Re: Why the progressives (liberals) lost the election?
Arrogance and stupidity. You can recover and learn from a mistake, but what they continue to do is no mistake. They own being dead wrong and double down on it. They insult anyone who disagrees with them like they are unquestionable royalty and everyone else are unworthy peasants.
"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

It has to be a higher power of some sort. It has to be God as the left had everything rigged in their favor.

Yes, Me thinks God made it obvious the chance for Trump was zero. This made his election a modern miracle and obviously could have only happened through his interference.

You forgot a big one. They rolled over Bernie Sanders like a steamroller, a lot of liberals became very bitter about it and voted Trump. Just my opinion. Either they voted third party, Trump, or just stayed home because they couldn't bear to vote for Hillary.

Re: Why the progressives (liberals) lost the election?
Arrogance and the media. Anyone listening to the MSM in the US or abroad was told for months that Hillary was heading for a landslide. Anyone that wasn't completely partisan could see that the media was too heavy on anti Trump rhetoric to the point of making shit up, while treating Clinton like an angel. People aren't stupid. The fake polling and fake news of Hillary's certain victory caused anyone not behind Hillary to show up to vote, and a lot of die hard Hillary fans didn't think their vote was needed so they stayed home. Both the Dems and the media are so used to being above everything that they lost total touch with the masses and it bit them in the ass. They thought money could buy everything and they thought they owned our opinions. They still can't face up to their failure. Watching the snowflake media melt on election night was one of the high points of 2016 for me, and I'm not even American.

Well first and foremost American's are turning their backs on Globalism, and because the neo-libs over played their hand over theses last eight years people are finally realizing that their Socialist Utopia has consequences that effect every facet of our lives, after all someone has to pay for it...

Secondly Hillary's unlikability killed her chances, and the Media unintentionally helped Trump's believe it or not. The rigged polls they were showing people every day backfired on them, instead of disheartening Trump supporters into staying home on election day it gave an excuse to the Bernie Sanders democrats to stay home that day, hell Hillary was a shoe-in anyway, why should they waste their time voting for someone they didn't really like that much...

The media simply outsmarted themselves, and that's the part I love the best about this election, they live in an insulated bubble are dumbfounded when they realize that the American people don't think as they do...

Why the progressives (liberals) lost the election? Choose the best single response.

1. they were so arrogant they refused to listen to anyone except themselves.
2. They were so aggressive, people stopped trying to debate them rationally.
3. People told them only what they wanted to hear and kept the truth to themselves.
4. They thought it fair to protect favored minorities and ignore other minorities.
5. They protected the rights of the forces that wish to destroy civilized society.
6. They freely demonize, criticize, and demean unprotected people groups: JohnnyLunchbox, trailer-trash.
7. They owned education, media, business, banks, entertainment but not the hearts of the people.
8. Opposing opinions were silenced through intimidation, ridicule, violence, lack of fair play.
9. Used the legal and political system to attack beliefs they could not silence.
10. The internet.

Re: Why the progressives (liberals) lost the election?
My reasoning is different from the poll with the exception of one. My focus is aimed at the typical politician. I could care less, in general, about some liberal "snowflake" and their reason why they believe the way they believe. If they have this rooted desire to go save the world and feel better about it, let them! As I said, my aim was at the politician when I voted for the current President. The liberal machine, as a whole, is nothing more than a bunch of lying, cheating criminals. You could watch it in the faces of those that support progressive notions. Why any one of the millions of liberal supporters could not see that is beyond me. Their ideas about freedom is skewed and should be more to the point of supporting someone with JFK ideology (not entirely, but for the most part). Not sad, pathetic, socialist losers like obama or hillary.

However...

Not done yet.

My view of the conservatives is equal to that of the liberals. They too, are nothing more than a bunch of lying, cheating criminals. Remember what happened when the campaigning was 2/3s of the way through to election day? The republican party (comprising mostly of conservatives) was a snip away from disowning their candidate. Why? Because they were concern that Mr Trump was a man of his word (I view him more as an independent). "Drain the swamp" is a catch-phrase that got my attention as well as millions of other voters. I hope President Trump is a man of his word. I hope he brings despair to both the lying, cheating criminals that represent progressives as well as conservatives in our government and our schools. The lying and cheating must stop for the betterment of ourselves and our nation!!!

God save this nation for the express purpose of maintaining true Freedom in this world!
