There is surely some of that, but Obama won twice, with majorities of the popular vote, and Hillary won the popular vote by almost three million votes. So there must be other factors as well. I think that working-class resentment of Democrats for decades of free-trade agreements and mass immigration are part of it. Trump offers them the opposite, which is what they want.
Immigration has stayed the same for decades. In times world wide recession their are more immigrants. You complain about inflation but reject the immigrants who labor in the fields, meat packing plants and hotels and restaurants that employ them for much less then minimum wage to provide Americans with cheap produce, meat, and a night out. You can't pay a person $8 an hour to pick grapes and then expect grapes to cost less than $10 a pound. People have no concept of capitalism. They don't understand how our economic system works. The average European 14 year old knows more about econ than most American adults.
What more do you people want from Kamala? Well, for a lot of them it’s “don’t be a black and don’t be a woman”

Sad and true.
