Claire ended: “Whatever else you can say about Donald Trump’s most unsavory supporters, you won’t find many of them wanting to disarm anybody.”
Yup, one of the reasons I did vote for Trump. Another is that he’s pro-life. None of the other major candidates are, not Hillary, not Gary Johnson and not Jill Stein. It wasn’t only that though. I’m a Cruz supporter and believe me, I did not care for the way Trump treated Cruz in the primaries, but Cruz was able to set it aside to vote for Trump and I agreed with his explanation of why that he posted on FB. The other reason was Hillary referring to Trump supporters as a basket of deplorables. I was not a Trump supporter, but I have family and friends who are and you don’t call my family and friends deplorables and not get a reaction from me, she pissed me off with this display of snobbish elitism, holding her nose up to normal, working class folks, so voting for Trump was a no-brainer for me, I did it with a clear conscience! 😉

Long article by Scott Alexander, well worth reading, on the subject of Trump’s “racism” and support of the alt-right:
