The Democrats are the ones now that are showing their true class and how they look upon the Middleclass, by continuing this charade of racism and stupidity rolled into one, instead of accepting the TRUTH...! Well informed article. Thanks Em.

One British journalist gets it, though.

This column by Brendan O'Neill of the Spectator UK is absolutely correct:

The sneering response to Trump's victory reveals exactly why he won

If you want to know why Trump won, just look at the response to his winning. The lofty contempt for 'low information' Americans. The barely concealed disgust for the rednecks and cretins of 'flyover' America who are apparently racist and misogynistic and homophobic. The haughty sneering at the vulgar, moneyed American political system and how it has allowed a wealthy candidate to poison the little people's mushy, malleable minds. The suggestion that American women, more than 40 per cent of whom are thought to have voted for Trump, suffer from internalised misogyny: that is, they don't know their own minds, the poor dears. The hysterical, borderline apocalyptic claims that the world is now infernally screwed because 'our candidate', the good, pure person, didn't get in.

This response to Trump's victory reveals why Trump was victorious. Because those who do politics these days the political establishment, the media, the academy, the celeb set are so contemptuous of ordinary people, so hateful of the herd, so convinced that the mass of society cannot be trusted to make political decisions, and now those ordinary people have given their response to such top-down sneering and prejudice.

Oh, the irony of observers denouncing Middle America as a seething hotbed of hatred even as they hatefully libel it a dumb and ugly mob.
