i'll copy paste the comment of another user because it's ecaclty what I meant

I'm gonna copypasta myself: Reddit still doesn't get why Trump won if it upvotes stuff like this as an explanation for Trump's success. Not surprising given how out of touch Reddit is with the American working class. According to Alexa, only 44% of Redditors are even American. And of that the vast majority are millennial far left progressives who are either in college or working in some IT/service related job in big cities. The sheer level of insufferable arrogance and self-rightous indignation from upper-middle class liberals that dominate Reddit discussion is a massive reason why. A huge part of why nationalism (whether it's Trump or Brexit or populist parties Swedish Democrats in Sweden, Front Nationale in France, and others throughout Europe) is seeing such a surge in support is in opposition to the CONSTANT liberal circlejerking in the media and refusal to even consider that the working class isn't a bunch of idiotic, evil racists, but bases it's vote on real world experiences that they go through and rational self interest. They are sick and tired of sneering upper middle class liberals scaremongering about anybody who isn't part of the political establishment and being called racists for wanting to maintain a national sovereignty and set of values. They are sick and tired of being told by some progressive millennial online about how they're sexist for not voting Hillary, how they're hateful for opposing BLM, how they're Islamophobic for actually calling out Islamic terrorism as being driven by a religious doctrine, or how they're stupid bigots from people who get their worldview from Vox and Huffington Post. People are sick and tired of ad hominems being the dominant form of discourse from the left whenever issues relating to protecting our national borders and culture come up. They are sick and tired of their acquaintances screaming on Facebook UNFRIEND ME IF YOU SUPPORT TRUMP YOU RACIST BIGOT. The entire mendacious edifice built around shaming people who dissent against the PC orthodoxy of cultural relativism and globalism is doing nothing but backfiring on the left all over the world, and will continue to do so. Reddit loves Jon Oliver and Colbert, but really they not only didn't hurt Trump with their dismissal of his following but actually probably helped him. The upper-middle class media liberals in New York or LA who don't see a problem with globalism are the types of people who aren't affected by it like the native working class. They get to live in gated communities and in expensive apartments surrounded by other upper-middle class liberals, and don't have to interact with those Muslim migrants who are completely unwilling to assimilate into Western culture like the working class who lives around them. They also aren't as affected by the complete gutting of industrial jobs, the massive increases in real estate prices completely pricing average Americans out of their home ownership or the huge pressure on the labor market and welfare system by lax immigration policies. It's easy to pat yourself on the back and circlejerk how cosmopolitan and tolerant you are for supporting virtue signalling policies when they don't directly affect you, and call everyone who dissents a bigot. The multicultural utopian worldview would quickly collapse when faced with the reality that working class people deal with, and perhaps maybe then they wouldn't just dismiss their perfectly valid concerns. And maybe the left may start seeing the votes not constantly slip away into the arms of populists who at least listen to these concerns, instead of demonizing them. And until all of the professional class elitists get their head out of their little bubble and get in touch with what matters to the common man, we will continue coming out to the voting booth and burning your entire globalist establishment to the fucking ground.
