I don't disagree with anything Umair said. There are some additional factors in play in all of this, though. One of them is to do with the scale of the country and the relevance of what happens in national politics to how people see their daily lives. I know from working some of the time in rural California that people can have a hard time connecting their daily struggles with what's happening in Sacramento, never mind in DC. Under those circumstances it's perhaps(?) easier for some people (by no means all) to treat national politics as a kind of entertainment show. If that's true for you and you're also not disposed to be all that caring about the fate of minorities (or really anyone else much), then maybe it's easier to vote for someone like Trump, who at least provides entertainment by riling up so many establishment types?
