TRUMPERS have suddenly recognized that they've screwed themselves.....well ~ 35% haven't figured it out yet.
The REPUBLICAN PARTY thrives on poorly educated voters who are easily manipulated and are ill-informed.
Regrettably, many of these voters are faithful Fox News = Fake News viewers or obedient Breitbart = Fairy Tale readers.
They fell for the LIES and SLOGANEERING rather than substance.
Will this awaken them? Doubtful!
So many of these voters live in states that are poor, offer no economic opportunities, provide poor education and are immerse in poverty because of BAD REPUBLICAN POLICIES.
PLEASE try to find a state that has progressed under REPUBLICAN leadership....it doesn't exist.

Trump voters should also be reminded that the elite of the party they’ve put in power is as dismissive of them as Democratic elites can be condescending. “Forget your cheap theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap,” Kevin Williamson wrote of the white working class in National Review. “The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible.” He was only saying in public what other Republicans like Mitt Romney say about the “47 percent” in private when they think only well-heeled donors are listening. Besides, if National Review says that their towns deserve to die, who are Democrats to stand in the way of Trump voters who used their ballots to commit assisted suicide?
So hold the empathy and hold on to the anger. If Trump delivers on his promises to the “poorly educated” despite all indications to the contrary, then good for them. Once again, all the Trump naysayers will be proved wrong. But if his administration crashes into an iceberg, leaving his base trapped in America’s steerage with no lifeboats, those who survive may at last be ready to burst out of their own bubble and listen to an alternative. Or not: Maybe, like Hochschild’s new friends in Louisiana’s oil country, they’ll keep voting against their own interests until the industrial poisons left unregulated by their favored politicians finish them off altogether. Either way, the best course for Democrats may be to respect their right to choose.
