We knew that race and misogyny were the key factors....oh, and throw in xenophobia and homophobia too.

From the article:

"The one-two punch of Obama’s presidency and Trump’s candidacy sent a clear signal to voters what the parties stood for: diversity on one side, resentment on the other. Trump built upon a decades-long campaign to erase support for the safety net by racializing government programs but extended it further by openly demonizing people of color."
