I’m from ~the heartland~, and I assure you that Trump voters knew damn fucking well what they were doing. We’re not a bunch of dumb hayseeds who are innocent of what we do because we’re too fucking stupid and backwards to know how an election works, and therefore anybody who criticizes us is just a soulless cosmopolitan elitist. People have smartphones, there are newspapers that aren’t just yellow journalism rags, and more than that there are good people who were smart enough to see what’s going to happen, amd who have been fighting for what’s right all along. If there’s one attitude that really strikes me as clueless elitism, it’s the idea that everyone there must be coddled from being called on bigotry because we’re all too hopelessly primitive and stupid to know any better
