I would not say it cost her the election, but it is part of the overall picture. This is the exact kind of thing that enrages us, but we see so much disrespect for the flag and for authority nowadays. Trump speaks to us, he gives us hope that America can be as great as it ever was. We're fed up with the way things have been going.
This. I agree with what Kaepernick did, he has a right to have free speech, but it rubs the wrong way. Will he do that again this coming Sunday? At this point, the 49ers aren't doing so well. They're 1-7. Can it be because he is so focused on activism? I don't know.
This is a mildly centrist electorate. People are tired of the PC crap. Enough. White privilege exists, but don't pound it everyday to angry whites. It causes more divisions. Period. 13% of black male voters voted for Trump. They as well are fed up. Fed up. Period. The Left needs soul-searching and
going more left to attract snowflake millennials who can't grasp reality won't cut it. Period. I'm still shocked that Trump won, but I'm slowly coming to grips with it.
