I'm not saying it's irrelevant, but this election was decided by people who voted for Obama in 2012, and should figure into the analysis

@Nate_Cohn this only works if the candidate they chose wasn't openly racist. He was, so they are part of the problem.

@DebraJenson @Nate_Cohn all Republicans since Lincoln have been openly racist.

@spencerthayer @DebraJenson I hope there's still time for you to drop the lame "Trump is a racist!" narrative.

@Brooklinenativ2 @spencerthayer nope. That narrative stays as long as he speaks and acts as a racist

@DebraJenson @Brooklinenativ2 @spencerthayer Failure to explore alternatives will blind you.

@markus_2oo @DebraJenson @Brooklinenativ2 he is a racist. Period.

@Nate_Cohn Haven’t we all been saying all along that bigotry is intersectional? Of course it’s not only racism. It’s also misogyny.

@sarahjanet your point is undermined by the tweet you are replying to. Given that bigotry is intersectional, why did "bigots" vote Obama?

@thebarryman Well, some of them didn’t. My point is there are more racist misogynists than there are just racists.

@sarahjanet Agreed. But HRC lost counties Obama won by >25%. Bigotry is not the only cause of this disaster.

@thebarryman Only cause, no. Primary cause, yes.

@sarahjanet How do you figure?

@thebarryman Look I am exhausted and devastated and don’t really want to wade into microanalysis of bigotry right now, if you don’t mind.

@Nate_Cohn right, it's a racism AND mysogyny story

@Fixer_guy @justinmassa @Nate_Cohn Please keep those knee-jerk reactions coming. You're really motivating us to #MAGA

@Fixer_guy @justinmassa @Nate_Cohn And that's exactly what Trump intends to change. Bring the Oligarchy down.

@Deplorable_Ed @justinmassa @Nate_Cohn Hoping, not hopeful Dead cynical w ample cause
