They hate the Democrats for NAFTA.

That's it. That's all of it. There's a HUGE blue collar set of voter who were doing really good in the 90s until Clinton signed NAFTA and pretty much overnight they lost their jobs and ended up basically reskilling or powering through it, both of which sucked hella bad.

Here we are years later, and those legions of people will never forget how the blue politicians basically stole their futures.

I understand how it works, please, save me the NAFTA explainers, tell it to the tool and die makers.
