My hippie private high school's one black Republican who went to Oral Roberts is very excited that Trump defeated the media propaganda machine.

You don't have to be a racist to support Trumo, but drat if this isn't going to bring some smugness out and embolden some actual racists. On the other hand, bringing some of that into the public sphere might actually get people to fight back. I'm hoping it will anyway.

Why is it that people choose to be lovely to others again? The feeling of superiority? Self-centeredness? Lack of empathy (AKA "gently caress your feelings")? The "I'm right and I know the TRUTH" mentality? What other things am I missing? I'm talking about deliberate assholery, not the accidental or born from ignorance type. E: Based on what oldbernless said; there's definitely a resurgence of the "Bernie could win this easily" circlejerk on the net. Because an actual socialist would stand a chance when people flipped their poo poo over a rumored one. somekindofguy has a new favorite as of 16:32 on Nov 9, 2016 |

I believe it's largely this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKeYbEOSqYc tldr, Trump told all the disenfranchised blue collar factory workers and ex-middle-class families who have lost everything that he's got their back Plus they literally think blowing up the stagnant political system with an outsider is better than the status quo, no matter who the outsider is

EDIT: ^^^^ Said much more concisely than I did.Plom Bar posted:What other reasons would one have, out of curiosity A LOT of rural white people have been thrown into poverty by loss of various good blue collar jobs to automation, cleaner energy, and foreign sweatshops. Culturally, for many of these people, it's considered the worst shame ever to go for the (remains of the) safety net we've set up for this kind of circumstance. It means you're helpless, not an adult, weak, a complete failure on every level. These people do not tend to have great educations, so they haven't been taught how to dig in deeper on things and verify statements, plus they're stressed out and tired because they're in poverty, and don't have the interest to get into the confusing and complicated web of how politics works. They mostly just know whatever they see on TV or in ads. With that shallow level of understanding, it looks the same as any other election or just celebrity gossip: someone did a thing, or maybe they didn't, who cares. Trump has promised jobs. He's not a member of the political establishment, which is perceived as being uncaring at best, actively malevolent at worst. He's an outsider, not given to the mushy doubletalk of politicians, he speaks bluntly and simply. And he's promised jobs. Not welfare or financial support, because these people want to make an honest living and just go back to the good days of their youth when they could support a family with work. Trump is basically the political equivalent of the Money Cat chain post, promising a magical improvement to desperate people who see no other options. Alternately, Trump is the rural white man's Obama, promising hope and change. People are so despairing of their status, so distrustful of the government, that an outsider looks like their only hope. It's voting the symbol of the maverick outside everyman against the corrupt and uncaring establishment. They're often ignorant to the details, but the symbol of hope to them is powerful enough to compel them to the polls.

So far it's a lot of "I can't facebook today" and acting like things such as abortion rights and LGBT rights are going to be abolished by the end of the day with deathtroopers marching in the streets. Quite a few are calling for the abolishment of the Electoral College despite the fact we're in a state that would be ignored if it wasn't for the Electoral College.

I am currently physically ill because the radio station I listen to everyday, that has been more or less pretty middle of the road, has had 2 white guys today believing that racism isn't really a big thing anymore. That when a Mexican American and an African American called into the station to share their story they said "I don't believe you". That somehow all of us, like me, who now have no hope of proper insurance will be okay because "Now the insurance companies will be competitive again and lower their prices!"
