That is the actual canard: racism and sexism, and the social justice warrior takeover of the democratic party that calls everything and anything they disagree with "racist" or "sexist". A significant portion of the population are fed up with it. We've seen the same sentiment expressed at RIU. If you call everything racist, eventually the impact is lost on things that actually are racist. Eventually people just hear the racist criticism and chalk it up to liberal bias or media manipulation or whatever.
Make no mistake about it, the way the SJW culture of the left acts in this country played a big part of Trumps win.
"Economic anxiety" has been and continues to be a real threat for tens of millions of Americans for at least about a decade now, I think for the DNC and Clinton to underestimate that fact shows you how entitled they believed they were. Did you hear that story about the Clinton campaign toasting champagne early on election day?
This campaign will go down in history in political science books
Mostly agree with what you said except this idea that racism and sexism is somehow acceptable because people are "fed up" of doing otherwise. I mean, come on man, the dark haired, brown man who is told to go back to where he came from is a human being and deserves respect. Same with the woman who is groped in the work place. SJW, my ass. That label is intended to silence people from objecting to that behavior. Don't think anybody should be silenced by that tawdry label.
Where I agree; It is safe to say that Trump's main support and votes came from white vote and voters that were 40 and older. This is a major political voting block Democrats did not interest or show much interest in. Yes, this very large group is economically anxious. Most have already peaked in wages and are on the down side for all the reasons that Trump and Bernie talked about. Clinton's strategy "better together" seemed to me to be one of unifying all the other groups against this bloc. She should have known better. Her husband won on the slogan: it's the economy stupid. I don't know why but her team didn't seem to think that mattered this time.
In any case, goodbye Hillary. I'm really going to dislike this Trump administration but I'm glad that I won't hear any more "scandals" where you or your support team skirted or broke yet another rule and made yourself look bad.
