Actually, I've spent some time on the subject. In fact, people who voted for Trump did not feel any more economic anxiety than people who voted for Clinton. Median income among Trump voters was quite a bit higher than Clinton voters, so, I'd say they weren't really all that stressed out, just worried and wound up by right wing propaganda.
What was clear: Trump's rhetoric attracted votes from misogynist and racist whites like no other candidate in the modern era.
This is all to say that it's a fucking lie that white people voted for Trump because they wanted less government. The government expanded programs and grew spending under Trump and you are trying to say otherwise. The states that voted for Trump also collect more from the Federal government than they pay in federal taxes. Regarding freedom? "I can't breathe". Also, you fuckers tried to steal away an election you lost. You are no more concerned about freedom than Hannibal Lector was about table manners. Stop it with the lying and gaslighting. It doesn't work any more.
A Republican wants to cancel programs that other people need. Corollary to that is Republicans want more from the government than they currently receive, regardless of social standing.
