how their governing system is operating. Without adequate education generally and specifically about representative democracy, the system itself is at risk.” that erroneous assumption becomes immediately clear.

As the framers looked to the future, they assumed the population of the growing nation would embrace knowledge, and through this expected enthusiasm for education, protect the government’s ability to serve only the public good from corruptive and dangerous influences.

The Founding Fathers were SO VERY WRONG. In the second half of the twentieth century a conservative movement began to take shape, one to denounce and condemn education and the educated. Right wing leaders sowed fear among the extremely religious, cultivating the deep concern that government was going to take away their rights to free expression of their faith.

In reality, the United States was, and still is, becoming more diverse in religious preferences, and certain laws based in the First Amendment have been passed to protect non-Christian individuals and groups from persecution by the predominantly Christian U.S. population.

To level the playing field, so-to-speak, public places were designated as “religion neutral”. This did not outlaw displays of any faith’s icons or symbols, it just meant public property was not available to promote any one religion.

With this, the well known knee-jerk conservative paranoia exploded and was exploited by the Republican Party. The GOP’s propaganda machine went to work convincing the uneducated and undereducated that their religious freedom was in jeopardy from the “educated elites” and that school curriculums other than those approved by the Christian church were a danger to their “Christian” nation.

The Founding Fathers assumption that education would be embraced and create the guidance necessary to protecting the people from the greedy and corrupt has been effectively erased in the minds of conservatives. It has been done so efficiently that most right-wingers believe they are MORE knowledgeable on all subjects than those people who have received formal teaching.

Conservatives refuse to accept empirical evidence in a widening range of subjects. Most are self-proclaimed experts in economics, constitutional law, international diplomacy, domestic policy, all scientific fields, history, you name the subject, most conservatives will have a steadfast opinion that follows the right wing agenda, and has little, if any, resemblance to proven facts.

The GOP created a valuable political tool in the proud disdain for education and the educated they’ve cultivated in their right wing voting base, and Donald Trump used this contempt for learning to win the support of the less educated white working class.

This is illustrated quite clearly in these two paragraphs from the article, “Trump, apparently tailoring his message to his less educated base, has made statements that indicate he need not respect the framers’ governing system, e.g., saying he would not concede if he lost the election. But if he won the election, he would happily accept the result of the system. His apparent inclination to respect the system according to the result is precisely the type of power grab the framers rightly feared and sought to deter.” and, “He also has implied that his supporters could or should use guns against Hillary Clinton, his rival. Again, he is advocating dealings with the government that go beyond the constitutional system into the fields of anarchy and ipse dixit power. His statements would have been the stuff of the framers’ nightmares.”

Unfortunately, the conservatives' chosen preference to avoid education, especially the knowledge of U.S. history, assures the Trump voters’ denial of these facts, just as it does nearly all other documented evidence. All they know and can cite are right wing falsehoods and talking points gleaned from the usual conservative sources.
