This race was close enough that she may have won if she was in better health; I have no illusions about that. While I’m still high as a kite over Trump’s win, the sobering reality is that about half the voters picked her. Some of them are the usual suspects (government workers and their dependents, unassimilated ethnic minorities who’ve given up on the American Dream, feminazis); who are the rest of those voters?
Hillary was probably the most racist candidate in the history of our country. The other factor was moneycombined with ":I own you"....and elections can indeed be bought....almost.
But she forgot two groups...."We, the People" who WORK to keep our country intact....and our Military.
“who are the rest of those voters”
I have observed the emergence of a new ‘class’ in our society. I haven’t coined a name for them yet, but something like ‘transitional poor’.
Some of these people have jobs, but many in their extended families and circle of friends don’t - they are either on welfare or some sort of fake SSA disability. A common factor in this class is drug abuse. And many of society’s most basic requirements seem to be insurmountable hurdles for them. It may start with a DUI...followed by a conviction for driving on a suspended license and a few days in jail...they might have trouble getting their kids to school on time, and get a visit from child services. And of course, their lives are a constant sprint away from bill collectors. Whatever the reason, somewhere along the way, they have a ‘bad encounter’ with law enforcement, the courts, or some other symbol of authority.
And, they can’t accept that any of this is their fault...so they ‘hate cops’...say f#@% the judge...screw the banks...etc.
Once they hit that point, getting them to vote democrat is as easy as dangling something ‘free’ in front of their noses.
My observation is that the primary cause for being ‘transitional poor’ is drugs.
Hillary did a number on Trump and many were seriously terrified of him. Hundreds of millions in attack ads played in every state. They voted for her to avoid a mad man in WH.
