Finally, Moore suggested that his readers run for political office themselves. “I’m not saying you have to be the next Senator from Michigan, but why not run for State Rep. or school board or city council?” Moore wrote. “At the very least, run for precinct delegate in the local Democratic Party. It’s time to stop carping about politicians and become one. But a different kind of one!”

Moore made headlines after the presidential election because of a pre-election forecast that not only predicted Trump’s victory, but specifically foresaw that he would capture Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin in a “Rust Belt Brexit.” Despite deploring Trump himself, Moore pointed out that his fellow Midwesterners would empathize with the Republican candidate’s populist economic message.

“He’s said (correctly) that the Clintons’ support of NAFTA helped to destroy the industrial states of the Upper Midwest,” Moore pointed out. “Trump is going to hammer Clinton on this and her support of TPP and other trade policies that have royally screwed the people of these four states. When Trump stood in the shadow of a Ford Motor factory during the Michigan primary, he threatened the corporation that if they did indeed go ahead with their planned closure of that factory and move it to Mexico, he would slap a 35 percent tariff on any Mexican-built cars shipped back to the United States. It was sweet, sweet music to the ears of the working class of Michigan, and when he tossed in his threat to Apple that he would force them to stop making their iPhones in China and build them here in America, well, hearts swooned and Trump walked away with a big victory that should have gone to the governor next-door, John Kasich.”

Moore’s article also identified Hillary Clinton’s flaws as a candidate, the depressed Bernie Sanders vote, racism, sexism, and general voter mischievousness as reasons that would result in Trump’s victory.
