2016 Postmortem

which show that some white working class Obama voters switched and voted for Trump this time, and counties that switched from Obama to Trump.

But as I outlined in my previous post, those same voters could've voted for non-racist reasons in 2008 and 2012, but due to the racially charged atmosphere of the past 4 years, voted for racist reasons this time around.

And some of these voters may've simply wanted a change in direction, thought healthcare was too expensive, blamed alot of things on the existing party that holds the presidency (as voters usually do, especially after 8 years), etc.

But to deny, as the alt-left/Berners like to do, that race played no role in an election that was essentially won by an ethno-nationalist like Trump, is laughable, and reveals much of their own ethno-centrism, that seeks to center the white working class as the "true backbone of America," while denying that most Hillary voters were working/middle class voters also, many of whom were PoC, immigrants, women, etc.
