I ' m a libertarian also not affiliated with either party . I foundfind Trump laughable and ridiculous . I foundfind Hillary repulsive and corrupt . I did not vote for President , but did vote for other things . Democrats love urban areas because those are areas where government programs can be shown to work sometimes . Cities are getting more popular and growing rapidly . Small towns are dying . Young people don ' t often want to live in rural America . Minorities flock to cities to escape racism in rural America and for other reasons . Democrats have chosen to be the party of the city where cultures collide . Why do I think Hillary lost ? A variety of reasons . 1 . She didn ' t excite Democrats . To be fair , the economy has been very mediocre for eight years and automation is scaring people as they look ahead . Yes , I ' m aware of the 2008 financial crisis . 2 . Many many Americans are completely fed up with the excessive political correctness now demanded by a vocal minority . A minority that will play the race card any chance it gets . When South Park makes fun of you for multiple seasons in a row , you should probably realize that you ' ve pushed too far . I ' m all for equal rights in the legal system . I ' m happy that gay marriage was legalized nation wide . I ' m not as happy that businesses are getting figuratively crucified for refusing to bake a cake and I ' m agnostic trending towards atheist . If I ' m looking at the ugly caricature of both parties , I see thisRepublicans are deniers of climate change , deniers of women ' s rights , loose on gun controls , and favor elites with tax policies . Democrats don ' t want competition because it hurts people ' s feelings , want large groups of peoplebusinesses to get sued if they offend just one person , and have become so focused on political correctness that they actually HATE anyone who doesn ' t completely agree with them typically white conservatives . Oh , and they want bigger government and more government control . Do we want an America that treats everyone equally ? Yes absolutely . Do we want to be forced by society to say that Kaitlyn Jenner is stunning and brave ? No . In short , the Democrats went from fighting for people ' s rights to being bullies South Park is dead right about it , and I ' m sorry for referencing a comedy show . Watch Colbert and see an unwavering disgusting bias that panders directly to liberal Democrats . I stopped watching him . The Republicans pushed back , and they won within the system we have . Get over it . The popular vote doesn ' t matter . Get over it . California voters may have seen what I saw early in the night . Holy shit he has a real chance . Hoooooly shit . This may have caused them to get in their cars and go vote . Therefore , the results could be skewed the west coast is blue . Finally , when you over step your boundaries Yes roughly half the country disagrees with you . Yes they get to vote you probably shouldn ' t double down . You should compromise . I know you are proud of your movement , but wake up and realize that winning is what matters . Compromise is going to be necessary . This post will probably barely get read , and will probably piss off any liberals who do read it . But that ' s the problem , I ' m not even your enemy . I ' m just telling you what it looks like from the middle .
