Surprises me how the left thought they could simply write off parts of the electorate and even be insulting to them and be left wondering why they lose an election.
Blame the Democratic Party. They rigged the nomination process against the truly popular candidate - now they reap what they have sown. Hopefully, in the coming months, we can watch them implode and be replaced by something that is actually democratic.
@I'm not holding my breath. The Democrats are going to play identity politics for a couple of years and ignore the basic economic issues that many people have: no matter their gender, skin color or religion
The worst has happened: how are they going to terrorize us into supporting/voting for another shitty candidate put forward by a shitty organization ever again. Nope, done.
Oh, for heaven's sake. Even if Trump is Mugabe, America is not Zimbabwe. America has 200+ years of democratic norms and institutions behind it.
OTOH, urban condescension to rural voters, and the assumption we know what they should want without ever engaging them in a conversation, is apparently universal.
