Not with an article like this. It may sit well with the d-baggers, but it won't sit well with average Americans. I mean, really, who wants to be called a racist, sexist, bigot because they voted for Trump? The left simply isn't learning..... At this point, they may be incapable.

His economic plan was much better than Hillary's. This guy is smoking dope. Just another pathetic loser whining about losing.

The blunt fact is that Trump is the one who was playing identity politics, exploiting the cultural divide rather than economic unfairness. “Cultural anxiety” among white people explains Trump’s success much better than anything else.

The problem is that “cultural divide” is a euphemism for bigotry versus inclusiveness, so pundits find it safer to say that Trump’s appeal was based on economic issues, even though he never articulated anything close to an agenda that someone who cares about middle- and lower-middle-class people could endorse.
