quote [ You can make whatever excuses you want—you can talk about how Hillary was unlikeable, how Bernie would have been better, how the Rust Belt just wants jobs—you can say all that, but it doesn’t matter. Because what Trump loudly and openly promised was White Supremacist Patriarchy. He didn't hide it. ]
White people need to recognise what's happening, and stop fucking apologising for it an excusing it, and actually do something.

This is tone-deaf. This is why you lost. Democrats created (or at least thought they did) a culture where such things were reprehensible. That is the problem, because it assume your pet issues matter more than basic human needs.
Hillary lost because of the Rust Belt, and Rust Belt flipped because they believed her husband fucked them over with NAFTA. Her opponent could have been David Duke and she still would have lose these states, because your pet issues do not trump food on the table and NOT raising your children in poverty.
Yes, we need to work towards that society, however we need to also remember the fucking basics. Food, jobs, and not losing narrativism battles to dumbfoundingly straightforward nativist because the party is too easily shown to be the one that acquiesces to neo-liberal economic policy.
This lesson HAS to be #1 to democrats right now, anything else is astoundingly tone deaf.

That is why every poll said Trump was gonna lose, because what this suggest is what people assumed.
