      1. I couldn't disagree with this column more. Trump supporters are not "idiots." They are racists.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/730385921040891904 …

      Real talk: Most of us dismissed Trump's chance because we didn't think the GOP was filled with complete idiots http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/05/heres-the-real-reason-we-all-underrated-trump.html …

      2. Trump won because he's selling white nationalism and a plurality (maybe a bare majority) of GOP primary voters want that.

      3. Trump fans are not "idiots" in any normal sense of the word. They are wealthier & better educated than the average American.

      4. As well-to-do fairly well-educated white people, Trumpkins feel threatened by changing demographics & challenges to racial hierarchy.

      5. If you are anti-racist, fair to say Trump supporters are immoral for their xenophobia. But not really idiotic. The racism benefits them

      @HeerJeet uh-oh. You're coming close to noting that there might be real economic grievances here.

      @michaelbd I think there are real grievances with most Americans, but in Trumpists grievances intertwined with racism.

          @HeerJeet @brianbeutler And Jeet was coming perilously close to saying the economic strain may generate the racism.

          @michaelbd @HeerJeet Those who have the most to lose in *relative* social or economic standing fight hardest against change.
