8 years of a black man that people blamed for literally everything, this was some kind of inevitable backlash. The angry white Christians have declared war, regardless of the cost. I only hope the cost isn't too high.
You don't think it could have a little to do with the Democrats rigging the primary to ensure their nominee was one of the most disliked establishment politicians of all time?
Yes, fear and hate played a part in this election, but that's pandering to the Republican base. I'll remind any Democrat that thinks they lost simply because of racist stupidity that you don't get elected president without the independent swing-voters.
