Ok. I still don’t see how what I’ve posted makes me a condescending liberal elitist but whatever.

Really wasn’t targetting you so much as the media coverage of all these “Trump voters are so screwed by Trump’s policies” articles in the media these days, which include graphics like the one you used. It’s rare for one of these articles to successfully get to the issues that actually motivate these voters to continue to rally behind Trump. Taking a look at this story, the Charla McComic story is your typical “there are huge gaps in her motivation/logic here that could easily be filled in by a pushy reporter but instead we’ll leave the gaps in place and she’ll sound like a moron”. The Nancy Ware story is better – the motivations are fully revealed, but not analyzed in the least.
