WAPO: Trump, Demagogue the founders feared. by Michael Gerson
"As the unthinkable becomes likely, the question arises: Who is really to blame for Donald Trump?"
Interesting anti-democratic position: "As voters make their choices, and the elite doesn't like it, who is to blame?" What is the universe of discourse of Gerson in "who is really to blame"
"The proximate answer is a durable plurality in the Republican primary electorate, concentrated among non-college-educated whites but not limited to them."
In other words: Voters, who are described as stupid whites, and a few others (I assume me!) is the universe that got it wrong, and only the whites got it right. The post voting interviews shows that Trump wins across all populations, women, men, even blacks and latinos in places. I haven't really looked at those statistics in detail, but that is what I heard. In any case, I believe with over a decade of college education I am the only one supporting Trump, except my brother does too?
This minute differentiation between groups of voters might be good to plot incoherent strategy, and is used by the pundits for incoherent remarks. It just riles me up for its stupidity and its contempt of the voter.
