This is why I'm not engaging with the meltdown on my Facebook feed. If it doesn't change in a week or two I'm hoping in but for now there's no point in peeing on their Cheerios (or non-Cheerios).

Gems on reddit that explain why the vote went this way:

'This cannot be overstated. I'm a Southerner, born and raised, but I got friends from all over the US. A friend of mine from Pennsylvania once went on a drunken rant to a mutual friend about how the South holds America back from being great because it's full of stupid white trash rednecks. I don't speak to that cat anymore, not because it hurt my feelings, he's entitled to his opinion, but why would I want to be friends with someone who thinks that of me? I mean, that's some real hate in his heart.
What I hate is how this whole PC culture forces division. You either believe this, or you believe that. It leaves no room for actual nuanced, intellectual discourse. It's stupid. I can believe that sometimes cops can be too aggressive while holding the not contradictory belief that sometimes civilians could conduct themselves in a less threatening manner. I can believe that racism still exists in parts of this country while holding the not contradictory belief that we're not all intrinsically racist. I can believe that in certain aspects much work is still to be done to get the races working together while holding the not contradictory belief that each race needs to be held accountable for the damage its done to itself and to race relations.'

'ad hominem was the demise of the liberal campaign'

'I looked at my Facebook feed today and it was literally 99% anger from Hillary supporters villifying anyone who voted for Trump or doesn't think he's the next Hitler. I'm too sheepish to say a damn thing in defense of my vote but I don't regret it one bit.
When discourse nearly uniformly is united against a candidate and he still wins, that's an indication that something is wrong with the conversation being had.'

Things to consider for the DNC. People are tired of SJWs overrunning everything.
