This is probably banal but my guess is that every Trump voter feels oppressed for individual reasons that can't easily be changed - existential fear, awful coworkers, nagging family, parental abuse, whatever - and Trump provides false but collective outlets for that vague feeling of disenfranchisement. The Weimar Republic was nominally free and democratic, but civil society was abusive to a degree that is unimaginable today. Then Hitler came along and blamed all that abuse on the jews, and suddenly everyone knew what to do with their pent-up rage.

Omitted for poor command of the English language; also banal.

Great that we've identified brown people not voting the way they were supposed to as a major factor in this farce.

The photo of Obama and Trump is so damn heartbreaking. Dude literally spent his entire life shitting all over everybody and making up conspiracy theories about them and never once had to pay the price.

It’s rare, but members of the Electoral College sometimes break their pledges about whom they planned to vote for. There have been 157 faithless electors since the founding of the Electoral College in 1787

from the newsweek piece just upthread, it may be fantasy but at any rate "Faithless Electors" is a killer band name
