Generally I agree with this, even while acknowledging that Ty is right on the numbers.
If you look at things like Trump's inroads in the Hispanic community, which still votes Democratic on the whole but has been giving Rs an increasing share in key places, you will see a variety of historical fears, ranging from the anti-communism of Cubans to worries about immigration from newer groups of immigrants to concerns about women getting uppity, and you'll see a whole lot of Catholicism, too. Sure, the inroads are first and foremost among the most established and well to do, but they don't stop there.
That said, for a discussion about statistical stuff like what income brackets support Trumpists, there is a real lack of actual stats in the discussion itself (though Ty links to some of it).
