It was the centrist republican lite wing of the democrats that came with the condescension.

And your retarded if you voted for Clinton! What completely blows my mind is that people would actually trust an individual who is 1.) a known liar, 2.) receives money from known terrorists, and 3.) has for decades been tied to more than a few murders. In the end, I didn’t vote for Trump, I voted against Hillary.

watch and learn lib, watch and learn... its going to be rough un-doing all the Obama mistakes but watch and learn baby. /this is too entertaining.

I blame Baeoncey

Bullshit. Again, as someone else pointed out, some of those states were blue last election. Your take, along with many here, is lazy, head-in-the-sand, bullshit. But that’s not too surprising coming the asinine echo chamber that is the former Gawker network.

And if Hillary had won the electoral college and Trump had won the popular vote, you’d say “working as designed”. The elctoral college isn’t without its faults, but don’t pretend like you’re not butthurt because your person didn’t win out. She needed to do better than Trump. She failed. Pick better next time.

i think you have to consider the possibility that a media that overwhelmingly explains Trump support via racism tends to find and report evidence that supports their initial point of view and ignore evidence that doesnt

Fuck YOU, loser.

Ugh. Clearly the author of this piece has learned nothing. People are disaffected, and pissed off, and calling them racist, sexist, etc over and over again DOES NOT FUCKING HELP. Seriously - how do you not see this yet?

“Apparently you shouldn’t alienate one of the biggest voting blocks in the country.”

We are just deplorables and today the deplorables have spoken!

Rust belt whites didn’t support him any more than Romney...she got 6 million less votes than 2012 Obama...that’s why she lost.

This we can agree on. A lot of my liberal friends and family stated the same thing. Liberals were very arrogant and thought that there was no way hell that Trump would win. Some were even defiantly stating that Hillary had this election in the bag.

You’re the lamest person in your family most likely, politics is for fucking butt hole diggers.

Ding, ding, we have a winner. Unfortunately it will fly right over the enlightened gawker journalists’s heads.

The “enlightened” left continually misses what a large swath of America cares about. This is exactly how the DNC and every large media organization never predicted this election. They simply don’t understand, or want to understand, middle america.

Totally agree. I think Liberals need to take a long look in the mirror and think about one thing, arrogance. They have been so cocky and arrogant about this election cycle or the last two or three. It jumped up and bit them in the ass in a huge way last night.

They have been condescended to, called racist and sexist for the last 8 years. Weird they didn’t fall in line with the liberals.

I’d add that anytime they were spoke to, they were called racist, sexist, xenophbic, uneducated bigots. Apparently you shouldn’t alienate one of the biggest voting blocks in the country.

Unfortunately, that’s not a high bar!
