One political scientist claims what we've all known for a couple of years now, #DonaldTrump supporters, #TrumpNation, are racists. Or at least terrified of losing their perceived privilege.
Meanwhile, a few things did correlate with support for Trump: a voter’s desire for their group to be dominant, as well as how much they disagreed with Clinton’s views on trade and China. Trump supporters were also more likely than Clinton voters to feel that “the American way of life is threatened,” and that high-status groups, like men, Christians, and whites, are discriminated against.

Yet more proof of racist tribalism, NOT the suffering white working class.
