Reaction to Angry Minority Voters -> Why are they so angry?

[EffieBlack]

Do they have any right to be angry? Is their anger justified? Should they be expressing it this way? Wow, they're sure making a lot of noise. What will make them shut them up? No, that's too much trouble. We'll just ignore them ...

6. I am so sick of hearing that Trump's support isn't based on his appeal to racism and xenophobia

But is really the result of "frustrated" voters who feel they've been ignored and left behind.

Hello?! These people feel ignored and left behind precisely because they think that "those people" are getting out ahead of them. Poor whites have been getting crapped on for decades by other white people and they barely batted an eye. In fact, they lined up to vote for them and cheered them on because they felt they were protecting them against THEM. Their leaders have been dog whistling to them that they are still superior and they'll get their due. Yet, they've seen that slipping away as the country becomes browner and browner and they're freaked out.

So, a candidate has now stepped forward who is coming out and saying exactly what they've been thinking - no dog whistle - so they're lining up behind HIM. He's tapped into their racism, plain and simple. And the media's attempt to characterize it as anything else is disgusting.

7. Great post. Notice that the media never mentions that

Trump's "popularity" is almost exclusively white and male.

8. And when they do, they are are very sympathetic to the white men's "discontent" and "frustration"

without mentioning WHY most of them feel that way.

They also seem to have no regard or empathy for what this all looks like to minorities - how frightening it is to see those angry, chanting people. It is absolutely disgusting to see the media treat these people as just ordinary citizens speaking their minds.

9. It's also a blatantly anti woman ticket. The so called "progressives"

that are OK with Trump winning so they can stick it to Hillary Clinton make me ill. How utterly vile.

10. Without terrified white nativist backing, Trump has no campaign. (nt)
