I can only imagine.
What some people seem to be ignoring however - and no one is claiming it is anywhere near as bad - is that it is also exhausting to be accused of being privileged or racist, simply because you aren't a card-carrying leftist or a visible minority.
Again NO ONE is dismissing racism, homophobia or misogyny, what we are trying to express is that other people are fed up too. Ignoring them has finally blown up in the faces of the self-righteous leftists.
Claiming that their plight (or frustration, or whatever word you want to use) isn't anywhere near as challenging as the plight of the victimized, solves nothing. As several people have stated in this thread, most people are simply concerned about their own situation and well-being.
Being constantly classified, ignored, dismissed and insulted has left them frustrated. The fact that a (con artist of a) populist would come along and stir their emotions seems hardly shocking.
