2/2, from above

HRC's explanation of her loss (with which I agree about 85%) didn't mention the real, tangible values or needs that Trump supporters seem to have from their vision of both government and leader.  It's easy to write off 40% of voters as stupid, ignorant, blind, anti-intellectual racists, but not understanding what this group expects from their government may be what got us in this giant pickle in the first place.  

Realistically, the legislators these people have elected control both House and Senate -- and now the Presidency.  I think we're acting as ostriches (and are doomed to further defeat) if we don't figure out what is so crucial about their agenda that they can effect this control.  

I completely support every liberal effort made in both state and federal governments, but I can't say I understand the other side's POV one bit -- and I don't think I'm alone in lefty-world in this. Maybe it's time we investigated and analyzed "the others'" needs and wants.
