10. White identity and ignorance.

It isn't that white folks who voted for Trump didn't hear Clinton's message; it's that they rejected it. If you look at what Clinton campaigned on, had a Clinton Administration actually been able to enact all of those policies, the US would be well on its way to becoming a social democracy on par with those of northern Europe. The Democratic Party platform is as progressive as it's ever been, socially and economically.

Those who voted for Trump are worthy of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, TANF, food stamps and so on. But 'other' people are not. Those 'other' people are just lazy...oh, and they happen to be persons of color when conjured up in the imagination.

And some probably don't even realize or accept that they have Medicaid because of the ACA. After all, there are people out there who are so ignorant that they oppose Obamacare while supporting the ACA. We shouldn't underestimate just how much ignorance there is in the US at this time. Nor should we underestimate how much racism, sexism, heterosexism, xenophobia and twisted Christian supremacy there is in the US at this time.
