Hence us not seeing that trump was winning. That and the dem campaign was awful, it was 90% fear mongering people to vote, which is horrible for incentive. But yea, pretending "uneducated white poor people" are the ONLY people who voted for trump or the only reason he won is naive and just wrong.

I didn't say that uneducated white people were the ONLY people who voted for Trump. They did however win him the vote - they constitute a huge part of the American population and they were manipulated by a demagogue spewing populist ideology. Not because SJWs on social forums are attacking 'free speech' (btw right wing outlets actually do this more, e.g. Breitbart, Milo Yiannopoulos and Katie Hopkins).
These are people who live in the forgotten wastelands of America. Yes there is a problem with metropolitan lefties who have had access to a good education and live in exciting multicultural cities becoming disconnected from the reality of the rest of the world. However to blame them for Trump winning is idiotic.
Trump won because: people are scared of Islam, economic stagnation historically causes hatred of immigrants and because people are fed up with the political establishment.
