    The only way they could get people to complain about “social issues” is asking people that voted trump

    Well, he won the election. If you want to find out why, you ask the people who voted for him, as well as people who didn’t vote for either candidate.

      That’s their point though - somebody voting for trump is clearly not a rational actor, while those that didn’t vote at all would be easier to convince.

        If you think they’re not rational, then you’ll have to appeal to those who you think aren’t rational. If you want to win the election that is.

          Honestly, I believe most people overestimate intellectual and conscious rationality. Among themselves and others. The rationalizing is usually there afterwards. To justify current emotions, actions and circumstances.

          Self preservation, since one can’t control much anyways. And one needs a somewhat coherent world view.
