There's actually quite a few good articles on who some of the Trump supporters are.
Rightly or wrongly, there's a large number of uneducated whites that have gotten poorer over the years and the Republican party's constant failures have been stinging insults to the only thing they have left: respect.
Think of it this way: these people feel like they get discriminated by those in the left as dumb hillbillies. It's ok to discriminate because they are not any kind of minority and feel left out and angry. They've become poorer. They talk like Trump and feel he's finally hitting back against the "elites".
I think someone
does need to address this. The factory closures aren't because of politicians. Coal didn't die because of politicians. Immigrants aren't stealing their jobs. However, their need is real and their frustrations aren't being heard. They're in the middle of crippling addiction issues, disintegrating families and disappearing opportunities. It's lauded to talk about the problems in the ghetto's (not that it's helped), but it feels to them like it's ok to forget about the hillbillies in the trailer court. It would behoove Clinton to get behind that and destroy Trump's calls for blaming government, immigrants and media for all their problems
