Again, Zeteo staff, looking backwards and finding fault is not important at all, not even helpful. Please stop wasting our time with this.

What would be much more interesting and productive is to delve into an understanding of who this block of voters are who endorsed Trump. We need to start thinking about a strategy on how to partner with them. What is Trump’s attraction for them? 71% of those people are white voters, mostly uneducated. How will we inspire us going forward?

Can you help with that work?

One more ask: can you find some of this voters, interview them, so we begin to understand what moves them? Your help would be appreciated!

Hi. I'm a gay man from Texas. My dad was a pastor. These people you're talking about are my family. Let me let you know right now, that you already do not understand.

It's abuse. Trump abuses those who listen. They walk away from the TV angrier and angrier and only leave it when made to do so. They watch it all day, every day.

When you talk with them, it's every abuser's tactic to humiliate you for disagreeing with them, logic be damned.

Some are nicer about it, some are meaner about it, but that's always the end of it.

People who are in their camp who are capable of moral understanding find their own way out.

Thank you for sharing this, Eubaba. The abuse piece is an important element.

I am sure that you an educated fool, so there is very little chance that you'll understand the value of finding where one person, or a group of people, made a mistake before they start 'going forward'. See, that's a necessary step to keep the compass pointing in the right direction. As for your 'dream' of engaging with 'uneducated white' voters floating around out there, their feelings of dispossession can only be cured with more genocides and 'cleansing'. But then again, I don't suppose you are a history buff, so there is very little value in trying to help you understand American history from that perspective.
