This is dumb, and part of the reason that "liberals" have such a reputation as smug.

Trump is a disaster, but when you're some poor guy or girl who's got no chance at a job in your dying town, don't have the skills to just migrate somewhere else, and keep hearing about how the economy is getting better and better, what do you think?

You don't see any improvement in your life at all, likely the opposite, do economic facts matter when they don't impact you at all?

There is something to the support he got and it isn't just dumb voters and racists.
