This should tell you that yes, the economy was in fact the most important issue on the ballot, not putting women in their place.

That's the point. Maybe if people gave a shit about the actual policies they voted in instead of believing republicans waving their hands and saying "economy." We wouldn't end up where we will:

A fascist dictatorship, where your civil liberties are stripped away, corporations have more power, and the middle and working classes are just as bad, if not worse off.

IMO: If you only voted for trump based on the economy you deserve to face the worst of what this regime is about to bring. If you're not willing to pay attention to the world around you, stay the fuck out of the voting booth.
