Tina Fey pretty much nails one aspect...

"The thing that I kinda keep focusing on is the idea that we sort of need to hold the edges, that it's sort of like a lot of this election was turned by kinda white college-educated women who would now maybe like to forget about this election and go back to watching HGTV and I would want to urge them to like 'You can't look away.' Because it doesn't affect you this minute but it's going to affect you eventually."

And that's how I see it as well...ya'll can go back to your HGTV, white privilege, and one issue voting, but you own this now!

I know lots of college educated white women, including myself and everyone in my family.
Not a single one for us voted for Trump.

As a matter of fact I'm not sure if I know anyone who voted for him.
For sure none of my friends or co-workers did.

Instead of playing victim for not getting enough attention or giving others attention.

“Politics and prostitution have to be the only jobs where inexperience is considered a virtue. In what other profession would you brag about not knowing stuff? “I’m not one of those fancy Harvard heart surgeons. I’m just an unlicensed plumber with a dream and I’d like to cut your chest open.” The crowd cheers.”
― Tina Fey, Bossypants
