quote [ Jones' point is crucial: If whiteness is what elects Trump, then our country must talk about race. But, if history has proven anything, it's that that conversation has been incredibly difficult to have. ]
Seriously. White supremacy put us here. That's what fucking happened. This is a triumph of bigotry, and it happened in part because people kept laughing this shit off, claiming that there aren't really that many white supremacists out there, that he can't possibly win. Are you fucking happy now?

It will be interesting to get the exit poll data and all the other info like voter turnout.
Even talking about it brings up terms I hate to use like "white" (what the actual fuck) and "non-white" (even worse) but well, America is what it is so here we go: what I heard was that Trump / Republicans could not win without Hispanic support, at a bare minimum, and a significant fraction of the "non white" (apologies) vote generally. Certainly they'd need women. Those requirements go up if they could not get the black vote... which, yeah, they probably didn't get.
White male college dropouts (rednecks or not rednecks) alone cannot win you an election. Numerically impossible.
So whatever happened, it involved a lot of hispanics and women and maybe even minorities like muslims and asians and so forth and maybe even college graduates of all stripes and colors who were supposed to not vote for Trump or did not vote at all.
