In hierarchies, the people at the bottom are programmed to send their resources to those at the top, and to follow the dictates of the top. Those on top come up with elaborate schemes to make sure they stay there.
In the last presidential election, many poorer and rural people voted Trump/Pence believing it would benefit them. A recent article discusses why they were fooled.
The article states that his most ardent supporters could be in for a surprise. "I think you're going to get a disproportionate impact on people who supported Donald Trump but maybe don't realize that his policies may end up hurting them instead of helping them," said Michael O. Moore, a professor of economics and international affairs at George Washington University.
The author of the article, Mary C. White, points out possible upcoming ramifications in the areas of income, sizes of cities and rural areas, and the fact that half of the Republicans have Obamacare.
