Trump Won Because Leftist Political Correctness Inspired a Terrifying Backlash

Trump won because people are easy to fool. They think the industrial jobs of old are going to come back. I have to wonder if they know that the majority of those jobs even in China are rapidly being automated away. I feel for those folks in the Rust Belt because many people in Wichita, Kansas had the same sort of outsourcing hit them across all sectors (aircraft, call centers, etc). But the fact is those jobs will never ever come back. Call centers are being outmoded by online help sites. Manufacturing is being taken over by better machines producing 100 times the output of worker on their best day. This is the new normal and that means we need to consider our options but going back to 1950s industrial nostalgia isn't one of them. It's time for the Trump voters to wake up and not be fooled by the dream Trump promises but will never be able to deliver.

Trump won both because in todays world whoever screams louder wins, and because of lack of competition. The real shame isn't his victory, but the fact that a 300 million people country could not produce better candidates on both sides.

Don't take it as offensive, in my country too the same happens at every election: politicians speak to people bellies, not their brains because today voters have pretty much stopped using their brains and follow whoever pushes the right buttons during speeches (god, family, safety, immigration, jobs, etc).

Partially the alt right and its cast of characters definately helped him.

reason.com is a libertarian joke. Okay, i'm done ranting.

His children might as well be something out of rich children of the corn. Disconnected from reality, equal to the Clintons daughter. They don't understand anything, but Trumps worst because just look at them. His life is a circus, and he played you all. He's dumb but he's not dumb, he learned how to outcompete Clinton without spending as much and learned how to grab quite a bit of America while literally saying not much of anything.
