I mean, look, John Oliver, Samantha Bee, everybody who criticized Trump's buffoonery were perfectly justified in doing so. He's a clown.
But the media really whiffed on understanding rural America's motivations for rolling the dice with a buffoon instead of going along with the status quo. The idea that they're all racist/misogynist/stupid just shows what an echo chamber the media is in. It's inexcusable.

... my parents have their friends over to watch the results and they're wildly pro trump. when i talked to one in the kitchen about why i dislike trump (mentioned that he has feasted on peoples prejudices, etc), she literally interrupted me with a loud "yeah, i hate muslims"
