It is interesting you got downvoted. I didn't see any insulting or obscene words in your comment (unlike in other posts). I think it is rather indicative of the process you mention. "I am so angry, so I'll just downvote and run" > So rather then introspection and analyzing why they lost working class voters (black, white, etc.) why are so many people mesmerized on this one theme? Yes, you said it better than me. > I think it's to feel better by believing the result is not "legitimate". Interestingly someone was asking the other day how come the right has all these conspiracy theory, where are the left conspiracy theories? (And I am being generous here painting Hillary as the "left", but that's for another comment). And I couldn't think of any right away. Maybe the idea is the minority resorts to dismissive conspiratorial thinking. It is used as an explanation for why things don't work the way they hope. Perhaps we are seeing an inkling of that happening.
