    Cambridge Analytica story is clearly significant but the way it's being framed in US media has contributed to the increasingly-popular idea that Trump only won because people were tricked into voting for him by devious, malign outsiders

        BBC also pushing this narrative really hard - they've lost all credibility.

        Trump won because average American voters (ie undereducated, underpaid and underemployed, and not wealthy) have no idea what is going wrong with this country and they will vote for whatever looks different.

        The president openly lies on a daily basis when he can easily be proven otherwise and yet his base still believes him. CA targeted susceptible individuals with misinformation and Fox was more than happy to back it up. This is clearly a widespread problem in the US.

        It was to be expected. Hillary pushed hard the narrative that she only lost because people run against her. For symmetry, something had to emerge about her opponents. Bernie did so well and Trump won only because they campaigned.

        But what are you implying the real reason is? Did Trump actually win because of rampant racism and sexism, or did he win because of genuine economic disenfranchisement. Or both?

        As opposed to the devious insiders that ran his campaign? You do know that both can be true at the same time, right?
