Can't it be both? I don't like to say this because it makes me an asshole, but I have a low opinion on the average person's critical thinking skills and intelligence, so I understand when you say there is no way to connect with Trump voters other than the Kick Me In The Balls channel. But I don't think that's all of them. There were just too many in the general election for there not to be a cross-section of normal, decent folks that rode the Trump Train, and I believe we ignore their voice at our peril. The DNC used to represent the working class, the union members, the blue collar folks. Can we honestly say they still do? Neither candidate would probably have done anything for them, but Trump at least said he would.

I do not believe that The_Donald is representative of all the Trump voters. Did the SEALs you hung out with all vote for Hillary? Or did some vote for Trump?
