Unfortunately, the election was business as usual. Most whites voted for the repub. 50k isn't wealthy, and that stat wasn't broken down by race. The only thing shocking is that more repubs didn't jump ship with Donald Trump as the nominee.

The fact that most whites voted for an incompetent clown can lead to feelings of resentment or worse, which is what prompted my sarcastic "thanks, guardian." What now?
