    Most of Trump's voters have been doing pretty well economically, at least the voters in the primary. The median income for Trump primary voters is $72,000.

    From the studies I've seen, most people who voted for Trump, voted for him for other reasons.

    Not overlooking. Hillary won the popular vote so that means the MAJORITY of American preferred her over Trump. She lost because of the dated 18 century Electoral College system. If her platform was the same as Obama she would still lose because:

Her campaign chose not to focus on the economy, and instead on sexism and racism. It's a tough lesson to learn, but I guess money beats white guilt. Maybe the Democrats will work on different platforms to bring the working class vote back.

    The shitstorm he can cause is entirely dependent on how many people on the senate are willing to back him, as far as terrifying shit like revoking human rights, nuclear weapons, trade, foreign policy...

    What I'M terrified of are his supporters. Hate crimes are going to sky rocket and we must be vigilant. People are going to die. We just validated 50 million white supremacists, and if you think that is exaggeration/me being dramatic, check yourself. Already reading personal accounts of women getting their hijab ripped off, violence, open hate speech.

    What I've learned is I am still naive to how strong the pull for white supremacy is. Please donate to anti hate groups, vote in the midterms, and most importantly, SPEAK OUT. Every time you're afraid of being a buzz kill or straining a friendship, relationship, etc. FUCK IT. Ruin thanksgiving dinner. Who cares? Do not be silent when you hear bigotry. We got here in good part due to white silence.

    I missed the registration deadline and its eating me up inside. I didn't think there was any way they would make the cut off an entire month before the actual Election Day. I also didn't think he had a shot in hell. Stupid, stupid me. My mom was going to sit it out but I convinced her to put her vote in for me.

    Also, when a Poc shares their experiences: can we please fucking believe them now? Is this enough evidence??

    I'm hurt. I'm ashamed, and I'm hurting.

    one major factor (among many) that I find extremely worrying is the fact that Donald is clearly personality disordered. at the very least I believe he is a narcissist. while i'm sure some would argue even worse down the spectrum. these individuals are extremely destructive & hate filled. they also will usually sink the ship with them. we have a rough four years ahead of us. if he even makes it that far.

    I'm so surprised. I never thought Donald Trump had a real chance of being elected.

    All we can do is accept it and give him the benefit of the doubt. Life goes on...

    It does look like she will win the popular vote by a proverbial hair. But the electoral college system still exists for a reason, which is to give the populations of very small states a voice in the general election. In its absence, a handful of states with large populations or even a handful of the largest cities would be able to dictate policy for the entire country. Each state has its own identity and culture and the system ensures that each one has at least a small voice, though the big states still get the lion's share of the electoral college votes. Hillary only took 20 states plus DC, which means that a majority of the population in 30 states voted against her.

    Yes, but simply voting for a racist doesn't make you a white supremacist. He got 53 million votes, and 50 million of those voters are white supremacists? Comparing the 2012 and 2016 ballots in the deciding states (PA, MI, WI), ~690k more people voted Obama than Clinton, while the total votes cast in these three states remained about the same (~13.4 million in 2012, ~13.6 million in 2016). It means people changed support for their party, and it's unlikely that within four years they suddenly became white supremacists. It's not logical to write off these particular voters' displeasure with the last eight years as racism. You really can't imagine a voter putting aside offensive comments for their projection of a better future in other aspects?
