“Donald wins: ‘Deplorables’ trump Clinton”
That’s how I feel about it.
I could have told Hillary about how racist Wisconsin is, having experienced it myself, and that the so-called white elite women there (whom she depended on for votes) are as racist as the white working class people.
As for the rust belt, Michael Moore (who came from the working class there and knows the people well) has a good explanation of how they went for Trump:

Not sure if those who voted for Trump want to have Social Security and Medicare cut or reduced (in exchange for tax breaks mostly for the rich), but they’d probably agree with having Medicaid and other programs for the poor cut out, and no help for the poor to go to college.
And of course sending undocumented parents back to Mexico, so their US-born children and spouses (who are unable to work now bec they have to care for the kids) go onto welfare…which will be cut, of course. So no problem to the elites classes in that department, since they’ll be getting tax breaks.
