Study finds the white voters were more likely to vote for Trump because of the Culture War, not economic hardship.

One more thing Hitlary was wrong about. Dems are so damn clueless. Must give Obama credit though for understanding this. That's why he gave up on white people after his second nomination. He did say we "cling to our guns and religion" after all. Personally I friggin love my guns and religion (not necessarily in that order.

1. Identification with the Republican Party. Identifying as Republican, not surprisingly, was strongly predictive of Trump support. White working-class voters who identified as Republican were 11 times more likely to support Trump than those who did not identify as Republican. No other demographic attribute was significant.
2. Fears about cultural displacement. White working-class voters who say they often feel like a stranger in their own land and who believe the U.S. needs protecting against foreign influence were 3.5 times more likely to favor Trump than those who did not share these concerns.
3. Support for deporting immigrants living in the country illegally. White working-class voters who favored deporting immigrants living in the country illegally were 3.3 times more likely to express a preference for Trump than those who did not.
4. Economic fatalism. White working-class voters who said that college education is a gamble were almost twice as likely to express a preference for Trump as those who said it was an important investment in the future.
5. Economic hardship. Notably, while only marginally significant at conventional levels (P<0.1), being in fair or poor financial shape actually predicted support for Hillary Clinton among white working-class Americans, rather than support for Donald Trump. Those who reported being in fair or poor financial shape were 1.7 times more likely to support Clinton, compared to those who were in better financial shape.

Or to sum it up:
Trump was/is the dream candidate of the white supremacist crowd

I am not surprised

Point number 1 wasn't exactly earth shattering. If you substitute Democrat and Hillary it similarly true. And since it claims no other demographic was significant, the whole thing is not something that was not already known.

Muslim won't assimilate into your culture if you hate it yourself.

um...yeah... Reminds me of a poll I saw recently, when the issue of bombing Syria came up under Obama %37 of Democrats and %22 of Republicans supported attacking. Now when Trump is President, %38 of Democrats and %86 of Republicans support attacking. The GOP is like the spoiled brat who takes his ball and goes home when he doesn't get his way.

I friggin love my guns and religion

guns are your religion, you make the baby Jesus cry

That's the typical myth from the white supremacist right, that it is "us vs. them", i.e. that we either have to "convert" everyone into exactly our thinking, or else we will get assimilated by them and that everyone who is not eactly like "us" is out to destroy us (and that it is "hating your own culture" if you don't think liike a white supremacist

Of course it sounds like your typical white supremacist. IT's Kid. (the teletubbie)

I said before the election that the BLM movement would be the nail in the coffin of the Democrats. If fact I said it here as well. Democrats scoffed at my 'horrible' remarks, while Republicans laughed and insisted it would be their 'policies' that would win.

Once again... AAHZ was right.

The Left actually wants to turn our sovereignty over to the UN. In their opinion the US oppress and murders Brown people for oil and stuff. So that is an America First question. Neo -con is not America First. They love war which often times makes America weak and strengthen the position of the Left.

Stop making such generalizations. It's your biggest flaw. Please provide any supporting sources that say the Entire left want to turn over sovereignty. You won't be able to.

I'm sure from the internet. One loon spouts it and Kid then claims everyone believes the same.

I'm glad you love Putin so much. Why don't you invite him into your country?
