Please - some facts:
- Clinton won the popular vote (so much for the MAJORITY of the people)
- Trump won the electoral vote but not by much

Agree with your earlier comment about blaming folks e.g. racist, bigots, etc.

But, let's be honest - the uneducated, white male vote is significantly about the loss of white privilege along with changes in economic status.  Research and historical data would show that unions did the most to support these folks but the Republican Party since Reagan has dismantled unions.  And not even Trump can bring the coal industry back; turn back technological advances; education, etc. In fact, fracking brought the end of the coal industry.

Okay, let's not attack using labels, etc. but, IMO, much of this discussion reminds me of the old historical arguments about the Civil War - was it states rights or slavery?  We know now conclusively that it was slavery and states rights was a dog whistle used to justify racism.  Compare today.
