The first problem in the post-election meltdown I'd like to address is one of baseline rationality.  In any debate, there are two extreme poles, and in between, the middle. Now, the middle can weigh to one side of the graph or the other based on ratios of supporters, or extremity of position.
The problem the so-called "left" faces is that when you talk to them, they make it clear they consider Bernie's Stalinistic state to be "acceptable," and themselves "moderate," by which we are supposed to interpret, "Slightly right."
And anyone to the right of them is extreme, super-extreme, ultra-extreme, hyper-mega-extreme.
Then they go to their Fecesbook echo chamber and block any dissenting view.
They're not only unable to accept a dissenting view. At another level, they can't even fathom it exists.
This is intellectually and morally dishonest, and these people are idiots.
I keep seeing comparisons of "white voters with degrees" vs exit polls for whom voted for whom.
It's an article of faith amongst "liberals" that one cannot be educated without some sort of precious paper, and only that precious paper matters.
They try very hard not to attack black voters without degrees...a majority of whom voted for Hillary.
Apparently, education works differently for blacks and whites.
That sounds racist, and creates a dichotomy for them, except it is a proven fact, and even the Dept Education says so.  But point that out, and it's racist.
Except when it shows at election time, then it's not racist, except blacks and whites are different, except the same.
This is idiotic.
To show how educated these "liberals" are, they circulate a petition to have the electors not vote the way their states dictate, because "Hillary got more votes." You want them to "vote their conscience."
You should have been taught how the Electoral College worked in 5th grade or so. If you believe a petition can change it, you're an idiot. The Electoral College has been in existence for 220ish years, and there have been conflicts between EC and popular vote four previous times, most recently 16 years ago.  If you're not aware of this, or how the Electoral College votes, please don't humiliate yourself by pretending you're "educated."  You're ignorant. And an idiot.
My state's elector's conscience is that of my state.  Neither I, nor they, nor anyone else cares, nor should, what a bunch of burned out hippies and limpwrists in the Bay Area think.  Further, if the EC were to vote based on the bleats of petulant children instead of the electoral process, it would instantly lead to a civil war, which your side would lose.  You're an idiot. You're also assuming that their conscience would agree with yours. That's conceited, shallow and ignorant. You're an idiot.
They bleat about the popular vote, as if it's ever mattered. If you look at say, sports tournaments and find both final teams won the same number of games, but certain games carry more weight.  How about that?
Or Chess, where it doesn't matter how many pieces you still have once your king is checkmated.
Or what about college itself, where exams and papers count more than quizzes? You can have the same number of good grades, but certain grades will give you a higher score. How about that?
You're an idiot.
"More than half the protesters arrested in Portland either were not registered to vote or had not submited a ballot."
They are idiots.
"Most Trump voters aren't educated."  They'll sometimes say "college educated," by which the mean, "Has some sort of degree from somewhere."
I'm going to address this at length.  I know of one who's a retired laser engineer. He has no degree because there was no degree in such when he started in the field in 1971. He went to college, was drafted for Vietnam, came back and went to work for Lumonics/Laserdyne.  When he retired he owned his own shop that did work for Harley, several medical firms, Pratt and Whitney Canada, and others.  It ran three shifts, and he also consulted at $1000/day. He owned a half million dollar house in the Tucson Mountains, an $800,000 Dolphin Catamaran, and a $1 million dollar house on the side of a volcano in Hawaii. But he's "not educated" because he never wrote a paper about his inner struggle of the anima.
You're an idiot.
One is female (ZOMG! How could a female not vote for Hillary? They both have vaginas!) with degrees in International Relations from Johns Hopkins (BA), and American Military University (MA), and is a senior investigator for the Treasury Dept on terorrist money laundering.  But despite that, she's stupid for not voting for Hillary, and has "white male privilege" for voting third party.
You're an idiot.
Another is also female (ZOMG!HCAFNVFH?TBHV!) with degrees in biology (BS) and Information Security (MS), and voted third party, dropping all her...Native American, black and white privilege.
Don't try to libsplain anything to her. She's a certified genius, and you're an idiot.
One barely graduated high school, and is now a senior systems engineer who builds server farms for Nokia, The Weather Channel, etc.  No college. Obviously not educated.
You're an idiot.
Several others have "certificates" in technical trades and crunch calculus for breakfast while analyzing pipelines, steel extrusions, machined componenents undergoing heat treat, etc. But they've not graduated college, so they're not educated.
You're an idiot.
A black gentleman who works at a major government agency in administration, degreed in business.  He voted third party. A white liberal woman accused him of "privilege."
You're an idiot.
One got a degree in philosophy, hacked around as an Industrial DJ for a couple of decades on the brink of starvation, didn't even have music selections for older people at his marriage because, "Blues and rock and oldies are boring and not real music," got divorced, wound up with nothing, finally got bailed out when his father paid for a law degree, and now works overseas as an ESL teacher, insisting that "It's wrong that rich people get better health care than poor people!", which is true in every nation in the world. And then told us about his personal trainer. He voted for Hillary.
He is an idiot.
One wrote an article about how poor people in red states are neglected, and he's correct, and the attitude of the blue cities angers them, and he's correct. But then he went on that to understand them, you have to consider they came from areas that used to own slaves...
More than half the red states never had slaves, and none of them have since 1865.  He's an idiot.
And what do you have to say?
"I can't believe you'd vote for Trump. You must be racist, inbred redneck trash."
If you believe ad homimen is a useful persuasive tactic, you're not only stupid, you're not actually educated, no matter how many crayon sketches you did in college.
"They voted for Trump, who is a racist, sexist, homophobic bigot, instead of a woman."
So, her only value to you is being female? You're a sexist. And an idiot.
"You uneducated rednecks have destroyed the country."
So, not having persuaded anyone with ad hominem, you're doubling down on ad hominem? You're an idiot.
"Exit polls overwhelmingly showed we're smarter than you!"
A: You mean "Better educated" by "Having a degree in the History of French Phaggottry." 2) As we've discussed, that of itself does not make you educated. c} What, you think after you threaten to fire, burn, rape, kill people for not voting correctly, they're going to give an honest answer, or any answer, to someone outside the polls? You're an idiot.  IV] they don't award Voting Points based on education, and if they did, black people would tend to be at a disadvantage, which would be a repeat of the "literacy tests" you Democrats gave to blacks in previous decades. So you're continuing your party's racist roots. And an idiot.
Think about it: If you were actually smarter, you should have been able to form a strategy to beat those poor, benighted, rural white males (who, btw, are a small minority of the population. They couldn't have done it without sizeable chunks of the female, black, Hispanic and Asian vote).  So your argument is poorly thought out, unsupportable, and the mark of an idiot.
Also, there are universities and degrees in the red states, including Texas A&M, Purdue, Notre Dame, Ohio State, U Michigan, Rolla, etc.  Most of them teach much more useful subjects than the crap in the Poison Ivy League.
Someone complained that, "University precincts overwhelmingly voted for Hillary." 
Why would that matter?  You tell me people disconnected from reality voted for her, and I agree.  If only there were people with degrees (or other education) not in those precincts...
You're an idiot.
"Trump's anti-Muslim statements prove he's a racist." 
What "anti-Muslim" statements vs "Anti-terorist" statements? If you see no difference, then you're indicating you're what you claim to be against, and a hypocritical bigot. Also, "Muslim" is a religion, not a race. You're an idiot.
ΓÇ£Sexual aggressiveness with women by an elected official ΓÇö if people have that experience in their own life, thatΓÇÖs upsetting,ΓÇ¥ Michael Reading, director of crisis services at a Seattle-area 24-hour hotline, told the Seattle Times.
"Trump won a bunch of poor, rural counties that don't matter. "
Excuse me, but I thought caring about poor people was a liberal tenet?  You're a hypocritical bigot, and an idiot.
"I'm strongly considering moving to South America." 
You don't speak Spanish, you have few marketable skills, and most countries in South America ban abortion and expect "Traditional" roles for women.  You're an idiot.
"We're holding a cry-in."
If you think crying will accomplish anything positive, and not make you look like a petulant crybaby, you're an idiot. You should be left to starve in the street, because you are worthless, as an individual.
"We'll block the freeway and complain when someone gets hit by a car!"
I guess your education didn't include not playing in traffic.
You are a fucking idiot.
"I'll move to Canada!"
Mexico has everything you want. Gun control. National health care. Pot. So do Cuba and Venezuela. Yet you always pick Canada. Are you racist?  Or just an idiot times an idiot?
Also, Canada has standards of admission for visas, which you probably don't meet.  And you've threatened this in previous elections and didn't follow through.  You're lying. And an idiot.
So, how was it possible that Hillary didn't win?
Because her supporters are overwhelmingly bigoted idiots.
And if that wasn't obvious to you...
You're an idiot.
