All the "excuses" for the Trump victory rely upon ignorance, racism, lies and class/geography differences.  The citizens of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa are complaining about not sharing in prosperity, employment and "specialness" while others (1%, coastal dwellers, college educated) seemed not only to recover from the vast 2008-09 economic meltdown but to have profited from it. What different happened to those states and why are the Dems to blame for Flint water troubles, rising unemployment, GOP refusal to support the ACA and rural/urban conflicts? The church's only skin in the political game seems to be abortion opposition, (free) birth control denied to others, and elbow rubbing with the 1% who own and control everything. Dig deeper, far deeper, and see the hidden racism, the disrespect for women, the denigration of education as elitism, and willingness to believe obviously false and fake new.
