President-elect Donald Trump realized early in his campaign that U.S. IT workers were angry over training foreign visa-holding replacements. He knew this anger was volcanic.
Trump is the first major U.S. presidential candidate in this race -- or any previous presidential race -- to focus on the use of the H-1B visa to displace IT workers. He asked former Disney IT employees, upset over having to train foreign replacements, to speak at his rallies.
"The fact is that Americans are losing their jobs to foreigners," said Dena Moore, a former Disney IT worker at a Trump rally in Alabama in February. "I believe Mr. Trump is for Americans first."
Yes, US nerds were angry about training H-1B replacements, but how much could they have helped put him over the top?

I object to bring called cis. It is a weird fucking term. How about "normal". That's probably too honest for you, but it's correct. Look up the definition.

Yeah, I was using that term ironically. But I only find it annoying when someone uses it as an insult, yet is offended when someone uses gay as an insult.
But thank you for reiterating that right wing people are as easily triggered as the left.
