More than five million voters supported Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016

Who are they?  Not racists, obviously (hint:  racists don't vote for Black people for President).   Heavily union members, who felt economically vulnerable, and were less supportive of affirmative action than those who voted Democratic in both 2012 and 2016, but more supportive of it than those who voted Republican in both those elections.
