honestly this post is ironic.
Reality is racism, xenophobia and all hate is disgusting but the point is liberals have done a disservice to people that actually suffer from this by throwing the terms around so "liberally" . the vote was the backlash from hard working Americans that support conservative policies and are tired of being marginalized unfairly.
So sooner liberals realize the frustration sooner you will be able to diagnose why you are in this position.

Lotta hard truths in here.
Couldn't help but snicker comparing the first paragraph to your smug "two parent" mantra that nobody disagrees with, but still, important for liberals who want to win elections to consider.

This is a complete misdiagnosis of the problem for liberals. Liberals aren't courting marginalized Americans that support conservative policies. Liberals are courting moderates and progressives. Liberals and progressives have championed anti-racist, anti-homophobic, and anti-xenophobic causes for several decades now. What they've started to ignore is economic policy. Nobody likes to be called a racist, sexist, or xenophobe. I mean if the shoe fits (*cough* president-elect *cough*), but still. That's not the takeaway. This is just more policing language PC nonsense. Hate speech should be called out and dissented against liberally.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Working class whites don't need to consider social justice issues if they don't want to, they focus on the issue that is most pressing in their life, which is economic. Hillary never had a clear convincing economic message, so those voters stayed home, or voted for Trump.No doubt they are courting as many voters as they can. The problem is they lost a lot of voters who voted for Obama in the last election. And many of those were middle class to poor rural white voters. The people Clinton called "deplorable". I get that she only meant the openly racist ones. I suspect they didn't get this. They're preached at about white privilege as they drive around in a 1988 Chevy Chevette with one spare tire and duct tape on the window. It makes no difference if they are better off than the inner city African American kid in Detroit. They've watched their communities slowly erode over the last 20-30 years. Clinton lost counties in Wisconsin that have not voted GOP in over 50 years. She saw vast swings in the voting percentages Obama wracked up four and eight years ago losing 15, 18, 20 points in many counties relative to what he posted. A typical Republican couldn't make that happen because he or she would not have offered these voters the idea that free trade had screwed them over big time. Trump, in spite of not because of his bat shit crazy rhetoric on various groups of people, reshaped the electorate by speaking to the economic concerns of these voters. Imagine what the results may have been without all the hate talk? Perhaps even worse for Clinton.

That picture is in black and white likely because there was no color photography at the time it was taken.
Is that how photography works? In any event, I guess that hate speech didn't start with Sharpton and Jackson. TheReff must have misspoken.
Hate speech starts with Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson I might add. Trump is very much a progressive who wants this country to be better than it is--lower taxes for all, lower corporate taxes so people like lib Warren Buffet won't take his companies like Tim Horton to Canada for an inversion where the corporate tax rate is better. Trump wants to get manufacturing back in the U.S., in states like Michigan, Ohio & North Carolina where liberal policies have left cities such as Detroit bankrupt. Get people off welfare rolls and help themselves so they can stop having babies to make themselves money. Make people take drug tests to keep qualifying for welfare & food stamps so the state gov't can make sure OUR money is not being squandered on drugs & alcohol. Simple stuff like that.
