It wasn't so much that Trump won as that Hillary lost. If you want to defeat Trump there needs to be an alternative people can care about and feel is on their side. That wasn't Hillary, and it isn't any of the Hillary corporate clones. Channel Bernie or somebody like hm and you can win.
Not all older white folks voted for Trump. I know a few who are related to me--by marriage. What they have in common is a low level of education and at least two have a history with cheating husbands. One I know for certain was sexually abused by a family member. There is a sense that men are just horn dogs and a woman needs to accept that, and placate where possible and avoid what cannot be placated and to accept women's lot as such. Also a strong anti abortion and conservative religious mindset. At the same time, I know quite a number of very religious women who abhor Trump and everything he stands for. Same generation of women, fwiw.
I don't actually believe the polls with regards to the demographics of Trump voters, although the ones I know are not well educated and are conservative and profess Christianity.
I remember thinking that many women who were saying they were gonna vote for Trump would go into the voting booth and actually vote against him. It was inconceivable to me that the pig would get more than, hell, I don't know, 25% of the female vote. He's the asshole who fucked and dumped women; the kind of prick who cheats on every woman he's ever been in a relationship with; the ass grabbing buffoon; the pervert boss who cops feels every chance he gets; the filthy fuck you'd never want your daughter to be involved with; the kind of man you'd never want your so to be.
How fucking naive was I to think that all of those things would make most women reflect on their own experiences and vote against him?
Oh well, like with god-belief, smart people can still think and do stupid things.

Agreed. I pondered on it quite a bit upon reading the election results. This may sound strange, but one thing that occurred to me was that if you compare Donald Trump with Christian Grey, the guy in 50 Shades of Grey (probably the most read book by white women in recent history), you see a lot of similarities. Wealthy, tall, high status, famous, powerful, confident, cocky, sexually aggressive, likes his women young...the classic alpha male. Though, admittedly DT is lacking in youth and looks at this point in his life. I think CG even had his own helicopter too, just like Trump. Perhaps, despite his many obvious fatal flaws, the women subconsciously consider Donald some sort of proxy for Christian Grey and voted for him due to a psycho-sexual fascination with him. Just a theory.

MOST women did vote against him, or at leasts did not vote for him.

I think you need to quit believing the promotional blurbs on the backs of books.
Trump’s remarks drew laughter from Stern’s female co-host, Robin Quivers, and Trump ultimately indicated that his ultimatum to Melania was not entirely serious.
“If there’s cellulite, will you be man enough to stay in the relationship?” Stern asked at one point.
“I will,” Trump answered. “I will love her so much. You have no idea. I’m a very loyal person. I will love her so much.”
Not really. Not at all in fact.
