Because people without hope tend to drift towards authoritarians with fascist tendencies.
You also can't just pin Trump on racists. He's dented the Democrats' lead among working class blacks and Latinos in back to back elections.
I know Cliff has been beating this drum for years, but he's not completely wrong when he says that the issues that resonate with upper-class, educated voters are not the same as those that resonate with working class and under-educated voters.
The Democrats technically do more for those groups than the Republicans do, but their messaging is awful.
