(27,818 posts).. is the Perfect (Shit)Storm, to whit:
Voters who refused to see a woman as a competent POTUS, voters who were swayed by Comey's "announcement" of HRC still being the subject of investigation, voters who chose to believe a man who has outsourced US jobs is actually the champion of those whose jobs were outsourced, voters who swallowed fake news without bothering to investigate the facts, voters who think "illegals" are stealing good-paying jobs, voters who believe that non-white minorities are being paid too much attention, voters who think that who campaigned in their state is more important than what that candidate stands for, voters who would rather believe the lies (I'll bring back those coal miners' jobs) than believe the truth (the coal industry is financially unviable and ISN'T coming back), voters who wanted to be told that their hatred of minorities is justified, so-called "Christian" voters who believe that Trump was "chosen by God", voters who believe that unemployment skyrocketed during Obama's administration (all facts to the contrary), voters who have been brainwashed by FOX-News, Rush Limbaugh et al, voters who think ALL Democrats are latte-guzzling elitists who have NO idea what a middle-class worker is up against, as opposed to a billionaire who somehow does.
The aforesaid voters are responsible for Trump's "election" - not because they represent the majority of voters, but because they happen to reside in the "right states" where their votes have more weight than voters in other states, because their votes are seen as "more worthy" than the majority of voters who cast their ballots elsewhere.
Throw into the mix an MSM that yelled "Emails and Benghazi!!!" 24/7, and never talked about Trump's lies, the dozens of lawsuits pending against him, and dismissed "pussy-grabbing" as excusable naughty locker-room talk.
The effects of this Perfect (Shit)storm won't be felt for a while. But I wait in anticipation of the day it does. When grandmas's social security check is pared-down to the bone, when citizens start dying for lack of affordable healthcare once Obamacare is overturned, when Trumptowns full of people living in tents because they can't afford rent or food pop up around the country, it will be interesting to hear the squeals of the pigs who voted for Trump.
"I NEVER voted for THIS!" will be the outraged cry. And the fact that they DID vote for this will be vehemently denied by those responsible.
