Well written- with a very pithy observation about Trump supporters and Republican voters in general:

,” and this society allows straight white boys to dodge personal and emotional responsibility until at least the age of 70"

Which is why so many of these Trump supporters sound and behave with such small minded, petty cruelty. There is truly a lack of emotional maturity, and there is a whole entertainment and media industry that tells them how they are really just a lottery win away from being millionaire, that drinking a shake will really make thin, and pills will make them young, and they should be able to walk into any job, anywhere, and make tons of money a year. And if it is not the case, it’s somebody else fault, usually a black/brown/woman.

It’s not true. It has never been true. But this is a belief system, and so many White Republican voters believe in that more strongly than they believe in Jesus Christ.
