more than 2/3rds of trump voters earn >$50k a year more than 3/4ths of trump voters live in the suburbs or a city with >50k people how does this fit into the narrative that trump was elected by poors living in the sticks?

I don't know if any of them have made $50k per year at any point in their lives, they certainly don't live in a city, and they are poors living in the sticks. This is, of course, only anecdotal to the point you were making.

This is, of course, only anecdotal to the point you were making. these numbers are from the NYT exit polls: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/11/08/us/politics/election-exit-polls.html of all voters in the 2016 general election: 17% earned under $30k, and 41% of those were for trump, making up ~7% of total voters 19% earned $30k to $49k, and 42% of those were for trump, making up ~8% of total voters 31% earned $50k to 99k, and 50% of those were for trump, making up ~15% of total voters 24% earned $100k to $199k, 48% of those were for trump, making up ~12% of total voters 4% earned $200k to $249k, and 49% of those were for trump, making up ~2% of total voters 6% earned $250k or more, and 48% of those were for trump, making up ~3% of total voters so ~15% of voters earned under $50k and voted for trump, and ~32% earned over $50k and voted for trump so over 2/3rds of trump voters earned over $50k however, i'm not certain if the NYT was polling for individual income or household income you can do the same math for the residence poll and see that, while rural areas were heavily in favor or trump, big cities were heavily in favor of hillary, and the suburbs were split, rural voters made up such a small portion of total voters that 3/4ths of trump voters were from the cities or the suburbs anyway

So Trump won 50% of the voters who both (A) make enough money to actually have to pay for the Democrats' social engineering programs via a net federal income tax liability, but (B) do not make so much money that having to pay for the welfare state does not significantly impact their standard of living. Sounds about right. Surprising that he failed to reach 50% of the upper income vote, but then again this was an election in which he got creamed on the west and northeast coasts and lost the national popular vote as a result.

Hillary Clinton won the very poor, the very rich (anyone earning over $200k a year), and a lot of millennials. Trump took home the Republicans, the racists, and a lot of people making anywhere from $40-80k who haven't had a raise in decades.

This is where the argument that she didn't speak to people on their economic interests actually makes a lot more sense. In the case of poor hicks, and if they had a propensity to vote left to begin with, they are not in a hurry to lose Medicaid, the ACA, food stamps, welfare etc. These entitlements are important to the very poor. Middle class hicks though, have no desire to fund these things. They are the people who genuinely believe that their tax rate is an effect of funding the poor rather than funding the already wealthy. Guess what? Nah, fam. That's not actually how it works. It's not their fault they don't know; we've been lying to them through talk radio for decades.

it's not about who voted for trump, it's about who stayed home. republicans vote in the same amount of numbers in each presidential race, but the enthusiasm gap was real for Hillary and she did fuckall to attack it. her ground game was almost entirely focused on the suburbs and had almost no presence in black communities across the country

These were white, apparently middle class, independent voter inhabited communities that did not turn out. I've been hearing this info on loop since the close of the election.

These people voted for Nixon, Reagan and now Trump. They are known as either Blue Dog or Reagan democrats by turns. And oh look! Why yes, they are the denizens of Hillary's neglected firewall.

They used to be genuine swing voters from the 30's to the 60's. In '72 they went to the right up until 88. Blue dog democrat is a term that was popular from the 90's up until 2010, they described themselves as yellow dog dems that were choked blue. Yellow dog was a play on the idea that the democratic voter would vote for a democrat even if it was a yellow dog. This term went out of circulation in the late 20's however. The dem party lost the racist vote when LBJ was in office, perhaps as a reaction to civil rights gaining traction during that period and during the JFK administration that went before.

Before the Blue Dog democrats there were the: "Boll weevil Democrats who were conservative southern Democrats in the mid 1900s, largely known for their opposition to civil rights. They used the term because the boll weevil, a southern pest, could not be eliminated by pesticides – politicians therefore thought of them as a symbol of tenacity. The term fell out of use in the 1980s, and conservative Democrats are now known as Blue Dogs." - political dictionary
