4. These little morons aren't voting based on economics

It's because they are voting because they are losers like Trump. These are the kind of men that are going to blame everything else that's going on in their lives besides themselves. Also if you own a truck that gets 16 miles per the gallon well no shit Sherlock that might be the fucking problem. If you can afford a truck you can afford the gas. Again it's not about economics it's about well authoritarianism that's what young men want apparently.
