Again.... Don't let facts get in your way guys. Trump sold these people an illusion.

So... what's your point??? OK, unemployment is down. But that doesn't show underemployment, being underpaid and more importantly the total acceptance to look down on a very large portion of the american population. You can't chose your sex or race or gender and we've been taught that as a result you are not to discriminate those groups. Well, you can't chose the economic sector your born into either yet it's 100% totally socially acceptable to belittle this class.
So now we have a class that is underemployed and under educated that is absolutely being left behind and following an election where they spoke up we simply dismiss them as being dumb and wonder what went wrong?
It didn't matter if Trump won or not. This divide is growing and will probably still continue to grow for the foreseeable future. So we can continue to label this group as bigots, racists, sexists and idiots and hope they go away or we can have a dialogue about how to fix the issue.
It's often been stated that people will continue to vote for policies that hurt them and as such a class that is most in need of social safety nets are willing to vote Republican. Yet during the campaign what did Clinton do to speak to this group? What policy's did she have that benefited this class? And more importantly how did she attempt to communicate these?
I don't have the answers - I wouldn't even know where to begin, except it probably doesn't involve Trump, but dismissing a large block of the voting public is probably not a good start.
For instance, what good could something like this possibly achieve in starting a constructive dialogue?
So who are the real "idiots" here?
