Why low income whites usually vote for Trump

[Hector12]

And we know that. THus we choose to side with the man that is at least willing to try.


That this doesn't make sense to you, is just you being willfully blind, to justify your insane sense of entitlement.

What do I feel entitled to?

The last time Donald Trump was president, he travelled to Youngstown, Ohio, among the most depressed of America’s rust belt cities, and promised voters the impossible.

The high-paying steel, railroad and car industry jobs that once made Youngstown a hard-living, hard-drinking blue-collar boom town were coming back, he said. “Don’t move. Don’t sell your house,” he crowed to a rapturous crowd in 2017. “We’re going to fill up those factories – or rip ”em down and build brand new ones”.

None of that happened. Indeed, within 18 months, General Motors (GM) announced that it was suspending operations at its one remaining manufacturing plant outside Youngstown, throwing 5,000 jobs into jeopardy in a community with little else to cling to. Trump’s reaction was to say the closure didn’t matter, because the jobs would be replaced “in, like, two minutes”.

That, too, did not happen. People moved away, marriages broke down, depression soared and, locals say, a handful of people took their own lives.

Ordinarily, politicians who promise the moon and fail to deliver get punished at the ballot box. But that did not happen to Trump either. Instead, he has steadily built up his popularity in Youngstown, a city that was once a well-oiled Democratic party machine but has now turned into one of his most remarkable bases of working-class support.

“Does [Trump] understand at all what you’re going through?” Joe Biden asked Ohio voters during the 2020 presidential campaign, referring directly to the GM closure. “Does he see you where you are and where you want to be? Does he care?”

To which the answer, in Youngstown, has been an astonishing and vigorous “yes”.

people have been taught from early childhood — and it’s especially true of better-educated people — that all people are essentially the same, except for very superficial differences due to their social background and advantages in upbringing and so forth…

Once you get below IQs of 80 or 75, which is the cut-off for mental retardation in the California School System, children are put into special classes. These persons are not really educable up to a level for which there’s any economic demand.

Professor Jensen is mainly known for his writing about racial differences in average intelligence. What he has to say about IQs below 80 or 75 is equally true of the poorly educated whites Trump pretends to love, and who do love him.

As long as there were strong unions for factory workers, and plenty of factory jobs, white men with low IQs who could tolerate boredom for eight hours a day could earn reasonably good incomes. This is not true any more, as the following graph illustrates.

Trump tells unemployed factory workers lies to give them hope of getting factory jobs. When they do not get factory jobs, he gives them people to hate.

Poor people are generally less intelligent, and less intelligent people are often more easily manipulated. People like to hear what they want to hear, they won't do research.

I had one guy on Facebook who is not a smart guy, and he posted an article and went on about whatever it was about.

I pointed out to him that the website was a satirical website. It took me 10 seconds to do this. But he couldn't do this, it didn't even occur to him to look, because he's thick.

His base is low information and they don't even know it.

Yet you are the poster child for D-K.

Interesting..

Yes, he did. On a daily basis.

That's right. Your problem is that you don't know who's lying so you've chosen the wrong one.

Are you lying, or ignorant?

Your link is pushing the idiotic Jasmine Crockett. Bye Bye

 

[Correll]

Correll, you seem to be one of those fools determined to believe a lie.

Blind skeptism is just as blind as blind faith.

Your assumption that Trump is not working with us in good faith, is the crux of the matter.

You have done nothing to support it, other than to make some comments about how rich Trump is, as though that proves something.

And to repeat your assertions a lot. Oh and to insult us. A lot. That is the real base of your argument. Ridiculing those that disagree with you.

 

[Correll]

What do I feel entitled to?

The political support of the working class. And the middle class.

I said this clearly and plainly several times. That you missed that, is not a good sign.

 

[Hector12]

Yes, he did. On a daily basis.

All victims of Biden and Democrat insanity vote for Trump. White or black. When you are suffering you don't vote for the one who tells you, "Stick it up your ass!"

Quote Biden, or any Democrat saying that.

Those who oppose progressive taxation, and laws to assure high minimum wages and strong labor unions, universal health care, in short, Republican politicians and Republican commentators, imply that attitude. They favor a competitive economy, where people prosper or fail on the basis of native ability.

 

[Hector12]

The political support of the working class. And the middle class.

I said this clearly and plainly several times. That you missed that, is not a good sign.

It is a bad sign if you think economic policies advocated by Republicans benefit working class people.

And to repeat your assertions a lot. Oh and to insult us. A lot. That is the real base of your argument. Ridiculing those that disagree with you.

How have I insulted you? I love political arguments, but I do not resort to insults, name calling, and obscene words I rely on facts and logical reasoning.

Trump panders to your emotions. His tax cuts for the rich do not benefit you. Neither do Musk's efforts to reduce nearly one third of the federal budget.

It is a simple case...

• Trump tells them what they want to hear
• Democrat tells them what they should hear.

Need someone to ask them how did Trump promises workout?

What they need to do initially is get high end free broadband into every house in these areas and promote online learning... Look at their advantages rather than cling to the past, they are a low cost area in a high cost country...
