One things for sure....it wasn't all of the "uneducated white people" that run up $20 trillion in debt. All of those "educated" public servants have redistributed the wealth of America to some place besides American's pockets.

Or maybe it's as simple as Obama and Hillary failing miserably in their jobs and the people, of all colors and education levels, choosing a different path.

It's hilarious how they imagine every Trump voter as an ignorant redneck.

I have no idea of where you live, what you do, your education, or your life experiences. I would be willing to bet my next paycheck, though, that you're education is not better than mine, that you have never seen a fraction of the world or the country that I have, or that you actively try to understand people who have different outlooks. Before you let yourself be so dismissive of anyone who voted for a change, I suggest you make more effort to broaden your understanding and realize that life is a lot more complicated than the inbred intellectualism that was rejected last night.

Might want to look at this history of both parties and who truly was the champion of this

HINT: The democrats fought tooth and nail against ending slavery, the black vote and desegregation.

And alienate white people just for being white.
And alienate Christians just for being Christian.
And alienating rural people for not being as educated.
And alienate taxpayers for wanting to keep more of their income.
And alienate Sanders supporters by allowing Hillary to steal the primary, then calling them basement dwellers.
And alienate steel and auto workers for questioning trade deals that hurt them economically.
And alienating small business owners for being critical of Obamacare.
And alienate law abiding citizens for being frustrated with Democrat foot soldiers like BLM.
And alienate women who happen to support a non-female candidate.
And alienate Catholics by attempting to influence their church.
And alienate blue collar voters for voting in their own interest
And alienate people who've done nothing but worked hard for their living because they are employed in the "evil" coal or oil industry.


The progressive left's tactics are why people lied to the pollsters about supporting Trump. They were afraid to be branded racist/homophobic/xenophobic/deplorable. Those came from HILLARY CLINTON's mouth.

Progressives need to reflect on their gravitation towards hateful rhetoric and sometimes violent reactions to viewpoints unlike their own. Their lack of inclusiveness is why blue collar white voters broke for Trump.

Wow. This is a really good analysis of one of the main issues here. Not the only reason for Trump, but definitely part of why I voted for him

For me it was control the border, get our jobs back, give our industry some incentive and freedom from too much regulation, fair trade, and blocking unvetted Islamic refugees.

A college degree? I have two, in completely different fields. You are relatively uneducated.

You lived in Europe? So, how long did you live among all the other white people, and how different were the socioeconomic circumstances you regularly immersed yourself in? I've lived in two different countries in Asia, I pay the salary of a staff member for a shelter we work with in Cambodia that keeps young boys (5-15 yo) out of the sex trades, and have taught my boys how to deal with many different cultures and viewpoints. (And, by the way, the rest of the world is filled with far more blatant bigotry than you find here.)

Get out of your bubble.

You just said the base of Trump's voters were racist. You do realize the voters in PA, MI, and WI that elected Trump were the same voters that elected Obama. Bigotry is intolerance of someone who holds a different view that your own. You are being intolerant and dismissive of Trump voters by saying the base is racist. You are what you think you despise.
