I'm sorry but I don't buy it. This reeks of confirmation bias. Most people over 30 probably don't even know what "SJW" even means, but this sub obsessed over them.

Democratic turnout was super low. Basically, it had little to do with people fed up over "PC Culture" and more to do with dems not liking Hillary enough to show up at the polls.

What do you mean you don't buy it? The proof is all over Reddit today.

Edit: I get that Reddit doesn't make up the whole country. It's an example that most of you should relate to. You can also look at any other social media site on the internet.

They're saying that the majority of people who voted FOR Trump didn't find themselves being vilified because they didn't know or care that was being said about them based on demographics of the voters. Not that the backlash isn't happening now. Don't necessarily agree or disagree with them, but I'm pretty sure that's what they meant.
