Empathy for Me, but not for Thee

The liberal bi-coastal media is on the hunt for the true snark; a Trump voter who they can empathize with.  Forget the yahoos who populate the rallies wearing their "Trump that Bitch" t-shirts and screaming Jew-S-A at the thoroughly intimidated press corps in their pen.  The media has fanned out across Murica in search of someone who simultaneously is for Trump and is not one of the following, racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic and/or generally intolerant.  The best they seem to be able to do is tag most of them as "angry".  This seems to be a perpetual state of these citizens' existences.  They are pulsing inchoate hatred at anyone they perceive as different or more privileged than they are.  As you might imagine this is a significant number of their fellow nationals.  Somehow, a belligerent supposed billionaire has come to embody all the protest these people feel.   Voting for someone totally unqualified for high office is their middle finger to the elitists who look down on them.  So what if his policies will actually make their lives harder both short and long term.  It's worth it if it pisses off liberals!  How anyone can empathize with this world view is far beyond my understanding.
