3 events that led to Trump's win

1) Ferguson - everything leading up to, during, and after. It showed that blacks are no longer willing to 'stay in their place.'

2) Keystone pipe demonstrations and the outpouring of support. It showed that Native Americans are no longer willing to 'stay in their place.'

3) HRC becomes a woman candidate for US president of a major political party. It showed that women are no longer willing to 'stay in their place.'

White males - and some of those supported by them - began to realize there were 3 groups of people who are no longer willing to acknowledge them as their superiors. This state of affairs was simply unacceptable and had to be stopped cold.

Trump is the result of white male fear. That is why his base is so loyal... fear and bigotry.
