I've said it before, I'll say it again, because it needs it.
This squadron of elite-liberal, upper-middle-class identitarian wank baskets is exactly why The Donald won. Because, in the words of Clinton I, "it's the economy, stupid." You can be woke or fierce or progressive in social issues as much as you want but when you are seen to be behind massive outsourcing of jobs to abroad, bad trade deals, and as the preferred candidate of wealthy bankers, all the virtue signalling about sexism, racism, transphobia, etc. in the world won't save you.
People are angry because the political establishment of which Hillary Clinton is a part is completely out of touch with reality. It's only really in touch with a few identity groups who it's pandered to over the past 8 years. People are angry because they see her presidency as a potential continuation of what can easily be cast as the failed policies of the Obama years. Donald Trump was the only fresh thing on the menu.
This wasn't The Donald's election to win. It was Hillary's election to lose. And she lost it by failing to take her husband's own advice - "it's the economy, stupid."
I am still aghast at how the reaction of people who despise and hate Trump's policies and attitudes is just to curl up into a ball and cry about it.
