Non-elites, whoever they are, are just as likely to be dismissive of views they don't share. You're describe the effects of elitist hatred, not the cause.

You can't talk down to or ignore a person without creating deep responsive hatred. We've done that to roughly half the country. And we're only making it worse calling them all bigots and racists.

I don't know who your "we" is, but I prefer not to talk down to or ignore people, and I have met plenty of people in flyover country who talk down or ignore me, and yet I don't hate them.
Also, there are many bigots and racists out there.

Yes, Gallup showed a lot of Trump voters aren't voting solely because they're economically screwed. But other polls have shown a different picture.

Uh, false. Plenty of blacks and Hispanics, for example, have been economically screwed and yet they aren't Trump voters. The word "solely" is doing a lot of work in what you just said.
