David, 31, New Jersey: ‘I regret not voting, I never thought Donald Trump would win’
I would have voted for Hillary Clinton, but I didn’t. I thought she would win the White House.
I feel heartbroken for those disenfranchised Americans who voted for Trump, not because of his divisive rhetoric, but in spite of it. Hillary is a genius diplomat, but she proved, once again, to be an ineffectual communicator. She could not reach those desperate to put food back on their table. I used to drive past the front-lawn Trump signs in my town and dismiss the homeowner as a lunatic, but my own liberal elitism has blown up in my face. They are not lunatics, they are people with a different experience to me, and that has swayed how they vote.
I hope we will begin to understand how Trump voters’ experiences, not their ignorance, led them to this position. But I am scared to death for our environment, for those among us who are in need of care and, most of all, for those who cast their vote for Trump. They thought he was their last chance for prosperity. For these middle-Americans, the past was greater than the present. They remember a time when they, and their entire extended family, had decent-paying jobs. When every storefront in their now-deserted town had a thriving local business.
There was a stark disparity of views in this election, and why was the result so unexpected? Because when the liberal establishment of this country drove by front-lawn Trump signs, they had the same response as I did....

You buttercups will love T when he enforces the law.
It's possible that if David had voted, Hillary could have won New Jersey...
No thanks.
If only this person had voted, maybe Hillary would have taken New Jersey.
I love it when a plan comes together!
Unbelievable ignorance/stupidity from a non-voter.
It is better to stay silent and have people think you a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Oh, drat. If this guy had only voted for Hillary, maybe New Jersey would not have been a Red state.
Oh. Wait.
New Jersey went for Hillary. It was Blue. So the fact that this guy didn’t vote for Hillary means exactly nothing.
This fella needs to get checked for a brain tumor.
Liberals think the same way Hillary does. They feel Trump supports are racist sexist homophobic xenophobic islamophobic.........
When you think you are smarter than everybody else, as liberals tend to do, you don’t understand or care to understand why somebody would have the audacity to vote for Trump.
See Propaganda is just Propaganda ,LOL
This article sounds like it was written by someone who doesn't understand how the U.S. presidential election process works.
Hillary Clinton won New Jersey, so David's vote would have been completely inconsequential. Regretting his decision not to vote is about as meaningful as regretting the rising and setting of the sun.
I stopped reading right there.
As told by a self-disenfranchised American.
LOL. You beat me to it.
The part about the environment was funny. Reminds me of a Reagan quote:
“It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.”
HAHAHHA! Reply of the week!
LMFAO.. my ribs are hurting!
My guess is that thousands of illegal invaders are already self-deporting at the news of a law enforcer getting elected.
