A sad day for democracy. All those who voted for The Great Unhinged© because they want a Strong Man as president will reap Menken's fury. So will the rest of us who wanted no such thing.
Which brings us to an early (likely incomplete), post-mortem: how come? While all the numbers aren't in, it's clear that the Latino vote abandoned the Democrats. And, why would that be? I've long harbored a distrust, in the political sense only, of that bloc. The reason is that most of Latin America has a history, and currency, of autocratic rule are worst, and one party control at best, energized democracy not so much. Thus immigrants from such countries are enured to the likes of The Great Unhinged©. And they voted that way. Irregardless of the simple fact that political support has always come from the Dems and The Great Unhinged© blamed them for the ills of the USofA!! "Poisoning the blood" and all that. That's cognitive dissonance that boggles the mind. Whether the Latino bloc has pulled off Jill Stein 2016 is not yet clear, but they put a big dent in Commie Law and the Junk Yard Dog©'s total. The answer will pop up in the news soon enough. One has to wonder how many of these legal MAGA Latinos will end up being deported? Just like the VA 'illegal' voters who were actually legal. I hope it's millions.
The other conundrum: of the 10 states voting on abortion, 7 passed and 1 'abstained'
Here are the passed:
Missouri - Trump
Nevada - ?
Montana - Trump
Arizona - ?
Colorado - Harris
Maryland - Harris
New York - Harris
Nebraska implicitly defeated 6 week ban by keeping the 12 week ban (for now) and a majority passed the viability amendment, but by less than the 12 week and thus lost; quite a catch, that catch-22.
A good deal of cognitive dissonance on display. Not enough, on this basis alone, to give her the White House.
The Big Question: will all this reactionary shit cause significant brain drain in these antebellum shithole states? One can only hope.
