What you described is not normal psychology. There must be more involved than that. Perhaps an American conservative view might help here?
their typical view is "sink or swim" and "not MY problem" [while laughing at us].
Aren't a lot of Trump supporters working-class people?
lower middle class. working class people are your nursing home health aides, mickey-D's servers, go-fers* - all the $#!+ jobs these days are working class, minimum wage or barely above, most with no job benefits and lousy working conditions. some here lump the working class in with the "riff-raff" underclass [periodically homeless]. lower-middle class people are entry-level tradespeople, CNAs/LPNs, custodial, customer service, paper pushers, wait staff, lower level technicians, construction et al. middle-middle class types are most independent farmers, most teachers, bureaucrats, RNs, lower management types, journeymen tradespeople, all of 'em with cadillac-level job benefits. the latter two smug groups split for trumpy and the GD electoral college did the rest of the damage. it is because working-class folk did not vote for various reasons, that trumpymaga won.
*granted, down under and in the rest of the commonwealth, "working class" denotes what we call lower-middle class. i have no idea what you call folk below that level.
Bottom line is: A hell of a lot of people voted for Trump.
