The media ridicule Trump supporters.

Trump supporters are not just racist and deplorable. They are also stupid.

Unlike the snowflakes trashing their own cities because they can’t handle reality, right?

Now who is stupid.

Evidently, the author of this piece has learned nothing from this campaign and election. Still publishing the same old elitist poison that has been losing elections for Dems since 2010.

HIs thesis is not only did dumb people vote Trump but that smart people didn’t vote for Hillary. So I give him one point for that. But what he’s really saying is “I don’t like Trump therefore anyone who voted for him must be stupid”. I guarantee he would not have written this piece if Hillary had won. CFR and elitist shmucks like him are enemies of America.

They’re full of cr**. Most of his voters WERE educated and WORKING folks. A degree in Literature and/or Basket Weaving is NOT “educated”.

I’m seeing this narrative all over the internet. The ignorant Trump voters. The ‘educated’ elite are afraid to drive out into the country where those rural knuckle draggers live.

Never have I seen such a disgusting disconnect from reality.

Some people are less well-educated, but all are educated.

I got a question for theses idiots how many democratic party voters are uneducated blacks Hispanic and mid eastern. the amount of racism in the statement uneducated white voters makes my blood boil. we need to start calling out the media when they make that stamen because democrats have just as many people that have not continued there education past high school. the only difference is the racial make up.

Oh keep telling us how stupid we are. The media will not learn that they are just as much the problem as the flawed democratic nominee was. Keep it up.

Trashing your own liberal cities is stupid. Deliberately exaggerating how far right Donald Trump is also stupid. Losing to a reality TV show star like the Democrats just have is also stupid. Thinking a freshman senator is the best POTUS ever then expecting all of us to think a businessman cannot do it is also a double standard. They were happy when Trump supported them though.

No stupid, Trump won because enough voters were not ignorant. We understand issues and know that the end of lies brings us freedom.

This article is just another illustration of why Trump won.

We’ve grown weary of this $#!t.

“OK, so that just happened. Donald Trump always enjoyed massive support from uneducated, low-information white people”

They’ve learned nothing...

GOOD!!

This qualifies as “Voxsplaining.”

Arrogance is just as bad as stupid, and it can breed stupidity too. And the left was arrogant into thinking Trump was another Romney.

"But that’s false: Trump supporters in the primaries had an average income of about $72,000 per year. They aren’t rich, but make more than the national average and more than Clinton supporters."

So taking out $200,000 in college loans that qualify one to make less money is an indicator of brilliance?

Uneducated, low information white people in liberal code means blue collar workers. Four and eight years these were mostly Obama voters. Then they were hardworking Americans because they were voting for a Democrat. These people were the backbone of the country. This election a bunch of these voters went to Trump. Now they’re ignorant, uneducated rubes. Read between the lines we all know the words the MSM wants to use is white trash. As an American and Freeper of color this constant bashing of whites is insulting to me. Every other group is allowed to have their own self interests, but when whites vote for their interests it’s now racist. The left is exacerbating racial animus and strife not us. They’re coming apart at the seams after Hillary’s loss. They have no political ammo left so here comes the race card, the gender card, and the brand new blame the FBI and Russia cards.

I’d love to see a breakdown of STEM grad vs. everything else grad voting.

A lot of college degrees are pretty worthless these days.

I’m with you on the last three, MS in engineering, voted for Trump, and the writer can go take a long walk off a short pier as far as I’m concerned.
