This post was aimed at the "poor" claim. It shows those with lower income levels were more likely to vote Democratic than Republican. Above $100,000 they are almost evenly divided with a Republican lead of only 1-2% per income category. But below $30,000 Clinton had a 12% lead and a 4% lead between those making $30,000-50,000. So, Republican voters were higher income than Democrats. That would seem logical seem Democrats are always claiming "Republicans are for the wealthy."
For the education thing, what are you calling educated?

The fourteen million? The voted against Trump, a very educated decision.
Various studies show 9-13% of Trump voters in 2016 voted for Obama in 2012. Many of these were concentrated in the swing states of the Midwest.
Were these 8.4 million voters also poor, uneducated hicks when they voted for Obama; or, were they poor unfortunates who are the most vulnerable among us?

Good questions, Flash: look up the answers and tell us what you find.
Thanks, jimmymcready
The answer is no. Democrats would never denigrate voters with lower incomes and educational levels if they voted for Obama. But, they will denigrate Trump voters who are actually higher income and not "uneducated."
Again, I am not a Trump supporter or defender and do not defend his voters; but, I dislike posts which tend to denigrate others, especially when based on false information. When somebody loses (election, ball game) it makes them feel better if they can say nasty things about the winning side.
Oh, I agree with your final observation, and Dems and Pubs, libs and cons, and particularly libertarians and anarchists -- many of them do that.
