so back in august when demristocrats started accusing me of defending trump, I was talking about how you were helping him by being dishonest about the things he said. You were helping him win all that time.

I'm down for 4 years of handing Republicans a taste of their own medicine, but I'd give him a honeymoon period. If he signals that he's going to play ball on stuff like infrastructure spending and not throw 20 million people off their health insurance plan, then work with him. If presents a laundry list of Bannon/Hannity/Limbaugh fantasies, then obstruct like hell.

No, people voted Trump because all of the SJW pussies were in a DESPERATE need of an ass kicking.

The level of pussification, "I'm a victim", "everything is offense" had to stop somewhere. Previously conservatives were too nice, too afraid of the media to call out the left for their race baiting. Trump didn't give a fuck and people loved him for it.

Now all the leftists can do is cry "isms! Phobias! Hate!" And all of their typical, non-argument crying. It doesn't work anymore. Wanting borders is not hate. Bragging about fucking bimbos is not rape. Calling some illegal immigrants rapists is not racist.

I can't speak for d357r0y3r, but I don't think you (or Democrats in general) are getting this. It's not that folks in the media didn't raise the alarm about Trump loud enough, or that they weren't willing to call him the bigoted piece of shit that he is. Instead, it's that Democrats and their media-surrogates have leveled this charge against EVERY Republican candidate, no matter who it is, over and over and over and over and over again. They've tried this tactic repeatedly against people to whom it really doesn't apply, such as Mitt Romney or John McCain, or hell, even George W Bush. Those candidates have failings, yes, but they aren't the supposed bigoted monsters that Democrats have repeatedly labeled them as. So when you have an actual threat such as Donald Trump come along, the alarm that Democrats have repeatedly rung fell on the deaf ears of otherwise rational-minded conservative voters. Those voters just ignored the alarm, because it sounded exactly like all the other times that Democrats have called a Republican candidate a bigot when it plainly wasn't so.

Yup. Hear the helicopters again. I'm pretty used it by now, but given that people now have more of a reason to be pissed than just the usual black dude being executed by the police, I'm actually a little more worried this time.

11/10/2016 3:02:03 AM

yeah before it was just people being executed by police but now we might actually have had an election not go the way we wanted it to go shit is real now.

11/10/2016 3:04:35 AM

I don't think some of you on TWW get how pissed the rest of the country is right now. If you're living in red state, you'll be just fine. It's going to get pretty damn ugly if you're in any major city that leans hard to the left. The only way I was really able to talk to my students today and keep them from freaking the fuck out was to go over all the ballot initiatives that passed in CA. Even then, I really didn't have much to tell them other than they're probably safer here than other parts of the country.

11/10/2016 3:16:53 AM

No it won't. It'll pass in a few days because those people most taken aback by this are those who already have the most (urban and suburban educated).

The people who will be angry eventually are all the rural and low educated people who have been conned and whose lives will be just as shitty until we as a people decide it's time to really address their actual problems and not just feed them bullshit like coal and manufacturing will come back (Trump) or just completely ignore them (Republicans and Democrats).

We don't allow dissent in this country, we violently shutdown marches and demonstrations way before they are big enough to he a threat to anything. As long as you don't seek out a demonstration you are not in Kore danger than any other day

11/10/2016 6:56:29 AM

Honestly, I think both major parties need to take a good hard look at themselves and begin rebuilding from the ground up. The Republicans are not vindicated by a Trump win. They were carried by the rise of the alt-right which found a voice with Trump and STILL brought Republicans up short of 2012 vote counts. Obviously the DNC doubled-down on a totally unlikable, untrustworthy, and unpopular candidate, and hoped that the 'Hey she's a woman, and look at the big orange bigoted, chauvinist pig' line would work. Which, in the end, it obviously didn't since around 5 million fewer votes were logged for Clinton.

It begins. I just don't get how people can dismiss Trumps links to Russia while simultaneously KNOWING that Hillary deleted that smoking gun email that proves she cut Chris Stevens' throat.


This is just the first crack in Trumps least transparent campaign in history. Let's hope, as more cracks begin to appear, that it gets a little less treasonous.

Apparently, I suck as at making predictions about anything in 2016, so maybe you're right. I fear the magnitude of electing someone as outspokenly racist and sexist as his isn't just something people will get over in a few days though. I see a lot of people in this thread making excuses for what he said/did during his campaign, but I don't think they quite get the level of terror he's instilled among people of color, LGTB folk, Muslims, and immigrants. He has forty days until he's even in office, so there's plenty of time for all this to reach more of a breaking point.

11/10/2016 10:58:08 AM

He's a despicable human being but he isn't a tyrant. Even if he did want to implement some awful things congress still has a broad constituency they are held accountable to that wouldn't tolerate it.

11/10/2016 11:01:23 AM

ALL moderate republicans in congress are cowards, they won't do shot to stand up to Trump. Hell, most would barely speak up against him during the campaign. The rest of congressional republicans are safely gerrymandered into their tea party districts and are close to as nuts as Trump. No one is gonna stand in his way

To be frank, I dont believe much will change. Yes Obamacare may get repealed (depends on the alternative proposed), but rural and uneducated whites will still struggle to find jobs and remain left behind as the economy continues to move to high-tech. Hell, even service jobs are going to become harder and harder to find thanks to automation. This isnt the fault of any politician, its economic Darwinism. Doesnt matter if you stop unskilled immigration because jobs are slowly going away anyways. These people are angry and they blame the government. What better way to stick it to the "man" by electing this guy. In a couple of years they will realize that he cant do anything either. At that point it will be interesting to see who these white people blame and how they express their frustration.

If they're scared, it's because they've believed lies repeated by social media/celebrities/etc. There aren't going to be death squads. Where on this page is "summarily execute all non-white people": https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies

I have no sympathy for liberals that couldn't be bothered to leave their echo chamber and have now become hysterical. Absolutely none. You're living in a land of delusion, and now reality is crashing down. Hey, Trump may have even won because liberals convinced themselves that it was going to be a landslide victory for Clinton. Just go back 3 days in this very thread and you'll find several pages full of people predicting not if Clinton was going to win, but by how much.

No, they are scared because they have personally experienced discrimination, racing profiling/abusive policing, and or stereotyping in their own lives and Trump's campaign centered on ramping up those fears. Y'all white males should probably chill with all the brosplaining about how minorities are supposed to feel right now.

He's not? He's treated his employers fairly, paid them all for their work, and not abused his power? I get that you think it's more productive to give him a chance right now, but that's completely out of the question for a ton of people, just like for some people who refused to give a Obama a shot when he won. The difference is that Obama didn't run a campaign on fear- it was the antithesis actually: Hope and Change.

Again, I'm going to try and chill with making any real predictions right now. I just see a bunch of people acting like everything is going to be fine, when none of us really know what's going to happen yet. People are allowed to feel whatever they want right now, and it's a little patronizing to suggest to those who are afraid need to calm down- as if they have some crystal ball and know what's next.
