It's getting to the point where this has been well-enough explained, there's really no excuse for any intelligent person to fail to understand why people are supporting Donald Trump:
Conservatives have failed Donald Trump's supporters
"...It is true that I manifestly do not have the answers yet, nor do I believe Donald Trump has them. My aim in trying to understand and explain Trumpism and generate sympathy for the people who find themselves supporting Donald Trump is not to ratify dependency or a sense of victimhood in working-class people; it's to slap conservatives out of a torpor, to tell them that they are not victims of this Trump-led populist revolt, but the authors of it."
But my guess is, Conservatives don't have ears for this message.
I really hope it's not going to take a 6-3 Liberal majority on the Supreme Court to drive this home. But if Conservatives don't figure this out, and start tuning public policies accordingly, that's where I believe we're headed.
