HARD TO ADMIT, BUT THIS IS WHY THE ELECTION & COUNTRY ARE HERE

My friend writes about what happened? Why did Trump win? What's going on? What did Democrats miss?

".....I figured the whole election thing out long ago. I tried to tell everyone on your thread, repeatedly, why she couldn't win. I hate that I was right, but I knew it was going to happen. I don't live in the bubble. Sorry it's hit you so hard, but the handwriting was on the wall. Bernie Sanders won Michigan. Wisconsin, and Ohio. What states cost Clinton the election? Listen, Liberal- the book no one read- explained it all. I'm watching Anthony Bourdain. I love him. The cat and I are basking in front of the fire. My world will come crashing down thanks to liberals who believed not being homophobic or racist was enough to make them good people. Better people than the Trumpsters. They didn't factor in the white working class. The Limousine Liberals believed education and hard work was all you need to be successful. If you aren't successful, you're just not fucking optimistic enough, or studying enough, or smiling enough. They missed it. Some people don't have opportunities no matter how hard they try. Some people- 50% of the population- have IQs lower than 100. Some communities offer no opportunities. Democrats don't fucking get it. That's why they lost. NAFTA. Elitism. Faux progressivism. Karle. Connie. All those pseudo intellectuals who don't know shit. Stephen Michael Hodges. They're all the same. Sorry for the rant, but it annoys the shit out of me that people like that STILL don't get what happened. Obama did nothing for minority groups. He increased private prisons. He deported 3 million people. Of the jobs he created, 8.5 million required a college degree which most people can't afford. Only 80,000 new jobs didn't require a bachelors. How's that helping rust belt workers? I had to get married due to health insurance. It's the only way I could afford to send my kids to school. Now Michelle Rhee and Rick Scott will privatize public education and I'll lose my tenure and retirement. Couldn't get anyone to listen. Now we're all fucked. Oh well. Not everyone has been as fortunate as I. It was a good run. I made it 50 years living fairly well...."

".....My mother taught physically, emotionally, and cognitively handicapped children for 20 years. 1000s of them. They can't do what I do or you do. Where are they now? Prison. Homeless. Dead. The Dems turned their backs on the most vulnerable. The ones who can't become Hillary Clintons. They sold out to Wall Street. They suck slightly less than the crazed Republicans, but they still sold their souls. That's what happened. Obamacare should have been single payer Medicare for all. Instead it increased insurance patrons by 20 million. Good turnover for the corporations and drug companies. Liberals missed that windfall too. Just like Bush 43's Prescription Drug Act...."
