Another brief different view of some fly-over Trump voters, from a facebook comment (equal time here; if he's right some of these folks will swing back against Trump after he fails in 2020; we'll see):
Barry Sussman
Trump tapped into the frustration of those who are working longer and harder for less, if they're working at all. They're angry that the crooked bankers that caused the problem were rewarded with bonuses at the taxpayers' expense under the threat of world wide depression. In a word extortion. Criminality pays.
That the Obama administration never prosecuted the corrupt bankers angered the disaffected working class to the point that they voted for any change as opposed to the business as usual Hillary Clinton represented.
When you're hungry and see a bleak future the guy who says he'll bring back former living standards and restore your dignity sounds appealing. Hell, it worked for a crazy tyrant in Germany after WW I. The New American Century could mirror the Thousand Year Reich of "you know who."
