    They have a name for your syndrome:

    5. Relative deprivation

    Relative deprivation refers to the experience of being deprived of something to which one believes they are entitled. It is the discontent felt when one compares their position in life to others who they feel are equal or inferior but have unfairly had more success than them.
    Common explanations for Trump’s popularity among non-bigoted voters involve economics. There is no doubt that some Trump supporters are simply angry that American jobs are being lost to Mexico and China, which is certainly understandable, although these loyalists often ignore the fact that some of these careers are actually being lost due to the accelerating pace of automation.

    These Trump supporters are experiencing relative deprivation, and are common among the swing states like Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. This kind of deprivation is specifically referred to as “relative,” as opposed to “absolute,” because the feeling is often based on a skewed perception of what one is entitled to.

    Relative deprivation?

    Thats a new one

    You must have stayed up all night searching for that

    But all the fancy lib bs aside trump voters want secure borders, a strong manufacturing economy to support the service industries, and an end to the Deep State

    Meaning a return to the rule of law that has been missing since obama was in office

    Not only are you still wrong here, but you are now back tracking on your post I quoted. And I did not mention anything about bringing back jobs - I directly responded to your post about alternative markets to import from. You need to face the fact that a "fair trade policy" is an impossible dream between countries that have a huge difference in labor costs

    for the last time, factory worker can move up to the chain by improve there skill, no one said turn them into aerospace engineers and its aerospace not "aurospece" those low skill can get community college degree or train in operating newer machine used in manufacture etc. yes there are a lot foreigner grad here, which a lot them stay here and become US citizen eventually. if you don't want to move upto the skill chain that's your own laziness not others. There are plenty ppl done that, and eventually find better jobs

    If you think everyone in America can be above averahe if they just attend community college I beg to differ

    Its not a crime against humanity to be average

    We need average low skill jobs to fit average low skill workers

    there are plenty avg skill jobs, if making socks didn't work, go make autos or steels, unemployment rate is under 4% there are plenty job offer online. if they are young join military, get the education on uncle sams dime. not everyone willing to change, that's why when there is someone willing to acquire new skill they get the job. I didn't born with my skill set, I learn it, and I work hard than others to acquired it, and I continue to learn new skills over the year to advance my career, its accumulative process.
