I think you are mistaken there: single-issue tax and supreme court voters are not a very big part of Trump's support base.

This piece in Cracked managed to explain a lot of the red state support with genuine understanding. The bottom line is, people lash out when they don't have a voice.

(I'm sorry the headline is just as stupid as all Cracked headlines are. The article is not.)

Yeah, I read some of that the other day. I continue to think that my single issue voters together are a larger block than the people in that article. The article doesn't have any more statistics than I do.
