In reply to the discussion: Coal Country Trump Voters Scared that Obamacare will be Taken Away [View all]Dorian Gray
(13,850 posts)the three states that were very important in this election: West Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin have all been reached in the past. I think that we need for every american. Even ones we are angry with right now.
Is it a betrayal? Yes. It feels like they made a huge mistake and they're cutting off noses to spite their face. I'm sure there was a lot of racism involved, but there is also A LOT OF RESENTMENT. And primarily because we act as though we are so much smarter and above the people from the states who voted for Trump.
I think he (Trump) is an idiot. I also think a lot of people voted for a lot of complicated reasons. I'm shocked to find out that people who I didn't think were political did vote for Trump. I'm upset about all of this. I live in NYC, and I'm surrounded by like minded people who are quick to brush off Trump voters as ignorant rubes. But they all can't be. And what are we not doing for people that they would choose HIM over Hillary and the Democratic Party? We really need to figure this out.
The election of Trump is the death of the conservative Republican party. It just is. I don't want it to be the death of the Democratic Party, as well.
