29% of Hispanics and Asians voted for Trump. 37% of Other race voted for Trump and even 8% of blacks voted for Trump.
Do you believe they all voted for Trump because of racism?
I also mentioned that many of them are idiots, to be fair.
Trump offered simple solutions to simple people. We will do things better, make America great again, bring jobs back to farmers and truckers and coal miners, everyone will have more money and better insurance etc, but never went into how is he going to do that. A lot of people don't have neither the intellect nor the will to actually delve deeper into how those things are to be achieved. They just saw a successful old white man (in a country where the money is everything) and voted for him. A lot of Trump voters in Trump actually see 'what they would like to be (successful rich people)'.
This notion that politics is mainly a battle of policies is ridiculous. Most of the people don't vote for policies, they vote for people based on personal traits, charisma, the perception of electability and so on. It is why old uncle Joe is doing so well in the polls, or why Trump won. If it was a battle of policies, Warren would easily win both the primaries and the main election.
