Why didn’t we see it coming? At the time the polls began to close, the supporters of Clinton and Trump believed Clinton would win. They were wrong. Most of us were wrong. We got to watch the truth dawn on our TV commentators and the political establishment. Hillary’s win vanished like a stone thrown in a pond.
The American people elected—to lead the nation and the world—a snorting, vulgar, mental anti-Christ.
We didn’t see it coming because the East Coast political establishments (both parties), their organizers, their expert pundits and their funders, all drink filtered water from the same pool. They attended the same prep schools and universities, studied the same profound texts and ended up repeating identical insights to one another. They lack intellectual diversity.
In the process they lost touch with how mere voters feel about things. A few outsiders warned them. Michael Moore tried to warn them. But who was he compared to the standard elite thinkers they had consulted over the last 40 years? Had he studied the great minds at Princeton, Harvard or Yale? Or even Williams or Tufts?
(Moore dropped out of the University of Michigan-Flint, if you must know. This campus has yet to field even one varsity intercollegiate basketball team. What could Moore possibly know?)
