So I understand the seeming disconnect between who he is and what they attest to value, and why it’s so confusing. I wouldn’t pretend to know specifically why he has decent support amongst that demographic.
But at the same time, whatever the reason is, even if it’s straight-up racist “I wanna vote for the white power guy”, we don’t tend to see the same sort of questions being asked about minority politicians and their supporters amongst their own demographic. Like my city here in Canada elected a minority race mayor, and the minority folks who made of the bulk of his rally supporters and voters, when interviewed openly said stuff like “finally we’re going to get treated better and he’ll prioritize our issues”. Minority candidates benefit from racist viewpoints all the time, amongst the minority community – racism is only seemingly considered a problem when it’s impeding a minority.
If we accept that sort of sentiment from a minority group individual as a reasonable reason to support a candidate, then it’s equally as reasonable a justification for the white supremacists to support Trump, no?
Eye glasses started showing up around 1300 AD. Implies the basic tech / processes required to make them is relatively simple, given that they’ve been around in some form ever since the middle ages. Granted, they wouldn’t be as sophisticated as they are today, and many people with very niche issues would suffer.
Anything more modern, requiring microchips or heavily integrated international supply chains would go poof. Personally, I’d worry about dental and medical stuff we diagnose with x-rays. Like it’s not too uncommon for people to have a root canal these days… but it didn’t become a more ‘common’ thing until around the 1800-1900 period. Hell, getting your wisdom teeth pulled in a post-event world would likely suck some serious ass.
