I think you are very close to pinning down what happened here. This was swung by “protest” votes in response to excessive and at times meritless accusations of bigotry. White non-voters became white protest voters.

Don’t worry, Hillary. In the morning, this mess will be waiting for you and everyone else. But hey, in four years maybe it can be someone else’s turn, eh? Maybe take the damn hint this time?

This is all of our faults. We -and I include myself here - are so condescending it’s no wonder we lost undecided voters. Everyone who wasn’t sure they wanted to vote for Hillary, I called racist/stupid/sexist. Maybe they were, but I didn’t know. I had no real reason to say that, you can vote for Trump and not be…

It’s your LGBTQ, black, latino, and muslim friends fault for not voting.

You have no basis to put the LGBTQ community on your list as there has been no evidence of bias against those communities by Trump

Dear god man. Get a hold of yourself. Throw some cold water on your face. Wake up in the morning, grab some coffee and take on the day like you always have. This sad sack bullshit is just as old as Trump’s message. She obviously wasn’t enough cus this shit is a landslide. America has spoken. Just press on dude. It’s…

Why the fuck am I up later than her on Election Night?

Of what? The boogeyman is not real!

So dramatic.

Good God! You are one pathetic individual. Get a grip and realize no progress has been lost, not one person deported ( unless by Obama), or any of these other imaginative scenarios your mind has triggered. Jesus

Shut the fuck up.

Such courage.

I did vote early, its just my shift ends a 6, voting opened at 7, and ive got a decent drive since i moved recently.

Well, to be fair, she also pretty much ignored their current concerns and acted entitled to their support, but...we are where we are.

I’m sure you realize that there are a million reasons for this. I don’t think pointing fingers is going to help. We need to focus on protecting ourselves and each other now. I’m With...All Potential Victims of Trump Enthusiasts.

Just stop. Hillary abandoned a huge part of her base who were concerned over economic issues. Tonight they abandoned her. She lost PA/Ohio/Mich/Wisc not over social issues but because they’ve been left behind in this recovery. They were tarred as dumb racist idiots who were voting against their interests when they…

Van jones has given just some amazing, impassioned, and moving speeches this year. the shame comes in in that he not only had to make those speeches, but that it is a desperate plea to the fucking retards that they sit to his right

Are seriously blaming Black people for this? Honestly, Go fuck yourself. You and your silent majority, secretly racist white breathren are to blame for this. Amd again GO FUCK YOURSELF.

We live in an age where people spitefully shit on each other through the anonymity granted by the internet. An era where a person’s worst impulses can be acted out and they are almost never punished for it. Trump just plays their game openly. He’s the perfect leader for this age.

I fucking hate Trump, but he represents a dark populism that isn’t restricted to the United States. From the UKIP to Duerte, the political elite need to wake up & engage in some serious self-reflection.
