I thought that racism played a hand here but I don't think it has anything to do with it. County after county in states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, we're finding tens of thousands of white people who voted for Barack yet rejected Hillary. Think about that--they voted for the black candidate and rejected the white one. White working class voters were actually an instrumental part of the Obama coalition despite media inferences that it was just black folks and Latinos.

This isn't about race or Obama--even in the exit polls his approval rating is well above 50%. This was about Hillary Clinton. You couldn't find a better representative of everything Americans loathe about Washington politics. How could Queen NAFTA convince the forgotten man that she'd change Washington to benefit him after being there for 30 years? These voters wanted change, skin color be damned. Trump is the change agent. If Trump was black, he still would've whooped Hillary's white ass.

Bernie Sanders was clearly the better candidate for the job, and that still would be the case if he was a black man.

They voted for Obama because they thought he was the "change" candidate

Also because he was likeable.

People. Do. Not. Like. Hillary. Clinton.

Also, if you vote for a racist white man YOU ARE CO-SIGNING HIS RACISM.

You motherfukkers will not slide on that point. Ever.

This race card non-sense is making you guys look like sore losers.

Generation Z is setting here looking at all of us, and they are turning out to be the most socially conservative group since the WW2 generation.

This authoritarian stance on identity politics and free speech censorship is creating a huge rebellion in the new youth.

You guys are creating something very toxic.

White people don't care about racism so they voted for Trump instead of calling him out for it. This country was built on white privilege, as long as he doesn't call them out they'll rock with him.
The only time Trump stumbled with his base is when he was talking about sexual assaulting their woman.

The bolded is dumb af. Thats the same thing as saying if you vote for a corrupt corporatist that sells out her own people to foreign interests that you are co-signing that sell out.

Get over that shyt. There are so many people that reject his racism but respect his underlying message. Its 2016. Race relations in the past 20 years have been best under a Republican leader (Bush) . Let that sink in. Bill had the LA race riots. Barry has BLM. Bush had the whole country united against OBL.

I agree with a lot of what you said. Still there is a large racist contingency who also saw trump as their representation.

I think the take away is that the democrats myopic categoration of the electorate allowed them to get hit in a blind spot. There are some people who had legit gripes but were dismissed or lumped in the with the alt right shyt bags. These alt right people are still a problem and I hate how this emboldens those fukks but it's more nuanced than what democrats have told themselves.
