There is no soul-searching necessary to figure out how this came to be: a majority of Catholics voted for Trump because he promised to appoint pro-life judges to the Supreme Court, thereby protecting fetuses - never mind what will happen to the rest of us who've already been born. A majority of rural dwellers voted for Trump because they hate "inner-city people" (wink, wink.) A majority of whites voted for Trump because they thought their special status was diminished under a black president. A majority of men voted for Trump because they feared their special status would be diminished under a female president. A majority of nativists voted for Trump because they hate immigrants. A majority of conservatives voted for Trump because they hate gay marriage and gay people, their #1 sworn enemy whom they think have destroyed civilization. A majority of the "poorly-educated" voted for Trump because they're poorly educated and because Trump told them he loves them. Did I leave anybody out?
