(67,163 posts)There are, as far as I can determine, four types of Trump voters:
1. They voted for him, they support him, and would happily vote for him again.
2. They voted for him but now claim buyers' remorse because they don't want to accept the consequences of their vote, but they'd vote for him again and will certainly vote for every other Republican in 2018 and 2020
3. They voted for him but now claim buyers' remorse because they're embarrassed to admit that they were conned, but they'd vote for him again and willc certainly vote Repub in 18 and 20
4. They realize that they were conned and are truly regretful. These are maybe 5 out of every 100 Trump voters. And why the hell didn't they think about what they were doing before casting their votes? Too little, too late.
We can waste a lot of effort "reaching out to" these 5 racist-enabling rapist-supporting suddenly open-eyed voters, or we can accept that Clinton was fucked out of a clear victory because she ran an amazingly successfully campaign. She only "lost" due to a bullshit electoral quirk that seems, at best, suspicious.
I'm a white working-class male, and I say screw the white working class male if his head is so far up his ass that he voted for Trump. Let us instead reach out to women and minorities and build a stronger, more diverse base in the process.
