On the other hand, this sort of post, as a representative of the sentiment commonly held among progressives and broadcast nationally in both media commentary and the plots to TV shows and movies, is a large part of why many people voted Trump.

When a party decides to ignore, mock, or outright vilify a large chunk of the population for ~30 years, it shouldn't surprise you that they'll eventually turn to someone else who shows them respect. It's actually quite rational; you vote for someone who you think will represent your interests. When someone says "we despise you and your entire way of life, just go and die," that person is not likely to represent your interests. If you tell coal miners you're going to put them out of work, they will vote against you.

It turns out that the Dems got high off their own supply of "changing demographics ensure we will win everything forever" and nominated a notoriously corrupt party insider whose biggest fanbase was people who have seen "Hamilton" live more than once, only to find that even if the "permanent majority" theory might be true in the long run they badly miscalculated the timeline.

It cannot be overstated just how much the national Democratic party has been kicking the ball into their own goal this election cycle.

I'm from those areas, its not anecdotal. They are desperate and raised in abusive environments. Not all are incapable of critical thinking, but most are beyond it and have given up.

Sorry family, we're going to be funding local civil engineering projects rather than just hand our money to armed Jihadi's the next few years. I'm sure we'll pull through.

Liberalism is a mental disorder that causes the afflicted to believe anyone that disagrees with them is a conservative.

My extended family is incapable of not being jackasses of the highest magnitude, and in fact Facebook fights have already erupted over a cousin posting literal white nationalist rhetoric about immigration being a tool to dilute the white man's power in America. The hilarious thing is the dumb fucker is half Ecuadorian who would not pass the paper bag test.

So another thing to thankful for on Thanksgiving I guess: I'm not going anywhere near that shitfest this year.

My family are Russian immigrants and they love love love Donald Trump, all Russian's do and I have no idea why. For the past 6 months my mom has only referred to Hillary Clinton as Crooked Hillary. We're not having Thanksgiving with them this year, but my very liberal "coastal elites" sister and her husband are and they are going to get an earful.
