Part of the narrative which is sort of supported by the data is that Trump voters are the least educated, and they're voting for Trump out of white solidarity or out of frustration that they're, quote, unquote, "losing their country".

Throughout history there have been black people who have played mammies, all sorts of offensive images, who didn't mind doing it.
