And hate for others comes out of this: he tells them that their current state of despair isn't their fault. The fact that the world has passed them by was really a dirty trick. Educated people can't be trusted- - they've made up things like global warming that have taken the jobs away; we can't trust the foreigners because they have come into our country to either live a comfortable life on welfare or want to commit acts of terrorism. The hell with the blacks because they don't realize how easy they've got.

The Trump supporters believe it when the politicians tell them that there are simple solutions to complex problems.

Many of these people came from poor families. They started families too young and in general gave up to soon.
