As a related example it's like when Brexit happened and everyone said it was raciss and the liberal press couldn't wrap their heads around it. The real reason behind the leave side winning was that the EU common market did not benefit the majority of people in the UK, and they opted out. It seems a lot of people on the left were so blinded by their privilege that the ordinary ordinary working class has ceased to be visible. I thought the vote was a huge win against globalism myself.
A very similar situation in the USA right now, and I would not be surprised if Trump wins. I would vote for Trump over Hilary even if Satan himself shoots out of his mouth at the next debate.
Trump lies like my dad after a couple of Vodkas. Hillary is the polished lie of capitalism, usury, the NSA, and the status quo in which we are no longer citizens and partners but just consumers to be exploited.

You are misunderstanding a secondary effect. The right wing media is fucking nuts crazy and has been drilling into the heads of all those who would listen, that the end of the good ole days were coming soon. Obama getting elected was their worst nightmare come true and a signal the time had come, hence the reason they went ape shit crazy with the Tea Party..
Now after Obama it's a women.. their second worst nightmare.. It's the end days for their thoughts of white male controlled world. This doesn't sit well and they keep going more nuts each day become more and more radicalized.
They look at the fact the economy isn't what it once was and of course lay blame on everyone but their own polices.
Just like Hitler had a bad economy in Germany and used racism to lay blame.. Not in any way saying Trump is Hitler because that's not what I think, but it's the same reason a crazy guy swept to power. This is the same kind of wave Trump is using and his little followers eat the shit up.
