They're the easiest prey for snake oil vendors because they desperatly crave some kind of hope, some way to feel meaningful. Some seemingly ulterior cause can offer that.

You're correct but I'm just updating you what said to make it more relevant to today.
Or for those of us from the UK you can substitute Trump with UKIP

Quote:But one of the striking things about UKIP is its appeal to older, working class former Tories, especially those who left school at 15 or 16 and earn less than £20,000 a year. They are people who might be thought to be natural Labour voters – but have tended to look to tax cuts rather than social solidarity to improve their lot. Now, five years of squeezed living standards and three decades of mounting inequality and job insecurity, many have given up on all three of the traditional main parties. UKIP has had far less success appealing to better-off voters, graduates and those under 40.
