life easier for Billionaires.

There's a reason it's been compared to the chickens voting for Colonel Sanders.

I've seen a few deplorables say something like that - they knew they were going to get screwed by Trump, but they were happy because black and brown people would get screwed even more.

I really hope that there are a lot of white people that voted for tRUMP that are going to hurt. They deserve it for voting this piece of shit into office! I don't want the black people to suffer because they most likely didn't vote for this POS.

Great people, but education is not a priority and too much religion in people's heads.

I've also lived in Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Indiana, and Calif. Some of the most backward, racist assholes lived in Calif., IN, and OH. I moved back to KY 4 years ago.

Don't blame tRump's win on all of us here. I suspect a lot of non-voters here, so 62% of those who did vote doesn't mean much. Plenty of racism, but much more apathy.

Could've stopped this from ever happening and yet a state with just 8 electoral votes is bashed to no end. Even if Ky had not been so foolish to vote for Trump. He still would've won oh wait I mean stole the election. A combination of Florida and any other state would've stopped this or even without Florida a combination of MI,PA and Wisconsin would've done it, but Kentucky.
