The New Blue and Red: An Educational Split Is Replacing the Culture War
#5
When it comes to why people oppose Hillary, this article on the other thread covers it pretty well.

At least a good part of it.

The best way forward is not to put down liberals as this and that, but join them and support them. You must choose between the blue and the red. If "liberals" are not interested in the "average American," then they aren't "liberals;" they are conservatives. So call them what they are. Liberal democrats oppose free trade and corporate globalization far more than conservative Republicans do. Trump is a maverick on that issue.

As for non-white groups, if you want "liberal" progress and opportunity for all in a society where all are respected and treated fairly, then they are the allies and friends of white liberals. Treat them as such, and with respect. These groups generally have little interest in joining the wealthy elite Republicans with their absurd, individualist self-reliance memes and trickle-down schemes. They don't work, and we need social programs that protect and advance the interests of everyone.

As for blue collar workers and the non-college educated, or as Trump called them in Nevada, "the poorly-educated" whom he "loves," it is up to them to show that they are just as smart as anyone else, and NOT fall for the ridiculous Republican memes and slogans and the racist dog-whistles. Otherwise, they are just on the wrong team and must be defeated at the polls.
