No one cares if owning cows are illegal, yoga pants are illegal, teen driving is illegal, or smoking is illegal. The problem is what happens when your job is banned, the government steals your house, tortures your family, or sends you to the concentration camps.

Are you just going to take it?

Dude, you got to get off the 1% thingy (a well known liberal meme). Half of the 1% wanted Jeb Bush. The other half of the 1% wanted Hilary Clinton and the 40 some % wanted Trump.

According to these articles, the poorer people still voted for Clinton, and the rich were evenly split.

Mrs Clinton had the majority of voters on lower incomes, with 52% of those on incomes below $50,000 (£40,000) a year supporting her compared with 41% voting for her opponent. Among those earning more than $50,000, it was 49% to Mr Trump compared with 47% to Mrs Clinton.

"Broken down by income bracket, 52% of voters earning less than $50,000 a year – who make up 36% of the electorate – voted for Clinton, and 41% for Trump.

But among the 64% of American voters who earn more than $50,000 a year, 49% chose Trump, and 47% Clinton."

It's true though that the Democrats' share of wealthy voters have increased in the 2012 and 2016 elections, because they are more educated and more diverse than in the past. And education level has become a more important factor in peoples' vote.

Up through 2008, this is how it looked:

But this Vox article said they were evenly split in 2012.

This site says the rich (not the 1% but those making $100,000 or more), voted for Romney:
