More than hateful, sexist, white, whatever, Trump's success show that a lot of people outside our consultant bubble are chronically uninformed and gullible. The need to be helped not condemned.

This attitude is exactly why trump won. People are tired of being ignored and talked down to. How about some introspection on your part op? I dislike trump btw.

Cmon, you may have hated Hilary or Muslims or whatever and those may have been your reasons for voting for him, but Trump supporters were gullible to think that he would be competent as a President. Or do you think that wall is going to be built? Or do you think that Hilary committed a crime despite being acquitted by the FBI?

'People being talked down to' is legitimate when a whole lot of people made a decision based on misinformation. It's ridiculous. One side debunks untruths with fact and that's seen to be patronizing. There is no equivalence between fact and opinion, only between opinion and opinion

Hillary did maintain classified info on an insecure server and lied about the extent - that is perjury is it not? - comey said it wasn't something he felt he could convict on but that doesn't mean she didn't break the letter of the law.

Also, I voted for Clinton. Stop calling me racist. That's bullshit and it's intellectual cowardice. If you just classify everyone who disagrees with you as racist, then you can go through life without ever taking a look at your self and your own assumptions.

This comment can be taken across both parties not just those who voted for Trump. A lot of working class and blue collar have been strong democratic base historically

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected.
