Many Trump voters seem to feel that a progressive approach to improving the economy is a zero-sun game. They seem to be more concerned that blacks or women or Mexicans might compete with them for their job, rather than that the CEO or the boss won't pay them or hire them in order to protect their profits and stockholders.
Clearly, the problem with our economy is the latter. All of us of whatever race or group face the same challenge of the 1% owning and controlling too much of the economy. I don't see that putting your fellow victims of this injustice into an arbitrary group competing with you for the crumbs left over after the trickle down fails to trickle, solves any problems.
And that goes for generational grouping too, as if Boomers are the problem instead of Xers or Millennials.
