While I'm mindful of the distinction between the two, it's difficult to miss the fact that Trump is empowered by a large proportion of that very same population. Hillary Clinton's mistake wasn't calling voters "a basket of deplorables". It was underestimating the size of the basket.
That basket is about 40% of the voting-age population. Generalities about the remaining 60% are not apt, yet that's what you did. Sorry, but that's the fact.
