Most of the "poorly educated" white voters that elected Trump know, on some basic level, that their most valuable assets are their white skins. Equality with the rest of us is a demotion for them. They miss the days when they could make a family living wage with 8th grade educations. Competing on merit alone is a non starter for Trump voters. They know they will be losers if they have to compete on merit alone in the 21st century. Why do you think they want to restrict immigration for computer literate immigrants?
