Trumpers Aren't Conservative: They're White Supremacists

Hey Liz,
They don’t actually give a fuck about the constitution. They don’t care about Government spending. They don’t care about Democracy. I know many Trumpers who are actually for social welfare programs.
What most of them care about that they know they can’t say… This is cultural. They want white people in charge, white-washed history taught in schools, social programs for white people only. They want people of color to have less than them, but to also be grateful that they get to live in America. This is a power grab.
For some others, minority Trumpers, this is also cultural. They are anti gay and especially anti trans.
Our best hope is to widen our lead with undecideds. We have to find them, get in front of them, and tell them something they want to hear. And that’s why, it’s still the economy stupid.
We are gaining ground on the economy, but I think we could do better. We need to make everything about the Economy. Trump wants to deport Immigrants, that’ll the hurt the Economy. Trump wants to pull out of Ukraine, that’s bad for the Economy.

There's nothing to convince here, except to get out sane voters who usually skip it.

Also big corps lobbying for the republican destruction of government so they won't have to pay taxes.

Following the Civil Rights Movement, republicans welcomed the bigoted southern Democrats angered by integration, voting rights, etc. (the Southern Strategy). Southerners have since largely influenced the anti-rights stance of the republican party.

While using the Southern Strategy, Ronald Reagan was simultaneously successful in (further) souring white people's view on government in part by portraying government as an instrument that took hard-working white dollars and gave it to lazy black welfare cheats.

It's not random how the republican party has become a largely white and male dominated entity primed for a Rush Limbaugh to stoke hate. Limbaugh heightened the anti-rights and anti-government hate among republicans by spending hours every day convincing them that liberals were coming to give away all the rights and equal protection under the law that white people like him enjoyed to everyone else. When all people have equal protection under the law white people no longer control the consensus alone. And he heightened his listeners' awareness of this fact.

Dittoheads became teabaggers became birthers became maga/trumpers.
