Trump won the white working-man vote..

You're ignoring the fact their interpretation of his campaign might not be the racist one you portray.

If someone voted for Trump it's quite possible they didn't believe it was a 'racist campaign', despite whether it was or wasn't. To tarnish every voter a racist and ignore this is just irresponsible. It makes you no better than the wilfully ignorant racists you're trying to call Trump supporters.

I'll agree with you in principle that they aren't ALL racist.  Is it possible to be "somewhat" or "a little" racist vs full blown white supremacist?  I'd throw my parents in the "little bit" category if that's even possible.  They would never say anything overt in public or call a black person the N word, but behind closed doors they let their guard down a little.

My biggest issue with Republicans right now is their apparent love fest for the Donald.  I can totally understand if they held their noses and cast a vote for Trump because they hated Hillary so much.  If most of them would come out with the opinion of, "We got you elected to stop Hillary, now knock off the bullshit and do your job".  But no..  They trotted out 18 candidates for president and let the dullest lightbulbs in the drawer pick their candidate, and now he's the greatest thing ever.

This forum would have one tenth the post had they actually elected a decent human like Jeb Bush.  There would be no protest.  Republicans are so stupid.

Trump got the authoritarian vote. He's a strong man who offers simple solutions to complex problems and promises what the people he wants to vote for him need to hear, whether it's bringing obsolete jobs back or that it's okay to be afraid of Muslim immigrants. About 20% of Americans skew authoritarian on polls, and they're not just Republicans. When we find out the percentage of Democrats who actually voted for Trump, they'll likely mostly be drawn from the authoritarian end of the Democrat pool.

The Senate must be turned blue in 2018. Trump and/or Pence must not get another term. Democrats must not blow this.
