She's terrified for her sons, too.

ErIog posted:I know a lot about the e-mail controversy and about the Clinton Foundation conspiracy theories, and even I can't parse what's supposed to be scandalous about these exchanges. Judicial Watch literally exists to FOIA every single thing Hillary does and has been doing this for years. If they don't release SOMETHING then I guess their funding starts to dry up so  They're likely the reason Clinton went for the private server in the first place, so them not understanding that the reason she would force them to FOIA something mundane instead of handing it over being "because gently caress you, that's why" instead of "because I'm hiding terrible secrets" is doubly funny

computer parts posted:The original silent majority were the people who didn't make a huge ruckus on the news (like the hippies et all) but voted in such large numbers that their policies got put into place. The original silent majority was middle class white people who didn't care much for hippies, protesters, or minorities. Thankfully they've died out and been replaced by hippies, protesters, and minorities. The demographics that put Nixon into power don't exist anymore. White people as a singularly meaningful demographic group barely exist anymore. We've started having to break white people down by gender and education in order to draw any real conclusions.

Trump calling someone a oval office won't do it, especially if it's Hillary. He needs to call someone a friend of the family. You have to figure his reptile brain is always second away from doing so. How long can the floodgates hold? I want there to be zero deniability for Trump and his supporters.

I can't imagine very many board games where somebody like Clinton wouldn't totally take my rear end to school without trying. She's extremely good at what she does, which is why you see so many polls saying, "I don't necessarily think she's trustworthy, but I think she'd be a fine president" Also the white middle class not only shrank, but it voted itself into poverty in the 80's so now they're the white working class lmao.

iospace posted:What exactly did he do? He cut himself off after saying the word "government," in a way that kind of, if you were listening over a low quality cell phone line from the bottom of the sea, sounded like "friend of the family." So everyone decided Rick Santorum was a klansman and it was the stupidest loving thing ever that made everyone look like overly-partisan fools. Comparing that to Donald Trump is ridiculous. The Santorum thing required so many leaps of logic. Donald Trump is re-tweeting white supremacist memes from white supremacists.

Night10194 posted:My poor sister in law is terrified by this election because she's absolutely sure Trump has a silent majority that will turn out for him. I tried to convince her otherwise and help her relax, but she's too frightened to believe me. She insists he'll piggyback on the downticket GOTV efforts and somehow steal victory without a campaign apparatus. I have no idea how to explain to her how insane that would be. Ask her where this silent majority was for McCain and Romney. Remind her that the country hasn't gotten any whiter or less educated since then.

"Mr. Smith, in an email from 2015 you responded with an animated GIF of a bendy-armed cartoon character spelling out the words "Go gently caress Yourself".

Would you care to explain these occurrences?" "Uh...welcome to the internet?" "Can you explain your participation in posting on the following online forums?

Its been interesting that there has been no Republican comments on Trump's statement, except from within his camp. This means there is two options: they are really going to try to ignore it, or they are going to come out with strong denunciations and disavowals. I think it is the second, and that key figures are trying to figure out how to word it the best they can. If it was just a normal gaffe, the responses would be "This was an unfortunate term of phrase", and they would have come out in the first few hours. But they didn't, people know this is different, and they know it is dangerous for their party, for their country, and for them personally. They have to move away from this, because they know that if they don't now, they will have to do it when it is even more painful. So I expect a few key disavowals tomorrow, followed by a Trump tantrum, followed by more disavowals from Trump as people want to look like they are leaving on principle and not like rats fleeing a sinking ship. Or else I don't understand US politics and the line tomorrow is going to be "Media distortions, Benghazi, job creators, traditions, e-Mail servers"

I mean, we can be cynical about it, but even at the most cynical, I think Republicans understand that A) if Trump said this today, what is he going to say next week? Why not get out while the getting is good, and B) "jokes" about assassination can turn into a real and immediate threat to their family. They have to stop this, right? They aren't dumb enough to believe this will all just go away?

berserker posted:Here's what I don't get about the "silent majority" thing. Polls are anonymous. It's not like when someone calls you to ask poll questions that there's anyone standing there watching you and judging your answers. The pollsters don't get your name, only demographics statistics. No one knows who it is who is saying they support Clinton or Trump. So in that scenario, why would anyone have any reason to lie about how they truly feel and so throw off a poll? And how likely could it possibly be that this happens consistently over all polls? There are two typical explanations for this: dumb, and goddamn crazy. Dumb: All of the polls, every single one, are oversampling democrats because look they'll have something like 6% more respondents self-identify as democrat than republican. But of course an unbiased poll would sample exactly 50% democrats and 50% republicans (or insert whatever fantasy you have about the "real" ratios of democrats to republicans in the country here). So to unskew the polls you just reweight the responses from Democrats and Republicans and there you have it, Goddamn crazy: conservatives are so beaten down and ashamed by the powerful liberal media/professors/Hollywood/record label elite that they dare not whisper their conservative beliefs to a stranger for fear of condemnation so like whipped dogs they cringe and say whatever they think liberals want to hear. But in the voting booth, they become Winston Smith with his diary, finally free to express their true selves with a fierce and joyous pull of the lever for
