"It’s easy to point to these small, impoverished towns and name racism, the second amendment or plain stupidity as the only reasons why these people would ever vote for a man like Donald Trump. I find this to be highly intellectually dishonest, though. To write this off as simple racism is to ignore the very real and very heartbreaking struggles small town America faces."

donald says he is going to unite the people. maybe he actually will.
Hate did vote for the Butcheress of Benghazi. And illegals, and the dead, and the stupid, and the brainwashed...
HATE rioted in the post-election period!
Flyover country said enough is enough. The urban elites don’t even know we’re here, or care. That’s going to change.
But this “Progressive” business is just about the biggest bunch of arrant lies seen since the fall in Eden.
White lefty activists, as white as polar bears, have sold a horrible perverted group identity to black people, to Hispanics, to American Indians, etc.
The result is such filth as BLM and La Raza.
I think the day is hastening when America is going to say hasta la vista to that stuff. It will be a polished bronze age, if not quite a golden one yet.
The so called “red necks”
Hate voted against Trump.
Good idea. But, not sure how eager the liberals will be, to get together to solve common problems. Reason being, liberals live in a different world than you and I. Their views of what the problems are, are just different due to their worldview.
Pick just about any issue and I think you will see what I’m getting at.
1. Global warming/environment — Liberals are in favor of shutting down coal fired power plants, and making power supplies less reliable and much more expensive. Conservatives oppose this. Liberals believe that global warming is a problem we need to face. Conservatives don’t think it’s a problem to be solved as such.
2. Liberals think there is rampant racism in police departments, and this is the reason why people like Michael Brown are shot and killed by police. Conservatives don’t see this as a problem.
3. Liberals favor illegal alien amnesty, conservatives believe in enforcing our immigration laws, and oppose amnesty.
There are many other issues we face, of course. But just saying, good luck in finding any common ground with liberals on certain issues. The common ground just isn’t there.
They gin up artificial troubles, and then bring on “solutions” that are even worse than the troubles!
Keeping Socialists OUT of power, from Dogcatcher on up, for a Generation or so will help, greatly!
Best. Election. Ever. EVER! :)
Yes, I know...absolute power corrupts absolutely. If we go too far to the Right, there will be another backlash in the opposite direction. Lets at least go so far to the Right that we can drag the, ‘moderate’ Leftists back to center!
Our side doesn’t need to give an INCH if we Lead By Example and make changes that people can actually SEE improving their everyday lives.
Excellent article
Hate nearly prevented him from being president though.
I don’t classify the dislike of Clinton as the same thing though.
You could review Trump policy, and it wasn’t bad at all. He wasn’t being mean with any of it. He supported a return to the rule of law.
Look at her. Her platform was terrible. Her personal morality was on display. There was more than enough to bury her as it related to criminal activity.
So hatred expressed toward Trump was just hatred of the man.
Dislike expressed toward Hillary was easily justified based on her terrible record, and her terrible sans Constitutional platform.
What Donald Trump is bringing together is actually more centrism than rightism. We call it rightism but it’s from the perspective of a country that has been sliding left for years.
And that’s fine.
As a WWII war vet, my father stopped churning in his grave when Trump became President-Elect...
Not only did HATE not elect Trump, but the campaign is OVER...
We are now seeing an American put our Nation ahead of everyone and everything for the sake of our Nation and it’s people...that is why WE voted for him...
If the ‘hate filled’ humans cannot understand that, they should leave...they will be of no use to once again ‘MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN’!!!
I’m sure the cemeteries have been a LOT quieter all across the land! ;)

Hate did elect Trump. The constant display of hatred for anything representative of traditional American values and Christianity drove the silent majority to finally defend themselves by voting for a man who was willing to turn back the tide and was beholden to no moneyed interests, knowing they would be demonized and called every pejorative term in the book.
Small towns do face troubles. But more than just Donald Trump realizing it. And speaking to it. There is the fact that the democrats don’t like middle class, small town whites. They make fun of the way we talk. They make fun of anyone without a four year college degree. It never occurred to them that 76% of the country does not have a four year college degree.
Racism is the idea that one race is better than another. But democrats do believe they are better than Trump voters. They don’t just think we are wrong. They think they are better. They know best. And they are fit to be tied because we did not listen to what they were saying and vote Hillary. How dare us!
