Aww geez, Facebook is starting to show me posts from a year ago where I was openly predicting a Sanders v. Jeb GE

Jeb I get, Sanders I never predicted. Bernie never had the kind of organization necessary for a real upset.

It was a blind hope, before he soured me and before the race really started. I've been happy with Clinton since day 1 so the Dem race was never that exciting for me

The shame is that, at this point last year, I was actively ignoring FL posters saying how dumb Jeb! is

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

also the same addresses have been parked with gingrich instead of flynn and probably the other possibilities too

as a rule, either the campaign parks every possible domain they might need (even if they probably won't need most of them) or some random parks them. in the trump case it's probably the latter since they're all different names and also trump's team is incompetent

Yeah but it's not a "circle the wagons, we're gonna be outnumbered!" urgency motivating it. That's a weirdly proactive narrative to ascribe to the situation. White people are turning to Trump as a reaction to demographic changes that have been underway for decades, not as a proactive measure to ward off some future racial catastrophe.

White people are turning to Trump as a reaction to demographic changes that have been underway for decades, not as a proactive measure to ward off some future racial catastrophe.

The Racist White Male demographic has been extremely panicked the last 8 years. They signed on with the Republicans specifically because they were promised they'd retain their privilege. They feel cheated and have turned on the party establishment as a result. Now with Hillary as the presumptive Democratic nominee to replace him, they're in full flight.

So they've flocked to Trump for his overt xenophobia and racism right now because of Obama's election and they don't know where to turn. The Republicans may have been able to climb down from their cliff without that trigger (not likely, but still a chance) as long as white males were being elected.
