I wonder why working class PoC and immigrants mostly went for Hillary and not Trump? Hmmmm what's one major factor that would appeal to white working class people but not them….hmmmm gee we better write 15 thinkpieces to figure it out!

I'm not saying they're the only reason but to pretend it played no part and setting it aside to focus on "working class frustrations" is ignoring almost the entirety of his campaign.

Lol if you think I'm engaging with someone with the username "avclubhomos"

So it's only been a week and we're already re-writing the entire Trump campaign as some great working class uprising and not the endless parade of racism and sexism that it was, despite the fact that he chose a white supremicist for his cabinet and have people close to him talking about interment camps.

Saying liberals disenchanted with Bush stayed home after '04 seems like a pretty false conclusion, given that they took control of the House and Senate two years later, then easily swept the next two presidential elections. And I'd say a lot of that was thanks to the rising anger with Bush and his policies and…

He literally started his campaign on the basis that Mexicans were rapists. It was August 2015 when brands (NBC included!) started dropping him based off of those comments. And he consistently led the polls from the moment he announced his campaign and basically never dropped out of first place. Anyone who was still…

I've seen that a lot, but I always thought Kate's Hillary was always pretty fun and lovable. They made fun of her flaws for sure, but they still painted her as a sympathetic figure (unlike say, Baldwin's Trump.)

I don't agree with that part. I thought McKinnon's Hillary was actually pretty lovably weird, much moreso than Baldwin's straight-up horrifying Trump takedown.

I liked it. I'm not ready to laugh over this and I'm certainly not ready to see or hear even an impersonation of Trump's face again, so I thought this was a perfect way to address it.

I would agree with you, maybe, if some normal Republican had won, like Kasich or Romney or something. But "giving Trump a chance" helps normalize the fact that we elected an openly racist rapist to be our president. And that should never, ever be normalized.

Well, uh, damn at that SNL cold open.

To me 30 Rock is one of the most consistent long-running sitcoms. Season 2 is the show's all-timer season, but they're all pretty strong, and the final season is one of the best final seasons of a sitcom ever IMO.

I waver back and forth. It's really hard to predict what would have happened because literally every poll was wrong as there was a giant silent majority of Trump supporters. Every poll showed Bernie would've beat Trump by a significantly higher margin than Clinton was supposed to. But every poll also said Clinton…

Yep, the millionaire businessman with a cabinet full of the ultra-right and corporate shills has the working class in mind.

The amount of anti-PoC/anti-LGBT attacks I'm reading about on social media are fucking astounding and it's only day one. It's only day one! I'm just so scared.

Walking around NYC today was eerie and weird and surreal. It was so quiet. Everyone looked devastated. I don't think I saw anyone smile. There were no lines anywhere. I got a seat on the subway at rush hour. There was barely even any car noise by NYC standards. Trump's America already feels so fucking different.

What the fuck just happened?????

So now even fighting for your own rights as a disadvantaged retail worker makes you a "SJW?".
