    Latest finding from quantitative Trumpology: nearly all-white towns provided the winning margin. More evidence that Trumpism is a last-gasp cultural/racial reaction, not an economic protest. Votinghttps://nyti.ms/2jwtjOc

        Give up the race card. It doesn't work. If it did, Trump would have lost the election.

        Black people should take a long, introspective look at the mirror when pondering the problems that plague their communities. After that they should stop voting democrat.

        It's the truth. Stopping the blame on the "white man" would be the best decision black communities could do. Listen to Candace Owens, for example. She knows what she is talking about.

        Trump absolutely won as an economic protest. People like you can dress it up however they want; but clinton / dems have abandoned the working class (read poor whites) for decades. Real wages have fallen. Now you try to blame them - yet again. Ridiculous.

        How do you explain the higher median income of Trump voters compared to those of Clinton?

        Probably the dems playing for every poor minority while completely outcasting the poor white majority. Sorry *deplorables. Clinton’s book tour included struggling US states she didn’t even visit while campaigning. Says everything you need to know really.

        obama oversaw the biggest wealth transfer to the 1% in US history. real wages have dropped for the average American, white or not, and inequality has gotten worse. and then the dems stitched up the only progressive candidate? why wouldn't you roll the dice and vote Trump?

        //When 95% of Black Americans voted for Obama in 2008 - AMAZING! When 58% of White Americans voted for Trump in 2016 - EVIL WHITE RACISM!// 🤔🤔🤔 I see double standards here.

        I'm black, am working on my 2nd Master's Degree, & voted Trump. Instead of bashing his base, you all should be LISTENING to what we are saying.

        I am also black and voted for Trump. We don't fit Mr. Pinker's narrative, so we will be ignored. Being unable to use racial epithets against us directly, "progressive" whites can count on other blacks to call us coons as they've been taught. Long live the Democratic plantation.
