I am always surprised by the stupid-ass garbage Democrats think they can prove with data when they don’t even understand what they are looking at.

No sociological examination of what tends to occur under conditions of economic anxiety, or what shifted those views. No comprehension of that you can’t use racism to both explain why someone voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and then for Trump in 2016.

This is all to support the narrative of, “Oh, these people are just deplorables, racists, all! And going after their vote is pointless and shall ever be.”

Never mind how many of them would’ve voted for Bernie if he’d been the nominee, or that often the actual views of these “deplorables” align more closely with a socialist slant.

I know, I know, Echidne and people like her had all their hopes and dreams wrapped up in the very flawed, terrible candidate that was Clinton. I understand.

But fucking hell, at least make an effort to have some deeper outlook on it all than, “Stupid racist white people vote for the white man because they hate immigrants, Muslims, black people and always will! Screw them!”

This is how and why the Democrats will lose again in 2018, and 2020.
