The GOP created their "basket of deplorables". Trump just found and motivated them. Trump loves the "poorly educated" and they love him. They are easier to con than the well educated. They even send Trump money. The GOP elite built this hot mess of a party. This election is the culmination of 50 years of the Republican Southern Strategy. Their base cares more about being white than being an American or being merely human. For that matter, they care more about being white than being Republicans. We can see the guns and rebel flags at Trump rallies. We hear their threats of violence.
