We’ve found the nest of Trump voters I think.
I have seen the future of humanity and it is not bright.

That’s…an interesting way to deliver a standard slam.

This guy makes some interesting assumptions
Take the assumed popularity of Trump among the white working class, for example. There appears to be supporting evidence for that. According to Brookings, for example, in a national survey 55% of “Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who support Trump are white working-class Americans.” But this does not mean what Brookings thinks it means. Among all adult whites, nearly 70% do not have bachelor’s degrees (the definition of “working class” used here). This means that at 55%, the white working-class is under-represented among Trump supporters. Conversely, unless Trump is getting much more minority support than reported, his supporters are disproportionally college-educated whites. They make up 30% of the white population, but they are at least 40% of Trump voters in the Brookings survey.
I just don’t know why this guy accepts at face value that a bachelor’s degree makes you automatically not working class. Given the absurd amount of money needed for higher education, and the increasing number of college educated people especially among younger generations, in America a better marker is how much educational debt the student carries throughout their life.
