Does anyone else find this incredibly tone deaf, particularly after last night&amp;#x27;s results?&lt;p&gt;To be clear, I did not vote for Trump, but my rejection of his candidacy was certainly not based on the stance of the LA Times editorial board. To be honest, with the amount of biased and sloppy journalism I read from even the venerated newspapers like the LA and NY Times, I&amp;#x27;m not sure why the author assumes anyone should listen to the suggestions of their respective editorial boards.</text></comment>

Voters didn&amp;#x27;t vote for Trump because they read some fake news story on Facebook, they voted for him out of economic desperation. They weren&amp;#x27;t tricked or mislead into it.</text></comment>
