Back before it grew to be too much and far too tiresome, I used to read all the bacon-dripped articles from West Virginia coal country talking to Trump voters — where the economic anxiety in the form of lost jobs, flat wages, and struggling families was real and palpable, but often not the thing people mentioned to explain their votes. Fear and loathing, but mainly loathing, of Hillary Clinton hung in the air like 1950s coal dust, and while there were valid reasons to be wary of the Democratic nominee (I wrote about some, here and here and here), these were not the reasons stated, but more likely the Fox & Friends conspiracy of the week, especially the idea that Clinton somehow caused the death of four Americans in Benghazi. "That she left [the four Americans] there, that they weren't her priority," one 18-year-old Trump voter told Propublica in a story published two days after he won.
