What you're seeing here from Democrats is just the flip-side of what rural Trump voters have been saying.

The non-college, rural Trump voters say they feel ignored, left out, and taken advantage of by "liberal elite" Democrats.  So they voted for Trump, because they think he'll help them by somehow throwing out foreign workers and bringing back blue-collar jobs.

But Clinton supporters don't see themselves as "liberal elites."  We see ourselves as hard-working people looking out for the working class, and hoping to shield them from the bad activities of corporations and the upper class.  We truly think Donald Trump is just snowing you with his promises, and he's really planning to work with the corporations and lobbyists to screw the working class even harder.  For many of us who have college degrees, and live in urban areas with steady jobs, we are actually voting against our own economic self-interest by voting Democrat, because it probably raises our taxes to help protect the struggling rural non-college population.

We both see the same problems in America.  Each party thinks it's the one that's really trying to help, and that the other party's solutions will make the problem worse.  You think you're helping, and we think we're helping.

But when we Democrats see all the [i]exact same people we're trying to help[/i] vote Trump, and when we hear them sneering and blaming us for their problem, it's frustrating.  So you shouldn't be surprised if many of us are saying "[i]Screw it. They don't want our help anyway.  So let's just help ourselves and watch how badly those working class voters get screwed under Trump's policies.  They can choke on the problems they created for themselves[/i]."

For me, it kind of feels like I tried to help my younger sibling deal with a substance abuse problem, by helping him look for a job, buying him food, and letting him sleep on my couch.  And then I woke up on Wednesday morning, and discovered he's trashed all my stuff and set my apartment on fire.  So I'm not feeling much love for helping him anymore.[/quote]

God, you guys are condescending. Get off your high horse. No wonder your hypothetical younger sibling can't stand you. [/quote]
