Don’t get me wrong Moore is a left wing loon when it comes to his political (publicly at least) stance.. but he’s not completely detached from reality like the Coastal Libs and Globalists are.

He was one of the few voices on the left, warning that Trump was going to win, and exactly why he was going to win.... but the powers that be on the left wouldn’t listen to him.

Folks like myself, in these same rust belt states on the right, saw the same thing Moore was seeing... because we were living in the minefields that the economic policies of both parties for the last 40 years had wrought... and for the last 2 administrations in particular had been devastated by and had no one care or do a damned thing.

But the coastal elites of both parties just couldn’t see it... and refused to believe it because they weren’t living the hell their policies had created. Their towns weren’t overrun by illegals or drugs, or laying in economic ruin because of globalist policies... they were still lining their pockets happily.... Their children weren’t growing up in towns where the only work available was HD or Wal Mart, with shuttered factories and their kids weren’t getting addicted to prescription opioids....

Trump “got it”...he was speaking RIGHT to this part of the country from the day he announced.... it was clear what his strategy was, and pretty damned obvious it was going to work..... to everyone that wasn’t stuck in “it can’t happen” thinking.

He and I have both lived in Flint, Michigan. Anyone who has ever lived there (or in Toledo, or any similar place) KNOWS exactly why Trump won.

It was because for thirty years the elites pursued globalism telling people in those places that this was their "new normal" and they had just better get used to it. That it was painful but trust us, in the long run a global economy would be better for all.

Meanwhile living conditions in your town just got worse, and worse, and worse.

In 2016 those voters ran out of patience and told them to stuff it. Anyone who spent time around Flint could have seen that coming.

Hillary has still not answered why she NEVER went to Wisconsin.

Too many white people I suspect. But plenty of white Liberals. But she decided to ignore them.
