Trump won because of liberal smugness

Please read the news today. Note why Trump won: uneducated whites. The data being reported today is that whites without college degrees shifted right...bigly. Whites with college degrees stayed or even shifted left.

That's not smugness...that's just a fact.

If you are proud to be on the same side as the uneducated masses, then congratulations...


I dispute this. The uneducated whites might have been a very solid voting block this time around, but there are not enough of them to swing an election. Their votes should have been easily offset by the "women's vote." But HRC just didn't get that vote in big enough numbers - That's what did her in. Women are the largest single voting block, and they didn't turn out for her at the rate many expected.

A different woman probably would have won.


I completely agree. I'm mostly conservative, but if a middle-leaning, trustworthy Democrat option had been presented I definitely would have considered voting for that person.

Maybe not better, but definitely smarter. Look who the hell you just elected. Just because there are more of you, doesn't make you right.

He got much higher percentages of women, minorities, and the college educated than the media assumed. He did not win simply due to uneducated whites.


When Dems win, you never hear anything about "uneducated minorities" propelling them to victory. Just about how much smarter the Dems are than everyone else. And I'm a Dem! Dems are not here for the little people anymore. They're just as much about protecting the status quo as anyone else.

Yes. We chose not to elect a criminal and life-long supporter of a serial rapist. How foolish we are. How simple.

The rest of the world is lamenting the downfall of the west. Yep. That's how BBC put it...the downfall of the west.



Who cares how the BBC puts it? They survive by taxing every single UK citizen (whether they watch the damn channel or not) not by necessarily producing good television.

BTW, they're British - overlords which we overthrew more than 200 years ago. They didn't even see Brexit coming, so... who cares?


"Who cares?"

That is precisely how I've explained the difference between dems and repubs to my young children.

Republicans are like a clueless but petulant child carelessly throwing sand willy nilly in the sandbox without thought or consideration as to the impact of his actions to those around him. Because, ya know, who cares!?!?

SMH.


Way to teach your kids to respect all sides.

Nope. Instead you elected an open racist who mocks disabled people and hates women. Bully for you!

I'll be laughing inside the whole time. Seeing that arrogance cut down just makes me gleeful inside.

BTW, I sure hope those obnoxious and toxic celebs that promised to move to Canada if Trump won are packing their bags. The sooner we're done of Lena Dunham and her shove-rocks-into-her-sisters-vajayjay ilk, the better!


So you're a smug fascist (and apparently misogynist who wants to shove rocks into womens' vaginas). Way to show those smug liberals! Bite your nose off to spite your face. Atta boy! And those liberals thought they could keep your racist demagogue candidate down - arrogant bastards! Who did they think they are?


No, it's that weirdo Lena Dunham that shoved rocks in her sister's genitalia.

And I voted for HRC.

You may feel differently after the markets open and what's left of your 401K or kids' college savings - what you've managed to scrimp and save - is obliterated. The world markets know what a disaster this is for the US.


Many of the "deplorables" either have no 401k -- and hence no stake in the system -- or have savings of under $100k. Isn't the median 401k something like 25k?

Frankly, they are willing to take the risk.

And -- let's face it -- waiting for demographics to kick in ANY DAY NOW and have yuppies + non-whites be the majority is not exactly a winning strategy for Democrats. Or, the thousands of state legislature seats and dozens of Congressional/governorships lost since 2008 might indicate something. Come on, did the American people suddenly turn that much more racist?

Eventually, Democrats are going to have to come up with some means of appealing to non-yuppie White people.

Yep. If a Dem can't get blue-collar, union supporters to vote for her, something is seriously wrong.

You don't get to "dispute" facts.

So, if Clinton won would you be saying that she won because of "uneducated Blacks"?

Not the PP, but clearly....blacks didn't turn out for her the way they did for Obama (because he's black), and she knew she needed them. That's why we saw the disgustingly transparent attempts at pandering. Didn't work.

Nothing.

This is a failure of monumental proportions of our education system, which has not been able to educate people to read and think critically, and distinguish truth from lies.


We've already gotten what we want, my dear. What we wanted was to put liberals in their place!!!!!
