This is the other notion that needs to be debunked. Where is it etched in stone that a person can't be racist simply because they are a member of the "white working class". I know that there is a need to extoll the virtues of this particular group but a quick history examination will clear this up. This is not meant indict all members either before we play the generalization game.

The white working class has historically denied minorities entry into working class occupations. Working class unions have been among the biggest perpetrators of bigotry and racism. Look at any Fire Dept, Construction site, Streets and Sanitation truck and tell me what you see working on it. You think this is by accident? You can go up and down the line and if it is a working class job chances are it will be manned by Whites. Even in your "urban" areas this will be the case.

Blacks have lived with this reality for decades also and their anxieties and frustrations have been mostly ignored. When Affirmative Action was installed as a means of combating discrimination it was the White Working Class among others that vehemently complained about it. Referred to it as "reverse discrimination". This election has taken the scab off of a lot of things that have frankly laid dormant for decades. It will be interesting to see how it plays out but for too long groups like the tea party and alt right have had a monopoly on being agitated. Now there will be pushback from the other side.

What?

You can find a percentage of voters for any candidate/party that fit whatever narrative you are trying to build. It would be just as fair or unfair to do the same with Democratic voters of previous elections.

If it is ok to stereotype all Trump voters then it is ok to stereotype other voters in other elections.

LTG yes you are attempting to stereotype all Trump supporters, you are just trying to dance around it. Come on man. Look at what you are posting. It is hateful and divisive. The exact things you are claiming the other guys to be. So why don't you step away from the computer take a breath and let the guy be sworn in.
HRC was not just about racism, it was about people being fed up with being fucked with. Trump tapped into a feeling that had been growing for a few years just look at Illinois with the election of Rauner. You need some better optics on the situation. Race is not the end all be all for most people in voting. For some yes it is ,for most no not in the least.

a "Republican" President and a few dumb things he said that he has already walked back

No one is attempting to stereotype "all" Trump voters either. That is a narrative promoted by Trump voters and supporters. It is done as a way of excusing the racism of a portion of Trump supporters. There is no way to quantify this because if you asked them if they're racists you could pretty much insure that the percentage is less than 2%

Rauner is a good example on "MANY" levels. Let's look at the hypocrisy involved in all this. Barack Obama was made to disavow Jeremiah Wright because of the implication that he held the same views. How is this any different?

It's patently ridiculous to suggest he didn't have a substantial plurality that aren't. Let's call spades spades...

What?

You keep saying this, but it makes no sense. Would you be okay with a president saying he was going to round up all the Jews if he "walked it back" once he was in office?

"You need both a public and a private position,” Mrs. Clinton said in an April 2013 address. “You just have to sort of figure out how to — getting back to that word, ‘balance’ - how to balance the public and the private efforts that are necessary to be successful, politically, and that’s not just a comment about today.”

You are though. You're assuming bad intentions. Hillary Clinton was an objectively bad candidate who ran an objectively bad campaign and you tried to shame those who didn't vote for her and now that she lost you are doubling down instead of learning something.

Let me ask you a couple questions. Do you think there is a "basket of deplorables" in Islam? Do you think Hillary Clinton would ever stand up in a room and suggest such a thing? #NotAllTrumpVoters
