You keep telling yourself this but I think if you look closer at the data you'd find that Trump's supporters are older, whiter and wealthier than the mean. Trump's base is by far bigots, not people that are suffering from economic anxiety. That people are suffering from economic anxiety has been a story lots of legs, it just doesn't hold up to the data. There's a much easier way to explain Trump's appeal, racists, bigots, and people who don't like how America is changing have rallied behind him.
