    These folks feel like they’re being shunned by the institutions that forge our societal narratives, that they’ve been effectively labeled pariahs.

    This is the anger to which I referred. At least in part. They are still the problem if they are being taken advantage of in way which negatively impacts others, which was my point to begin with.

      See, that seems like victim-blaming to me. Don’t get me wrong, I see what you’re saying, and I agree that supporting a psychopathic narcissist simply because he tells you what you want to hear is part of the problem, but that’s a an action taken by a group of people, not the people themselves. If we simply say “Trump supporters are the problem,” we’re being just as reductionistic as arch conservatives who claim liberals are ruining the country.
