What we saw this election was a rebellion against the elite. First, they rebelled against the Republican Party, then they rebelled against the Democratic Party. The more people said they shouldn’t vote for Donald Trump, the more they wanted to. That Trump is an incompetent racist, misogynist, and xenophobe only made him more appealing to his supporters because voting for him would piss off everyone. Do you really think they were going to vote for someone who wanted to raise their taxes to give them government-run health insurance? I know “I told you so!” is part of the grief process, but really? We were hit by a truck, and it’s quite clear people voting for Trump didn’t really care who or what was in front of that truck. We’re in the political wilderness now, so we can form a circular firing squad or we can get up, dust ourselves off, and move forward together.
