That's a very one dimensional analysis. The racists always vote for the conservative republican, that's a given.

If you're not willing to consider the idea that there may be more blame to go around than just that placed on the racists who voted for him, you will never understand why the deplorables won in 16.

@RoboGraham blame? You wanna blame people, who didn't vote for trump, because trump was elected? So I guess if we want trump gone. Ummmm. We should vote for him? You're living in : Bizarro world... ...

I'm not voting for Trump yet there's plenty of blame coming my way for helping Trump. All those people who didn't vote for Trump and did vote for Jill Stein got plenty of blame. How do you explain that?

There's plenty of blame on the democrats for Trump's win. The establishment shut down a very popular candidate in favor of a very powerful and well connected candidate who was much despised. The Clinton campaign intentionally elevated Trump in the republican primary because they believed he was a joke who couldn't possibly win. They pressured their media outlets to cover Trump relentlessly and to portray him as the star of the primary. They encouraged people in open primary states to vote in the republican primary for Trump to aid him in winning the republican nomination.

Clinton also neglected to campaign in the rust belt states, naively assuming they would of course go blue, and the result was the loss of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In addition, she latched onto neoliberal policy which caused the economic decline of those areas and has harmed the working class for decades. This allowed Trump to swoop in and dazzle struggling working class people with his false promises of bringing back the jobs and increasing manufacturing and mining productivity. Clinton promised those people nothing but more of the same policies which had left them behind and impoverished.

Then there's the smug attitude of liberals which is the subject of this post by @Williamcharles. The elitist belittling and teasing of conservatives, though funny and entertaining, turns many traditionalist voters away from the democrats.

You are living in a low information world. You seriously only have a surface level understanding of American politics. I encourage you to dig deeper and open up your mind.

"...did vote for Jill Stein got plenty of blame. How do you explain that?"

Seriously.. They did it to you so you do it to them? Grow up... Be an adult.. I can't explain nonsense...

And just because I disagree doesn't mean

I'm ".. living in a low information world. You seriously only have a surface level understanding of American politics. I encourage you to dig deeper and open up your mind."

You lack logical thinking skills...

"You wanna blame people, who didn't vote for trump, because trump was elected?" You asked the question and I told you how lots of people who didn't vote for Trump get the blame. I'd like to put the blame on the non-Trump voters who actually deserve blame. They didn't reflect on what happened last time, they haven't learned from their mistakes and they are running the same failed strategy again. This is worrying. Those who are in need of growing up are the people who are unwilling to consider this.

"And just because I disagree doesn't mean..." Correct. You have a surface level understanding of politics, not because you disagree with me, but because you have consistently proven yourself to have very little information, very little of anything substantive to add to any discussion, and when people attempt to inform you of anything deeper than your surface level understanding, it goes right over your head. I have political discussions with all sorts of people I disagree with and nearly all of them have a deeper understanding than you do. Even republicans are often able to show that they are better informed than you are.

Logical thinking skills? You don't recognize them when they are right in your face because you have none yourself.
