Wealthy Princeton professor @esglaude says Americans aren't concerned with economics, only with preserving "whiteness."
Glaude: "There's this sense that whiteness is under threat!"
Ruhle: "Sorry, a lot of people voted because their life's too damn expensive."
Glaude: "I do not believe that. I cannot believe that. .. People don't want to believe what the country actually is, because if they believe it, they're gonna have to confront what's in them. ... They're telling us the BS that it's economics. We know that's not true."

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰
Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites
I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer

Maddow: "What they want least of all is to realize that half the country went to bed sad tonight but then woke up tomorrow fired up with a new sense of purpose knowing that apparently this is what we're on this Earth to do as American citizens in this generation."
But make no mistake, this IS the chief lesson people will take from 2016 + 2024.
Good luck seeing another woman presidential candidate in this lifetime.
I just listened to a podcast in which a male pundit said the lesson Democrats should take away from losing the presidency is to never run a woman at the top of the ticket again. Unbelievable.

For those claiming that misogyny didn’t play a role in the election results, get back to me when you flip a coin and it comes up heads 47 times in a row.
What an enduring joy to be reminded (again and again) that someone who seemed so kind, so cool when you were a kid—
is even MORE kind and cool than you could have known, way back then.
On my way to Philly to do whatever I can on this last weekend of the campaign… #bydhttmwfi
