    Thats the brilliance of it; he ran an inpopular platform intended to help the rich get richer and simultaneously fought a culture war that gained him the support of the massive, white, rural, uneducated class.

    A side anecdote: I have an acquatance of a friend who is both Brown, and a Trump Supporter - I was baffled and couldn’t understand why they would support an openly racist candidate.
