a comprehensive review of economic anxiety in the rust belt

[st0wandgrow]

clinton's vote total as of now: 64,654,445 (there are still millions of votes left to count)

obama's 2012 vote total: 65,446,032

the data is pretty clear on what happened. uneducated, poor, rural, white people voted in droves and it was just barely enough to tip the scales in a few states.

Right, but uneducated white folks typically vote Republican anyhow (which I find fucking hilarious). So the question is, did they show up in larger numbers than usual this year, and if so, why? Was it an economic anxiety thing, or was it the racial element?

I don't deny that a large percentage of Trump supporters are biggots, I'm just not sold yet on that being the deciding factor.

Maybe white people are less likely to be illegal aliens?

Bullshit.
White people are illegals. Have been ever since they stole the land

 

[st0wandgrow]

They're more likely to vote against their own economic interests, which is mind boggling.

in an imaginary world where michigan's UP is part of wisconsin, and florida's pahandle is part of alabama, hillary won.

There are more European illegals here than you think. I have known dozens.

 

[UncleBuck]

the biggest swings towards hillary were TX/GA/AZ.

if those are swing states now, then so are MI/PA/WI, along with MN/ME/NC/NH.

but we own VA/CO/NV now.

it's gonna be an interesting map going forwards. i just hope dems don't go under 40 senate seats in 2018.

again, the hillary counties are way more productive, honest areas than the trump counties.

hillary won 472 counties that are worth 64% of GDP.

trumpler won 2600+ counties, worth only 36% of GDP.

you're welcome for the welfare, trumptards.

This is why the Bernie Babies are annoying me so much, the people who voted for Trump wouldn't have voted in their own interest anyway.

Bernie Babies are going to be the ones who feel the Trump pain. They gained not a damn thing by not voting Clinton. They say it was not enough, now they won't get anything. Stupid logic they used

It was the 7M that stayed home.

That is 1/3 of the electorate and a pretty strong message.

They think SCorp = CCorp (pay no taxes; no rules regs) and the Republipukes have them convinced..god, country..all thingy's white..good.

Anything else, slightly different not like YOU = bad.

bernard during dem primary: SECRETARY CLINTON, $15 AN HOUR IS NOT ENOUGH!

It appears to be a case of what Iv coined as 'T-rump hurt', a phenomenon currently sweeping the nation

Yeah well maybe you are right. A lot of people are butt hurt. In fact a majority are butt hurt while a smug minority voted for Trump.
