When this is all over, take a look at the map. Not the STATE map, but the COUNTY map. What you will see is that URBAN AMERICA (educated, cosmopolitan, global, tech savvy, upwardly mobile) is blue, and every single RURAL COUNTY (less educated, insular, living on the family farm or in the same small town they grew up in but the factory jobs are no longer there) in America. Therein lies the reason for the result.
The demographics that will flow from this election is that Trump has tapped into the negative undertones of the white male voter. He lost the black vote BIG. He lost the Hispanic vote BIG. He knew this coming in, so he came at it from the other end...win the white male by telling him whatever he wants to hear and telling them anything that is NOT white American is bad, bad, bad! In Rural America, that wins, wins, wins!
Now, we have to live with Trump, a Trump Supreme Court, a Trump Foreign Policy, and Trump's idea of domestic policy.
