What we're looking at with Trump is a reaction relating to the realization of loss. The loss wasn't averted but was actualized among the white working class. We can hope that they are in an early, irrational stage in the grief and that it will pass.
People hate going backwards. Voting for Trump is about anger and denial but the lives of that class have changed forever. They better get over the denial because they are only hurting themselves. Politics is not a good venue for the venting of rage.
