By merely dismissing people that voted for Trump as dumb or miss informed people are missing the key point of this whole exercise and that's understanding why the people voted the way they did.
If the left or the democrats merely dismiss this results as the voters being dumb, or lazy or misinformed, they're going to doom themselves to losing again and not fixing the mistakes that were made.
Voters aren't dumb, they have their reasons for their votes.

I would argue they assumed the best in people. They let Hilary run her campaign in a way that informed people of her policy and describe open and detailed platforms, not understanding that the majority of people need to be spoken to plainly. They assumed Americans aren't inherently racist. She shouldve rolled up her sleeves, threw around some hail bails, and then had a speech how she's bringing back jobs "because economy" and that the country needed less radical muslims and Mexicans and more white folk with jobs and God.
