Gritting Our Teeth and Giving President Trump a Chance - The New York Times

Gritting Our Teeth and Giving President Trump a Chance - The New York Times:

Democrats are too quick to caricature Trump supporters as deplorables. Sure, some are racists or misogynists, but many are good people who had voted for Obama in the past. My rural hometown, Yamhill, Ore., is pro-Trump, and I can tell you: The voters there are not all bigoted monsters, but well-meaning people upended by economic changes such as the disappearance of good manufacturing jobs. They feel betrayed by the Democratic and Republican establishments, and finally a candidate spoke to them.
Liberals condemn the stereotyping of Latinos or Muslims but have been quick to stereotype Trump voters.
