Trump will do literally nothing to bring those jobs here, and in fact will almost certainly protect companies shipping more jobs overseas. So great job, dumbass.

I'm skeptical that there are tons of Obama voters that went Trump especially when he didn't get Romney level of popular support. It seems more likely that Obama voters in those districts just didn't show up while the Trump guys did. It's more of the absurd "how can this country be racists, we elected Obama TWICE" said by people that voted for McCaine and Romney.

They didn't. Eight million people stayed home.

That you voted for mass execution of minorities in the streets by police officers, oppression of LGBT people, mass pumping of CO2 into the atmosphere, huge tax breaks to megacorps, and fascism, and somehow after that don't hate yourself.

So while the climate and environment are clearly toast, we're headed to massive debt and an even worse recession, Russia conquering Europe and China conquering SE Asia, and voting rights burned, how would they go about challenging Roe v Wade (aside from TRAP laws) and Obergfell? Obviously they will try anything and everything, but I don't immediately see a clear way a case that challenges them could come up from the lower courts.

Well, if we join hands with Russia and China, we might get that one world government that the racists that voted against ironically enough.

Trump has stated that he wants to get rid of the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Republican Party is generally on board with both of these things.

How can you claim to understand the impacts of climate change and then ignore them in the politicians you pick?

You can't just pretend that because you only voted for some litmus test that you didn't endorse the candidate with these other reprehensible and dire policies.

Why is trade policy more important than the impacts of climate change?

This right here is the proof that it wasn't the uneducated hicks out there that support racism and sexism, it was voters up and down the socioeconomic and educational spectrum.

They don't care about any of the hypocrisy of their positions. You're not telling them anything about Trump and Pence they didn't already know.

It was straight up FYGM, and whether that was motivated by racism, sexism, etc, is your guess.

But it was definitely motivated by being a deplorable bastard.
