Instead, most threads discussing the Clinton loss describe a class of people who are relegated to corners of the country with inadequate education and dying industries. It's that combination which leads voters in states such as Wisconsin and Pennsylvania to ignore the hatred, the vitriol, the proven lack of business success, and the lack of government leadership in hopes of changing the status quo as it relates to them.

In summary: nearly 50% of voters chose to prioritize personal gain over human dignity.

(I voted for Clinton, but I consider myself solidly independent of any particular party.)

I have no interest in continuing the thread, though, so feel free to get in the last word.
