She says, “Trump won far more votes than the deeply religious Ted Cruz, an evangelical pastor’s son.” Continuing with the same strategy, Hochschild moves on to George Lakoff's idea that politics is seen as a metaphor of the family type one grows up in, and maybe Trump supporters fall into this sub-conscious…
