White supremacists and people who don't want to admit to themselves that they are white supremacists.

That's an over-simplification, though. Some "white supremacists" are women -- why do they vote for Trump? Some Trump voters aren't white -- what are their thoughts?

This is not a simple issue, though you seem to think it is.

There's a difference between target audience and every single person that's voting for him.

But I wouldn't be too surprised if a large amount of the women voting for him have internalized misogyny and a large amount of the non white people voting for him have internalized racism.
