Why did 70 million people vote for Trump? Saying things like "they vote against their self interest" and "they're stupid" is lazy and only designed to comfort the people saying this stuff. Democrats haven't looked out for working class people in 50 years and they know it.
Anyway, I keep writing and deleting things, which means I'm ranting, so I'd better stop and actually work. Plus I'm sure this thread has moved on by now.

The Republicans aren''t looking out for the working class either. They've just managed to convince a whole bunch of gullible people that they are, and they've got the religious right fervently believing in their divine right to rule.
Sorry, but 70 million people willing to vote for someone who is corrupt, racist, homophobic, narcissistic, immature, petty, vengeful, compulsively unable to tell the truth, venal, brags about sexually assaulting women, mocks those with disabilities, encourages his followers to attack people who disagree with them, lets hundreds of thousands of people die and millions get sick so as to keep his own job, and in debt to unknown people don't get to claim their jobs as a viable reason to vote for him, especially considering the shape of the economy and the fact that he's been president for the past four years and things are objectively worse.
Calling them stupid is lazy. Calling them deplorable is accurate.
