To understand Trump voters (or any other group of persons who do not share your opinions) requires that the MSM (or rather the individuals who comprise it) realize, acknowledge and accept that other viewpoints, and persons who hold them, even exist. But one of the prime characteristics of modern ‘progressive’ thought is to assume that one’s opinions are self-evident Truth, hence proven fact, settled science, irrefutable. Therefore, that anybody disagrees with them, or acts as if they do (such as voting for DJT) is incomprehensible, if they even exist.

They attempt to de-humanize us, the same way Hitler de-humanized the Jews, Stalin de-humanized the Kulaks, and the Khmer Rouge de-humanized anyone with an education.
Problem for the Democrats is, unlike their compadres' success in wiping out all those people, we have guns and the ability to use them.

They have no idea of what rural and middle America is like.

Trump, with his constant tweeting and needy ego, has never even tried to be "presidential." What one has to ask is acting presidential so important, or is getting things done that enhance America more important. I think the majority of Americans are starting to realize that they prefer the latter over the former.
