Not to my knowledge. I honestly wish I did.

Because understanding how other human beings think and feel is the only way I can hope to become a better person.

If you live in a very liberal area, don't have any relatives in America, and are too socially anxious to spend time with people outside of your pre-existing social circles, it's very possible.

Also, in liberal circles, the few Trump supporters tend to be more reasonable, like the woman I mentioned in the OP.

I like to think that the vast majority of T***p supporters are nothing like the rage-filled bigots we tend to see on TV. Those may be the loudest, but that doesn't mean they're representative.

Then why do they support a rage filled bigot?

That's what I'd like to find out. There are many hypotheses that could and have been made, and I have my opinions on which are more or less plausible, but a good start would be to simply ask.

Well hard for me to know when "all liberal all the time" is a literal description of my social circle and my workplace is so full of sons and daughters of refugees (Asians like pharmacy might sound like a stereotype...but it's actually true. At least Hmong.)

That's exactly the same for me. The difference is that I'm not proud of it.

It's not only a matter of where I live, but also of how my life is structured. I don't take part in any of the activities where you meet strangers - partly because interaction with strangers still causes me a good deal of anxiety, and party because I simply don't enjoy most such activities. So the only people I get to know are those I have to spend time with, ie people in the Poli Sci department. If there are any T***p supporters there, I have yet to know them well enough to have a political discussion with them.
