Makes sense that Americans needed a reminder of what 2002 to 2008 was like. Can't blame them for forgetting, it was a long time ago and their memory only goes back two years

Maybe they just really want more rotting homeless corpses to decorate their landscapes, with the bonus of eventually being one of those corpses.

They lost against Donald loving Trump, a man with the worst favorable ratings in the history of US elections by nominating Hillary Clinton, a lady who was neck in neck with him in terms of unfavorability ratings.

lol yes it was all the Dems and the voters who thought she was the candidate to beat Trump

Trump may do a poor enough job that Democrats can catch a wave in 2020, a year in which they will be able to impact redistricting?

Sure, but Trump and congress will probably pass more voter ID laws by then. And this would be on a national scale too. :smith:

I agree but my issue is this is always framed as if all liberals are snobby rich white people. there are liberal working class and middle class minorities like me who have a poo poo ton of economic interests in common with poor white people and don't look down our noses at them but what the gently caress can we do? The system exists and we're all puppets inside of it.

The key thing to me as a minority that this was a highpoint of any justice in that area, and to hold strong for subsequent decades.

perhaps stop for a second and think that, just maybe, not every single rural white is a dyed-in-the-wool white supremacist who can never be changed. maybe some aren't even racist at all! maybe others have been fooled into believing they should hold xenophobic views because the only alternative narrative refuses to bother even noticing their communities and at the end of the day, they just want to find hope for their increasingly dire situation in whatever group is most convincing/willing to reach out to them

but nah that can't be it lol, dumb stupid hicks

The fact that they voted for an openly racist candidate sure isn't convincing me that they aren't all racist.

I grew up in rural America. My hometown was recently in the national news for the local pizza place's kid dressing in blackface with a noose around his neck for Halloween. Most people in the town defended them and said the costume was funny. There isn't a lot I think anyone can do to fix that mentality. They're just hosed.

All the fetishization of voting is no substitute for a political praxis. All the libs ITT talking about how they're going to flee the country are just going to withdraw into video games and cyberspace instead, just like the hippies did in the 80s and 90s.

turns out none of the "bad" things Trump did mattered half as much as him being a professional fraudster, con artist, celebrity, and reality show exec. he was actually a good candidate, and no one saw it because they were too busy focusing on poo poo only pundits cared about

As a rural white...

They have agency in their decisions. They're not victims here. Whether anyone likes to admit it or not, they're grown men and women responsible for what they do. If they couldn't think hard enough to realize why voting Trump was a bad idea, they deserve every ounce of scorn they get and then some.

gently caress them.

It'd be hilarious if Trump actually was a Clinton plant to hand her the election and now he has to figure out what the hell to do as president.

I've firmly believed that Trump never actually wanted to win. This was all an ego boost to say he ran and could have won if he wanted. Does anyone seriously believe that Trump wants to deal with the bullshit of being President? It's a terrible loving job. He has no idea what he's in for.

All I can hope for is we stagger through the next 4 years without screwing something up too badly, and put this all behind us.
