Leaving hiatus to briefly discuss White Working Class and the Election.

Friendly reminder to ignore all "alt-lite" personalities like Cerno, Posobiec; at this point the are just trying to save their brand from potentially 4 years of irrelevancy.

So, on to the thread. /1 of 13
There is a persistent alt-right meme that "Drumpf lost the WWC," a meme entirely based on exit polls (which are terrible this year) and results in the Midwest. Given those results are major sus for reasons you can find on your own, let's look at the areas we can verify...
So let's look at a few counties that show "WWC support" and judge the battlefield as it stands.

Did Trump lose the WWC in wide margins? Or is something else going on?
Donald Trump in 2016 flipped Elliott county, a 99% white mainly lower income county for the first time in over a century.

Guess how he did in the same county this year?

*Better*

He gained almost 5 points while Joe dropped 2 from Hillary.
Ok well it's a Muh Deep Red State right, so let's look at Indiana where the margin was slightly tighter than 2016.

Vigo county has historically voted for the winner in every single Presidential election since 1908 with the exception of 1952, *although* it was only off by 0.1!
Well Drumpf bottom dropped there by *squint* 0.1.

Hmm, well that's odd.

Ok Indiana is a muh red state too, (even though all these counties are very similar to midwestern counties that have WWC and would deliver the election every time) so one more
Alright, Mahoning County in Ohio, home to Youngstown, very white, very working class, etc. ALWAYS VOTES DEM, even in GOP wave years.

…. except this year
For whatever reason the WWC that supposedly hated Drumpf so badly in WI/PA/MI..... liked him here. He lost it by 3 to Hillary, won it by 2 here.

Last time we won it was Nixon in 72, Eisenhower in 1956, all landslides.
BONUS!

Trump won Kenosha county by *more than he did last time* Looking at the other WI outer counties, he did what he needed to do without losing too much in the suburbs.... the only odd point is of course Milwaukee....

I dare not even mention PA and MI for analysis.
So when the Pedros, Jacks, Cernos, Curts, and others of the world tell you that "DRUMPF AND TAX CUTS AND ISRAEL AND *rant here*" lost Trump that very crucial support among white working class men I ask...

Where?
in some counties he did better, others did worse, but all evened out save the Bellwethers I mentioned here where Trump either dropped *very little* or improved.

It suggests Trump didn't "lose the white working class" and those that say that didn't look or care...
If such people would like to have a discussion about this subject, go ahead let's have one! But for said people to clash with antifa in DC and then scream when Trump doesn't immediately run out of the White House like Superman and then claim "THIS IS WHY YOU LOST"

just leave
The remnants of the Ever Online Right is a discussion for another time. In the meantime feel free to share this thread and discuss. If you think I'm wrong, let's talk it out! I am accepting of fair criticism and look forward to debates.
