The Real Reason White Americans Voted for Trump

Roughly a month ago, Atlantic senior editor Adam Serwer authored an article that MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell soon hailed as "mandatory reading." Titled 'The Nationalist's Delusion," the piece challenges the popular narrative that Trump's electoral triumph was propelled by the economic estrangement of white working- and middle-class voters. Rejecting this account, Serwer holds pervasive and deep-seated, if implicit, animosity toward non-white minorities as the ultimate fillip of the Trump phenomenon. To borrow from MSNBC's Van Jones, the 2016 election outcome was, in Serwer's telling, just one big case of "whitelash." Concerns over lax immigration policies, the flight of blue-collar jobs, Islamic terrorism (and obscurantism thereof), and an expressively stifling culture of political correctness were all a pretext for the maintenance of white supremacy and racial inequality.

A key data point Serwer draws on to advance this claim is Trump's "sweeping victory" across all income categories of white voters:

Trump defeated Clinton among white voters in every income category, winning by a margin of 57 to 34 among whites making less than $30,000; 56 to 37 among those making between $30,000 and $50,000; 61 to 33 for those making $50,000 to $100,000; 56 to 39 among those making $100,000 to $200,000; 50 to 45 among those making $200,000 to $250,000; and 48 to 43 among those making more than $250,000. In other words, Trump won white voters at every level of class and income. He won workers, he won managers, he won owners, he won robber barons. This is not a working-class coalition; it is a nationalist one.

Incidentally, in a veritable "white male privilege coming out party," neo-conservative writer Max Boot recently credited both Serwer and these figures, more specifically, in helping him finally "see the light" of America's endemic racism and xenophobia.

Exactly.

Black voter turnout fell from 66% in 2012 to 59% in 2016.

So Trump's victory can be attributed to strong support among "white racists" ... because a huge contingent of black people who voted for Barack Obama didn't vote for a nasty, broken-down old white hag? Right. LOL.

[IronJack]

Trump's electoral triumph was propelled by the economic estrangement of white working- and middle-class voters.

No. Not just "economic estrangement." Cultural estrangement. Inverted values. Betrayal of the social contract. Racism. Treason. Failure of social and governmental institutions.

In other words, rampant liberalism.

Hillary in jail yet?

Pretty sure that was one of his campaign agendas.

I also get that the poodle prince and princess are still pushing the LGBT agenda from POTUS' coat tails - while Steve Bannon - who understood the Tea Party, got thrown under the bus.

Meanwhile, the Soviets still have Crimea and are enjoying an unprecedented and unopposed presence in the Middle East.

And the Pentagon REFUSED the order of the CIC to expunge transgender perverts from the military.... while an in-your-face lesbian in still commanding the air-farce academey.

Just wait until the see the vote margins in 2020 when it is over 80%.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Cause we’re sick of ****

And we vote smarter

[Thibodeaux]

drivel

slander

[Dana1960]

or as my dad used to say:

“Don’t pee on my head and tell me it’s rainin’ “

[WMarshal]

“I didn’t vote for Trump because he was white. Hillary was white. I voted for Trump because I felt for the first time since Reagan someone running for President actually cared about the things I do ... and meant it. Simple as that.”

I voted for the color brass, Brass Balls that is. I am also anti-raisin balls like Jeb! the “compassionate conservative” has.

I am not tired of winning!

The Curse of Diversity

Anyone who didn’t see this coming, just wasn’t looking. In our country’s recent history we’ve celebrated diversity in our population as if it were a good thing. However, one look at world history will show you that no country with a diverse population of different races, languages, and religion has long survived.

Countries don’t naturally form with a diverse population, and when in the past they’ve occurred it’s usually been as a result of armed conquest. These unnaturally formed countries have either melted together into a single population made up of one mixed race with one language and one religion or they’ve come apart, and they’ve usually come apart with extreme violence. The longer these diverse populations were forced to coexist with one another without mixing and becoming one, the more the hatred grew among them and the more violently they broke apart, but break apart they did, or genocide has settled the issue once and for all.

So what if whites voted their race?

All other races do it unapologetically. Why should we not be able to protect our interest?

Where/whatever, snowflake.

How'come the pentagon was allowed to disregard the CIC's instructions to clean up the tranny infestation?

Well, when I look at the electoral results of 2008, 2012, and 2016, I see that in 2008 there was a lot of blue. Then in 2012, two states in the Midwest flipped red. Then in 2016, four more states in the same area flipped red.

I'm no expert, but that suggests to me that something happened in the Midwest that made them start abandoning the DNC after 4 years of Obama, and quite a few more jumped ship after another 4 years of Obama. The rest of the country seems to stay the same.

If the business of America is business, why should we want another lawyer to run the country? They’ve done such great jobs in the past? Congress doesn’t need another shyster as President to get things done, they need a strong leader and they got one. No nonsense, just results to improve our economy and our well being. Too bad we have so many dumbed down Americans who fear strong leadership. If Hillary won, we’d still be under the control of corrupt wussy leadership. What our congress needs are report cards, like the ones we get in school. If they don’t pass the grade, send them back to their states for a replacement. If we are at the point where we vote on racial lines, along with have and have nots, its over. Bienvenidos a Nuestra República Bananera Unida (I think I got off track here, but it causes me to rant. Agrrrrrrr.)

We could have voted for Cruz. He talked a good game 98% of the time and voted right more than 99% of the time as a US Senator. He was (usually) very much was not Hillary.

We could have voted for Jeb. He was not quite Hillary; he’s a different Amnesty-loving gun-grabber with no charm. [That was a good one - please clap for me.]

We could have voted for Rubio. He was not quite Hillary - he likes men, and she doesn’t.

We could even have voted for Kasich. He shared all of Hillary’s political positions, but no pantsuit, so not Hilary.

Republican voters correctly judged the sincerity of the candidates. Trump’s theme as president seems to be a laser focus on keeping his campaign promises. Is it any wonder that President Trump is making America great again?

[A_perfect_lady]

Donald Trump won the 2016 election because millions of people who voted for Barack Hussein Obama TWICE voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton.

What it boils down to is that white women voted for a black man, but black men would not vote for a white woman. They didn't vote for Trump either; they just stayed home. But that's a big part of it, and it's part of a larger trend wherein white women will support black causes, but black men will not support feminist causes. You see lots of white women at BLM rallies. You see a lot of black men walking with the pink hat coalition? Hell no.

Conclusion: white women might tend toward the left side of the bell curve. Hate to say it, given that I'm one of them, but look: black men got the vote before we did, got the presidency before we did, they get most everything before we do. Why? Because we help them and they won't help us. The only thing a lot of them want to do with us is... well, I'll refer you to the FBI crime statistics. Given how black men often treat black women (70% single mom rate) it's not surprising.

[Chuckster]

Maybe we’re just tired of watching our country being trashed by uninvited and unwanted party crashers.

[Thibodeaux]

Or, outside the blue zone, none of the color of women mattered

[Jim Noble]

This is exactly correct, and the more openly and blatantly the Left promotes anti-white rhetoric, particularly to children, the higher share of the (still large majority) white vote will go to the non-Democrat.

When 97% of whites vote for the non-Democrat, no Democrat will ever win another national or state-wide election.

[onedoug]

He was the best candidate from the beginning.

I’ll vote for him again over anyone.

The same reason EVERYONE who loves America and the American Dream voted for him.
