But the rise of Trump kind of represents a unique cross-roads here. Kind of the beginning of the last battles (hopefully) around institutionalized racism and sexism, where these concepts are finally encroaching on the daily thoughts, if not actually on the daily lives, of those still reliant on those systems to maintain their "way of life". And they are fighting back to keep it status quo. Hence they view him as a savior. To me, given the current zeitgeist, these kinds of people voting for Trump makes sense. It's sad and pathetic, but it makes sense.
