I've seen plenty from his campaign, or the general republican campaign, that hammers on economic stuff

Whats the majority of what you hear about? An 'invasion' of immigrants and how they are 'poisoning our blood'

That was his core demographic that won him the 2016 primaries. He had a bigger coalition than that for the 2016 general. But he ain't got shit but that core now.

"Economic Anxiety" is just liberal weasel words for economic failures of capitalism, but those are real and they do cause racism. Some people are just raised racist. But the worse the economy does the more racism you well see.

trump is the blowback to neoliberalism

That's his core, yeah, the people who will vote for him no matter what. But I don't think those people alone are enough to give him a victory. If he wins, it's because it's that core plus the people who feel economic pressure, which generally translates to voting for whoever isn't currently in the White House.
