2. Many of them believe the record corporate profits have trickled down to them

somehow when they don't own any stocks or investments or work for a corporation. When corporations took their unnecessary tax cuts and used them for share buybacks while still closing down factories and laying off American workers, the workers still think they benefitted somehow from the taxes but it was Obamacare and immigrants that killed their jobs. They believe this of large corporations who are not at all impacted by Obamacare mandates to provide insurance for employees.

These are often the same people who think I stole jobs away from "real Americans", because I must be an "imaginary American".

I think it would have been more useful for someone to talk to these voters and explain to them the details of the tax cuts. Maybe some of them might reconsider their support.
