It is funny that no matter how many people point out why Trump won the Democrats refuse to believe it.
Real people, the people in the fly over states, the people that are ignored by the left don't care about things like microaggressions, 23 different different genders etc. Trump will be reelected in 2020 because of this. In 2008 the Democrats couldn't keep from celebrating that they would win the presidency for the foreseeable future due to demographics, how did that turn out for them? Just keep making excuses and the left will be relegated to being nothing more than the mimes and court jesters of politics.
Propaganda
“However, #WalkAway has also now been connected to Kremlin-linked Russian bots,
according to the website Hamilton 68, which tracks Russian influence on Twitter as part of the Alliance for Securing Democracy,
The New Blacklist
Their Hamilton 68 “dashboard,” easily accessible online to civilians and journalists alike, supposedly tells us what the enemy wants us to think at any given moment. Citing a secret methodology, it claims to track 600 Twitter accounts for their “relationship to Russia-sponsored influence,” and regularly spits out mysterious conclusions about Putin’s preferences in the American political scene. More and more often now, the site’s pronouncements turn into front-page headlines.
When the dashboard declared that Nunes’ #Releasethememo campaign had become the “top-trending hashtag” among Russian twitter accounts, a gaggle of press outlets and politicians rushed to point out that Nunes was doing the work of the enemy. (Even Rolling Stone got into the act, accusing Nunes of working “in concert with Russian propagandists”).
Of course, in keeping with a growing pattern of Russiagate stories being quietly walked back sometime after the sensational headline, reports later broke that most of the Twitter furor driving #Releasethememo came from domestic Republicans – from “inside the house,” as the Daily Beastput it. Even one of Hamilton 68’s own was later quoted downplaying the story.
It didn’t matter, because Hamilton 68 had by then moved on to its next set of headlines. The group that has seen Russians behind both left and right political causes, behind the Roy Moore Alabama Senate campaign and the decision of California Democrats to deny their endorsement to Dianne Feinstein, was soon a main source for stories about Russians playing havoc with the Parkland shooting in Florida.
The Russians, Hamilton 68 now said, were sowing discord on both sides of the gun control debate by pushing contradictory hashtags like #guncontrolnow and #NRA.
The New York Times put a piece about Russia’s Parkland meddling on page A1, the choicest real estate in American journalism, and outlets like Wired, Newsweek, Vanity Fair and countless others trumpeted the same story. Even Fox News, usually a Russiagate doubter, got in the act, citing Hamilton 68 to say: “Russian bots aren’t pro-Republican or Pro-Democrat. They’re just anti-American.”
Fox wrote the story in a way that used the Hamilton 68 data to make it seem like the Russians didn’t have an exclusive preference for Donald Trump. But the defense of Trump was really a distraction. The palmed card in this propaganda trick was the mere fact that right-wing media, too, were now accepting the core principle of projects like Hamilton 68: that a foreign enemy lurks everywhere in our midst, and the source of political discontent in this country comes not from within, but from without.
Oh for Christ's sake...the "flyover states" are almost all red and have been.
Trump won due to the votes of less than 200,000 people in 4 states...FL, PA, MI, WI.
Change those 200,00 votes in those states and there is a different outcome.
You can use all the propagandist bullshit you want...that's the math. There was no landslide, there was no populists uprising. Dems, in large part, stayed home in a few key states.
This basic math also explains why, despite comrade GURPS' best attempts to spin the story, Trump has never had a composite poll result above 50% approval....I don't believe Trump has ever polled above 50% anywhere other that Rassmusen.
Trump is a buffoon...he is the perfect candidate of the uneducated....those who would stand up and shout "send them back" in one breath and proclaim themselves to be the only true Patriots in the next.
It should have not even been close. Really, imagine if Trump was actually likeable.

It was actually closer to 70,000 if not for the Russian influence and years of GOP false attack’s on Clinton like Pizzagate and Seth Rich, he would not have won.

Hillary was oh so close. Missed it by this much.
Lol, like I said your head in the sand approach is going to get him reelected in 2020.It was actually closer to 70,000 if not for the Russian influence and years of GOP false attack’s on Clinton like Pizzagate and Seth Rich, he would not have won.

As it happens, next month will be 30 years since I walked away from a controlling and unhealthy church which I have called a "cult" here, online.
