Fair enough.

A lot of my opinion is just based off local observation. Ag producers were ecstatic about EPA and FDA restrictions being reduced... now they're terrified they won't have any sub-$13 an hour workers in a couple months. Home schoolers and anti-public school advocates were thrilled with the idea that their kids will soon be enrolled in the private school down the street for free... and they're going to be terribly upset when their applications are denied in a year or two even though they're white and Christian (but also poor and not very good at sports). 

If things for those folks continue to get worse, they're going to turn on Trump like they did the Dems/Republicans.
