Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I don't disagree.

I also cannot look past someone voting for Trump after he has been established as hateful towards black people, latinos, immigrants of all kinds, muslims, with a VP that hates gay people.

I don't believe for second that people voting for Trump did so without acknowledging, and agreeing, they would be harming the "other."

American politics are driven by spite, and Trump tapped directly into it. Rural people are hurting bad, and now they want to hurt other people. Trump not only told them that he would make everything better for them, but that the other people they've been conditioned to hate for years can also get hosed.

Incidentally I'm feeling tremors from fracking sites across the border in Oklahoma. So glad Queen Abuela never campaigned against it.

I don't think so. There was a lot of evidence that dems were turning out low probability voters who were genuinely excited. What appears to have happened, and this will take weeks to sort out, is that the base disintegrated. Esp. in the rust belt.

gonna be so funny when they don't get their jobs back but still love trump in 2020

Do people actually think this won't be the case? The rust belt idiots who voted for Trump aren't going to blame him when their lovely jobs don't come back because it's far too easy to deflect their anger on to the Others and an increase in violence towards minorities. No matter what happens over the next 2-4 years the GOP's not going to catch any flak for it from Trumpists because they are ready, willing, and wanting to blame anyone else for problems.

cult member at airport posted:

It will be interesting to see what the Republicans do with unbridled power. They control the White House and both chambers, and they can put whoever they want in the Supreme Court. So at least for the next 2 years they have no excuse not to overturn Roe v Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges, repeal Obamacare, target Muslims and undocumented immigrants, etc. And The Wall, don't forget The Wall.

Unless something changed I don't think Kennedy is actually on board with a wholesale overturn of Roe v. Wade. Maybe if Trump attempts to loosen libel laws he'll fail due to 1A grounds but honestly I'm not sure considering there are multiple justices who don't even think flag burning should be allowed. The only upside to that is we'd get to see the MSM get destroyed for their own incompetence and lust for ratings. While Breitbart is going to turn in to our version of RT.

The ACA is hosed though and the Trumpstaffel deportation force will only come about if/when they defund a bunch of social services to pay for it since they sure as poo poo aren't going to raise taxes... on the wealthy anyways.

I find myself wondering if pollsters didn't put their thumb on the scale. A couple of weeks before the election there were a lot of state polls that looked an awful lot like the final result, then the ship seemed to magically right itself at the very end.

Maybe if the DNC didn't tip the scales in favor of Hillary all the drat time? Just a reminder that states like New York closed primary registrations of October of last year, before anyone even got a chance to learn who Bernie was. When you setup a system that's anti-democratic, this is what you're going to get.
