Anyone with the grasp on reality you are claiming for these voters knows that Trump will make anything they are already angry about worse for everyone including them.

But they pulled the lever for Trump anyway, because Democrats didn't talk nicely enough to them?

I have no money in the bank, and plenty of struggles of my own that Dems could have helped with far more than they have. I'm angry as hell at Democrats for a number of things. It wasn't enough to get me to pull the lever for Trump.

That's the whole point.

It's why so many never vote at all. Both D's and R's don't do anything meaningful to mitigate the struggles of the working poor. Dems told people working 2-3 jobs to barely survive in this country to be joyful for three months, and shockingly, the message didn't resonate.
