There's this:

Nearly half of Trump's supporters described African Americans as more "violent" than whites. The same proportion described African Americans as more "criminal" than whites, while 40 percent described them as more "lazy" than whites.

Yet there's also this:

In smaller, but still significant, numbers, Clinton backers also viewed blacks more critically than whites with regard to certain personality traits. Nearly one-third of Clinton supporters described blacks as more "violent" and "criminal" than whites, and one-quarter described them as more "lazy" than whites.

Everyone has their reasons for voting the way they do. I vote for Democrats because I think they're more likely to help vulnerable people, whether it's from economic or social struggles. Yet I know that they don't always accomplish it, or even try very hard sometimes.

There was a study a few years ago that showed even the Democratic representatives were more aligned with policies that the wealthy or middle class favored over policies that the poor favored. It's just that Republicans were far worse that way, so Democrats were superior (to me) on a comparative basis.
