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?

Why Clinton Lost according to CNN.
In every demographic, Hillary lost ground compared to Obama.
Demographic: Hillary (Obama)
African American: 88% (93%)
Latinos: 65% (71%)
Under 30: 54% (60%)
Asian: 65% (73%)
Women: 55% (54%)
She flat out failed to appeal to her voter base.
Then you have this gem: "White voters made up 70% of the electorate this year, down from 72% four years ago."
So there were actually less white voters this time, yet Trump still won.
It seems pretty clear to me that the problems were Hillary failing to appeal to every demographic rather than some sort of racist surge. While those people definitely exist, I don't think there are suddenly more of them around now as opposed to 4 years ago.
Now it true that Trump gave a voice to those racists. But ultimately they didn't decide the election, Hillary's poor performance did.
