based upon my experience of being raised by, living among, and serving in business the trump supporting groups:

Blue collar trumpers are wildly racist. It's a view supported by their christian religion. It is further cemented by herd mentality. They think that they are the outliers, the black sheep not following the liberal herd. Many of them dont vote because they're convinced that the entire system is rigged against them. Trump is the first time they felt like they're voting FOR something. They rarely leave their corner of the county, so they never see the benefits of the society liberals and leftists push for.

Wealthy trumpers are both wildly racist and class warriors. I am convinced that an exponential IQ decline happens as their wealth increases and they become further isolated from society. THEY are the (Randian objectivist) Movers and Shakers; everyone else are lazy shits mooching off of them. Trump is TAKING BACK what all these lowlifes and criminals TOOK from them!

Worse is the blue collar racist who BECAME wealthy. I grew up as family friends and neighbors to a wealthy celebrity musician who started out as a drywaller and I am CONVINCED that he paid good money to vandalize the home of a black family that moved into my old home until they left. He was VERY excited when Fox News went on the air.

Finally, the middle class: they do not want taxes under any circumstance (especially when they see no benefit from them in their area), and they are convinced that their portfolios grow under Republican rule. Is trump a corrupt asshole?...sure, but so are Dems and he's at least open about it. Doesnt matter that Tesla is an abject failure because the fraud and corruption has the stock skyrocketing this week. You MIGHT reach them with health care talk because so many of them are on Obamacare (but dont tell anyone!!) but they are concinced the system is too far gone for that...and they're right.

None of these people can be reasoned with or reached. Selfishness, arrogance, and racism are the core of their personalities, and even if you got any of them to say "yeah, you're right!" it would be for nothing but dismissal to end the conversation.

And guess what?...the Non-Voters that Dems lament not showing?. .most of them are one of the above. If they showed up we would all be in cattle cars already because trump speaks to them directly.
