But I never said Trump was racist...Never... nor did I say every trump supporter was racist...never... Like I said, it doesn't work in my scenario.  What I'm getting at is the stuff Trump said during the campaign hadn't been heard of for years in any candidate. When supporters who thought like Trump was speaking heard about him, they came out of the woodwork because of the way he spoke, the way he carried himself.  It reminded them of themselves. I'm obviously referring to the KKK and other WS groups. Bush wasn't supported by the KKK, Clinton wasn't, Bush Sr. wasn't, Regan wasn't, Carter wasn't...need I go on. Why Trump? You know?

The voting percentage was low, so I don't really think Trump was able to wake anyone up, quite the opposite. The elections in a nutshell was people voting against the candidate they saw less bad. That's pretty much all there is. If KKK thought Trump was the better candidate, that's what they did then, it's not like Clinton campaign wasn't a more pr less direct attack against these people. Looks more like the same people that voted Obama, voted for Trump this time.

5 Million more people voted in 2016 vs. 2012. Obama had the popular vote in 2012 and won by 5 million votes. This year it went up for Republican and Democratic votes, about 5 million more for Democrats 10 million more for republicans. He woke some people up and some people shifted. You can't say one didn't happen.
