If you think that all the people, who supported Trump, are racist, and supported him for racist reasons, you really don't understand the magnitude of the problem. An uneducated person used to be able to live comfortably in this country. Now that is no longer true. Companies only employ people part time, so they don't have to pay for benefits. This causes unskilled workers to work two or three jobs, and they barely get by. Trump took a page from Sanders' book, and told them they were suffering because illegal aliens were stealing their jobs. That is why they are anti-immigration, not racism, but a dire economic situation. The cause and effects are far more complicated, but that is what a populist demagogue does, assign blame on one group, and give a simplistic answer. A real solution would be to undo everything Reagan did, to recodify the tax structure, to make it more progressive again, restore the safety net, change labor laws so part time workers get benefits, restore pension plan requirements, and impose stiff fines on employers who hire illegal workers.
