2016 Postmortem

An emotional, readable book, that talks about a group of family-center folks who see rich people as smart (even when they con poor people out of money), who see government programs that they use as something they deserve--but when other people (not like them) use the programs they're moochers. These are families that see men as head of the household, even though there are broken homes run by women. These are people who see smart people as stupid.
These aren't just hillbilly folks. Cities are rimmed with trailer parks and dumpy little towns just filled with people like this. How do you educate someone who thinks education is stupid? That two hands are all that's needed for a job? How do you tell these people that robots are going to be driving trucks soon? That McDonald's is working on a fully-automated shop?
The mills aren't going to reopen. The mines may open, but it will be machines, not men doing the work.
These are the Trump voters.
These are the voters who once belonged to unions and voted for Democrats in strong numbers.
Trump reached them by lying to them.
Bigly.
And they didn't care. Because they just want things they way they used to be.

So Democrats, get to work. Put people in every elected post that can be won. School board, town council, every post. Then get the gerrymandered map fixed. Then get rid of the Electoral college.
Then start educating these people, whether they like it or not.
