"But I'm not surprised by Trump's rise, and I think the entire party has only itself to blame," Vance texted, according to his former roommate, state Rep. Josh McLaurin (D-Georgia). "We are, whether we like it or not, the party of lower-income, lower-education white people, and I have been saying for a long time that we need to offer those people SOMETHING (and hell, maybe even expand our appeal to working class black people) or a demagogue would. We are now at that point."

"Trump is the fruit of the party's collective neglect," Vance said, according to McLaurin. "I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler. How's that for discouraging?"

1. When people suffer from financial anxiety they stop voting with reason

and vote out of emotions like fear and anger regression analysis shows. GOP neglected the workers and middleclass for 40 years. He says this part clearly. Clearly the GOP know what they were doing gutting unions and all.

2. Good points, people most at risk should understand this, fast..

Bannon said the GOP was the party of the working class a few years ago -"get me more bartenders, I don't want any more lawyers."

3. I wonder if they are attracted to anger as it feels less vulnerable than

feeling financial anxiety.

[appalachiablue]

4. They LUV anger, no doubt- plenty are addicted to it now..

What a high, Not

6. that is letting them off too easy

i know A LOT of people smarter and richer than me who are full on board w it.

[applegrove]

10. Yes the rich selfish are part of it. But the GOP broke off a large chunk of

people who used to vote Democratic. Including JFK fans and Obama voters.

[Cosmocat]

11. Yep

I have relatives who were jfk Democrat's, was surprised they were trumpers.

7. It isn't financial anxiety, it's racial anxiety

the USA was over 80% non-Hispanic white, the year I was born; that's down to around 59% as of the 2020 census and projected to drop below 50% by 2040 or so. Trump won a majority of voters with incomes over 100K. Trump also won a majority of white people in every demographic except under-30's, Jews, and people with advanced degrees.

9. And upeer class people who

want excessive tax breaks. I have an uncle who voted dem forever and cared about others, the climate etc. He stumbled into to a opportunity after living a life of just getting buy and within 5 years he went from working counter sales to being a hot shit salesman with national accounts who made a boat load of money. His commissions alone are more than 6 figures. THAT is when he started voting republican. Because his money meant more.

5. And Putin is Russia's Trump.
