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.”

I hope Soros spent big money to learn what everybody already knows. Every body outside the bubble, anyway.

We love our country.

We want to keep it.

Both parties were supporting a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of immigration laws and borders.

Donald Trump promised to enforce the laws and secure the borders.

Simple as that.

As long as he sticks with the citizens and the rule of law, we will stick with him.

Yup!
And while this may draw ire from fellow FReepers ... I’ve never been a Trump fan.
But he wasn’t Hillary.

How come so many wealthy people are stupid? I could have explained to that screw worm in detail in just a few minutes and would have charged him only $175,000

What exactly does “working class” mean?

I ask because I agree with everything listed here but not sure that I’d be someone’s definition of working class.

The researchers chide their study subjects for using “racially coded” language “by referencing crime, welfare dependency, and competition for housing and jobs.”

Can these people have any understanding why this "coded language" exists? Do they ever read statistics? or headlines every day?

Coded language? How about what used to be called plain talk? Any more, the left describes truth as dog whistles.

No ire here. It’s actually easier when I know who the uninformed people are.

Thanks.

I was strictly a Cruzer until Trump needled him, terribly crassly and unfairly, I thought- until Cruz reacted and I realized that Cruz would not be able to handle the Democrats and probably not the Republicans in Congress. Trump made all the serious candidates react badly and showed me that he was the only one of them who had a chance of doing the job I was voting for. I didn’t come to actually like him until a month or so into his presidency.

You did not vote in the primaries?
The primaries were about someone who would not sit down and allow the Hilldabest to win like our two previous candidates did.

This study will be easily understood by Trump constituency but will be dismissed by Demos as claptrap.
