Misogyny Factor in Trump's Election (vote, president, Clinton, Americans)

Can't have it both ways. Either White men are in charge or they have lost their power. Pick one if you are going to brand White men.

Better to put the branding iron away, I think.

That was from a survey after of voters after the Election, NOT my opinion. I suppose you can Google survey if you so choose to.

Why do the Hillary faithful fail so miserably at analyzing the outcome of the election?? It wasn't about racism. It wasn't about promoting LGBT discrimination. It wasn't about misogyny.

With apologies for all the f-bombs, this liberal guy from the UK pretty much nails it.

I didn't vote for Trump. I don't like him and think his approaches to American problems are doomed to fail. But I'm absolutely amazed at how many on the left want to just chalk it all up to racism, sexism and bigotry. Trump gained significantly in the black, asian and Latino vote demographics. He even got a higher percentage of the women's vote than Romney -- despite the fact that he was running against a woman and Romney wasn't. He did all that while matching Romney almost exactly for the white vote. "Male White America" is a shrinking demographic. Trump actually won because of he gained votes in every demographic he supposedly hates and intends to persecute/destroy. That is what the Democrats need to be analyzing.

Honestly though, the Democrats seem to be the party fixated on absolute hate and intolerance of others that don't bow down to their play book 100%, its closed minded and sickening.

Today's fundamentalist liberals are like fundamentalist Muslims who practice taqqiya - the idea that lying is perfectly acceptable if it serves a "greater goal". Considering their proclivity for violence I'd say they're also instituting fatwa into their insanity.

I don't have to Google anything to understand basic demographics or the sheer impossibility/absurdity of your claim.

I'm fairly confident that every misogynist who went to the polls voted for Trump.

I'm also fairly confident that the number of misogynists who went to the polls wasn't enough to sway the election either way, so wasting time belaboring this point only inhibits productive discourse about the real reasons Trump won.

Sadly the number of voters that went to the pools period was miserably low. About 43% of eligible voters didn't even turn out.

We'll finally be able to move forward when the voters are contrite enough to realize it's their fault and not Hillary's fault that she lost and repent accordingly. If only they could be made to see and acknowledge her magnificence as a candidate, politician, and a human being...

As Bitey and that so-called liberal from UK are trying to tell you, Bill Clinton's wife lost the election (and so did the Bushes).

You want to be productive, and not just in mere discourse? We live on US soil.

Work out the implications of that.

I can empathize.

I didn't like either candidate. Both seemed ruthless, power-hungry, and totally out of touch with ordinary Americans.
