If you want to know why Trump won, just look at the response to his winning. The lofty contempt for ‘low information’ Americans. The barely concealed disgust for the rednecks and cretins of ‘flyover’ America who are apparently racist and misogynistic and homophobic. The haughty sneering at the vulgar, moneyed American political system and how it has allowed a wealthy candidate to poison the little people’s mushy, malleable minds. The suggestion that American women, more than 40 per cent of whom are thought to have voted for Trump, suffer from internalised misogyny: that is, they don’t know their own minds, the poor dears. The hysterical, borderline apocalyptic claims that the world is now infernally screwed because ‘our candidate’, the good, pure person, didn’t get in.
This response to Trump’s victory reveals why Trump was victorious. Because those who do politics these days — the political establishment, the media, the academy, the celeb set — are so contemptuous of ordinary people, so hateful of the herd, so convinced that the mass of society cannot be trusted to make political decisions, and now those ordinary people have given their response to such top-down sneering and prejudice. Oh, the irony of observers denouncing Middle America as a seething hotbed of hatred even as they hatefully libel it a dumb and ugly mob. Having turned America’s ‘left behind’ into the butt of every clever East Coast joke, and the target of every handwringing newspaper article about America’s dark heart and its strange, Bible-toting inhabitants, the political and cultural establishment can’t now be surprised that so many of those people have turned around and said… well, it begins with F and ends with U.
Which, if you look on the bright side, could be a good thing
Great Post!
“so many of those people have turned around and said… well, it begins with F and ends with U.”

They can sneer, whine and do whatever they want. The only real power they have is if Trump tries to placate them and does not stay on point. GW Bush’s Administration was doomed when he tried to ingratiate himself with Ted Kennedy. It really was the beginning of the end.
Absolutely. Keep on the same path and double down. We could be in control for a very long time.
This is why we cannot inhabit the same continent with them.
I’ve said it multiple times in many years: we cannot co-exist with liberals. I dont even pray for these pukes and if I did, it would be for their immediate demise. But nooooo, some limp-wristed Freepers keep telling me to keep my hate in check blah blah
Yep.
This reaching across the aisle crap needs to stop. We don’t even get a reach-around in return.
Like your fearful leader said, “Elections have consequences. We won.”
The liberal elites will be their own death nell.

Right!!!!!
Yeah...us ignorant masses....who have not been educated by the morons of academe of late.
Posted is two paragraphs of five in the article. Read the rest, it is worth your time, and as usual, the real “news” comes not from our dinosaur RAT infested propaganda media, but from foreign sources.
Excellent!
The evil in this world takes its most hideous form as Gnostic Romanticism. The only benefit the past affords us is the example of the heroes who got us here from there. The rest of it belongs in the dustbin of history. “Mother Nature” is a blind bloodthirsty bitch who eats her young. To worship her is to worship Hell.
There is no “reaching across the aisle” or “coming together” with the Left in America. Their ideas must be defeated and their totalitarian ideology must be destroyed if we are to preserve our Constitution, our Republic and our liberty ... there is no alternative.
The liberals have no such contempt for “low information” voters, or even illegals who can’t even speak English, when they vote for their candidate.
I believe Antartica would be a better place for all of the butthurt Libtards to live.
There isn’t a liberal alive who isn’t convinced that they are morally and intellectually superior to middle America. And the people just got sick of it. Liberals just can’t believe that their message of men in the women’s restroom, gays in the military, same sex marriage, fewer jobs, higher energy costs, higher taxes and more government control doesn’t resonate with America.
