Hillary Clinton didn't lose because she stood up for all this it is noble, and the people are just a bunch of unworthy, ignoble bigots.
She lost because she was the ultimate symbol of the political establishment and a status quo that has ground the average working class person under it's heel for the last 30 years. She lost because, no matter what she said, her 'message' was already written in 20 years of policy that has ignored regular people and serviced the wealthy class. People were obviously sick of it eight years ago when Obama won on 'Hope', and vague promises that he would fight this rigged system. They're even more sick of it today.
Donald Trump didn't really win this election, so much as Hillary Clinton lost it. And that loss was a giant middle finger from the working class generally, and a vote of no confidence in a self-serving political establishment.
