Alex's dad made this comment:"The reason Alex likes Trump is because Trump shows power, and Alex is about power because he was so impotent as a child.  There is something powerful about Trump and that appeals to Alex.  When he pictures [his future], he pictures himself like Donald Trump."  Alex seemed to concur with his father's assessment. "I don't focus on wealth; I focus on power," he specified.   He then went on to quote Frank Underwood, the fictional villain/protagonist from Netflix' House of Cards, "A fool goes after money, but someone who really seeks to control goes after power."  

The "power vote."  That is the category Alex and so many other Trump voters fit into.  They feel that our country has become weak and needs power.
