George Soros Funded A Study Of White Working-Class Voters Who Support Trump. Here’s What He Found
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/14/2017 | Eric Owens

Posted on 10/14/2017 7:27:16 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

A recently-released research study sheds light on the values of white working-class voters in the United States and the reasons these voters strongly supported Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.

Three researchers from three different universities authored the study, titled “White Working-Class Views on Belonging, Change, Identity and Immigration.”

Open Society Foundations, a network of political organizations controlled by left-wing billionaire George Soros, funded the study.

The trio of researchers conducted the study by visiting four places between August 2016 and March 2017: Birmingham, Alabama; Dayton, Ohio; Tacoma, Washington; Phoenix, Arizona; and — for some reason — the New York City borough of Brooklyn.

The researchers spoke candidly with over 400 people who identify as members of the white working class.

Here is what they found:

In 2016, Trump was the ‘hope and change’ candidate for white working-class voters

The participants in the study say they view Trump as “strong” and “hardworking.”

The Trump campaign “personified an insurgent, anti-establishment rage against ‘politics as normal,'” according to the study participants.

“In many ways, Trump was the hope and change candidate in 2016, as Obama had been in 2008, albeit representing different constituencies.”

And applying progressive globalist swamp thinking to the results of the survey, the only corrective action to take is to eliminate the white working middle class voter from existing. If values include honesty, integrity, hard work ethics, family, and such among that demographic, it is best to just kill them off and replace them.

Not that I care about Soros spending his money doing this ‘research’ of the Working Class (or ‘white Working Class’, as they call us), but sitting down for 15 minutes with Trump would have given them the same results, or, if that’s to much for them, a quick drive to downtown Salina, Kansas would have also worked.

As it is, it will be fun to watch the Democrats try to target us with angering the living hell out of their Identity Groups.

Plus, y’know, Hillary’s a nitwit campaigner who, for example, exulted about the Demwits’ war on coal while speaking to unemployed miners.

I do think Cruz should have been on board as VP. I fear Pence having to take over if Trump should die. I hope I am wrong and hope more that I never fine out but I fell that Pence can be rolled. I think Cruz in that position would adhere more to what Trump has begun.

I have to say I wasn’t on that train until he turned my man Cruz into mush. really, I had not paid attention to him. I came to see him as the only one of the Republicans in the primaries who could beat the Democrats and the Democrats(R).

The Left had absolutely no idea about how the white working class felt or how deep those feelings ran and how justified whites felt about those views. It’s astonishing really.

The Left actually thinks that the white working class is that shallow and thoughtless. That’s not to say Hillary and Soros aren’t evil but this explains why the rest of the Left acts the way it does.

This is why the election of Trump hits them like a sledgehammer. It’s not just how he acts but the strong white working class support of him. They have no idea that whites so justifiably wronged.

That pretty much describes me as well. I can see now that Trump is exactly the right man for the job - especially now, given the mess obama left the country in.

Soros probably knows why Trump won. I’m guessing he’s looking for some insight on how he can manipulate the voters because the old tried and true methods aren’t working anymore.

So? The campaign was run on the basis of winning the Electoral Vote. Had it been based on Popular Vote, Trump runs a completely different campaign, and probably still wins.

I was a Scott Walker person. Disappointing to see how quickly he folded considering how well he dealt with the unions and 2 recalls.

I was agreeing with another FReeper that Trump was NOT Hillary & therefore the main reason for voting Trump. (As opposed to reasons given in this study)
No - I would never vote for Hillary. Lol!

I’ve seen no evidence of 3 million illegal voters. I think that is rationalization

Show me the proof

There you go again. How lamb. Trump’s nationalistic economic policies are what won him the day. People like me, the majority, vote FOR Trump. The first time I voted FOR a President since Reagan. Shitlery had nothing to do with it.
