Why exclude the wealthy white males?
Mainly because they are members of the class of people that will benefit, directly and indirectly, from a Trump presidency.
Knowing this, they aren’t stupid for voting for the person who will enable the gross accumulation of wealth through the systematic deregulation of industries and privatization of government services. There’s one group of people who will benefit from this: the wealthy (who are disproportionately white and male).
The idiots are people who voted for Trump thinking that his administration will result in a net positive for them socially and economically.
Voting against your interests is dumb; voting inline with your interests is not.
The only white males that will benefit from a trump presidency are billionaires. Anyone else isn't voting inline with their best interests
... so you might say, wealthy white males.
Not really, "wealthy white males" is a group that could contain millions of people. In no context does "wealthy white males" exclusively mean billionaires.
I think that's what they meant by wealthy
Because they might just be selfish and evil.
