Another study contradicts the theory that people voted for Trump due to economic concerns. The study says that white males in particular voted for him because they fear older white males are losing status, that they're afraid it's not their world and their future anymore. That would explain the hostility of so many people to immigrants and, um, women and Jews and Muslims and pretty much any "others." Not to say that if you're a Trump supporter, you're automatically a racist, sexist, or xenophobe, but there are people whose votes were definitely a statement against a changing world with demographics that are different from their own. But you also can't deny that the economic issues are there. So, why do YOU think he won? (New York Times)
