Your side lost the once loyal blue collar working class democrat voters in states that hadn't voted Republican in over thirty years. These were the same voters who elected Barack Obama to two terms in office. What hatreds did they have then when they were loyal democrats? Hillary Clinton didn't step one foot in Wisconsin during her campaign. Your side dismissed those voters in the rust belt and coal coal states. If the left thinks they can continue demonizing and maligning voters as nazis, racists, and bigots and win back the White House, good luck. We'll see eight years of Donald Trump. Continue to delude yourselves.
It's not my side and douchebags switch sides all the time. For example, just because people voted for Dems before that doesn't mean that they couldn't also be conned by a pathological liar who spoke to their fears. You are deluding yourself if you think that a bunch of democrat voters couldn't also be scumbags voting in their own interests(union support for example).
The issue is not that they were democrats before, it's the shitty candidate they voted for this time.
I actually think the ratio of shitty people who are liberal or conservative is about the same so you're argument that they must have been good people before because they were Democrats is a fail. That's the part that you and liberals share in common.
BTW, no one in this discussion mentioned anything about Nazis, racists or bigots. This is a discussion about Trumps extremely fragile ego and if it could be pathological (which it definitely seems to be) You've not even attempted to explain the current bout of really weird behavior discussed in this thread and instead decided to blindly defend "your side". You should really try and leave your biases behind and really look at Trump without the blinders on.
You shouldn't give him or any politician a free pass.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
