I literally wrote a post to my buds holding forth on why the race went as it did. It included what we (conservatives) had gained, and what they (liberals) had done, and what that implied. Long and detailed.
But to look like a smarty pants I wrote it yesterday. And I wrote it assuming that Clinton had won.
You are far from alone, MrMind.
Looking back, there were things that should have clued me in. Most notably, when people were scoffing at a “phantom” Trump vote I was shifting uneasily in my chair, because three of my liberal buds had confided in me that they’d be voting Trump this year, but couldn’t admit it because their social circle viewed that as a mortal sin.
I told myself that anecdote != data, that websites can’t be wrong.

Brexit was the biggest clue. The Trumpocalypse is basically, just a repeat of the Brexit voting patterns.
