   White women and Latinos aspiring to whiteness did what they always did and it's just a shame the rest of us have to pay for their selfish short-sightedness.

     There's basically nothing interesting in the exit polling data. We're in the middle of a reactionary backlash to changing cultural mores superimposed against massive economic inequality. We already knew that. We either contain or overpower the fascist wannabes or they drag us down with them.

     There is no reconciliation, no redemption, no forgiveness.

     And young men, especially young white men, are basically the core reactionary demographic in a culture inching toward greater equality.

     @gwynnion From the exit poll data it looked more like it was middle aged white men who were the worst. Basically Gen X. Both younger generations and Boomers (dependent on Medicare and SS he wants to eliminate) were much less pro-TFG.

     @gwynnion The attempt to indoctrinate actually young men is troubling but it doesn't seem to have been nearly as successful.
