I'm getting the feeling this outburst of ethnic slurs and "um just because I'm allied with the kkk how can you know I'm a racist??" is a small taste of the narrative the country is going to head down soon.

steinrokkan posted:Trump people didn't vote for David Duke or whatever. No, but Trump does want to secure the existence of his people and a future for white children. Anyone who supports an open racist for president is de facto a racist themselves, whether they want to admit it or not.

I know that people vote against self interest. Hell, that's not even an inherently bad thing. What I don't understand is how so many women and Hispanics could look Trump in the eyes for over a year and say gently caress it.

C2C - 2.0 posted:Again, you're hinting that outside of identifiable groups like the KKK/Arayans/et. al., that racism wasn't a driving factor in the rest of the Trump voters. I'm "hinting" that it racism is one of ways in which frustration can manifest, and that Democrats are first incompetent that they can't use the same frustration to inspire a different, more constructive emotion, second that they refuse to delve into these supposedly forever tainted waters, thuse conceding the conservatives, who have no such reservations about interfering on ideologically hostile ground, more and more territory. In other words, that they are so afraid of getting their hands dirty that they would rather lose everything. Nobody is born racist, and nobody is irreversibly racist, especially if racism squares off demonstrably with his primary material concerns. If those were true, the entire leftist project would collapse at its foundations.

Also another reason I think trying to coddle diseased conservative brains is loving pointless is because I have a bunch of loving people blocked on Facebook whom I've tried to explain things to them in a kind matter and I was told I was a brainwashed liberal lamestream sheep. Partially because I used facts from liberal brainwashing universities instead of 'common sense'. So, yea. gently caress them.

When Trump railed on hispanics of Mexican origin there were a significant amount Puerto Ricans and Cuban descended hispanics who nodded in agreement. There is a lot of hispanics that truly believe Republicans aren't talking about them when they rail against Mexicans.

It is why Bernie did unexpectedly well and why trump beat all of these other vetted conservatives. Also note that trump has been talking about WPA style projects that really resonate with the rust belters. A large part of this election was also about who didn't vote and why.

I'm not from the US, so this probably doesn't mean much, but I was so depressed by the outcome that I had to start looking for some kind of silver lining. One I thought about was how during this campaign I was so scared of Trump winning that I often found myself just hoping Romney had won in 2012 so we wouldn't have to watch this. That lead me to think that maybe, just maybe through electing "just" Trump, America has dodged electing someone even worse in 2020. If we had got a President Clinton out of this election with a margin of narrowly under or over 300 electoral votes, she would have potentially been in big trouble in four years and potentially against someone just as vile and divisive as Trump, but potentially actually very clever and possibly a "true believer" in everything they say. In European terms, just maybe America elected a Silvio Berlusconi here but avoided electing, you know, Hitler in 2020. At the very least Trump probably said a lot of what he said just to get elected. Absolutely horrifying in how it legitimizes such rhetoric, but at least he probably doesn't believe in much of it. At least America elected someone who was kind of courteous and respectful in his victory speech, not someone who instantly starts spewing about flushing out national traitors or something, Yeah, that's all I got for now. Probably not much of a relief for everyone terrified for their future right now. I'm from Northern Europe and I'm not terribly excited about what Trump's foreign policy means for Russia's options from here on out Fabulous Knight fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Nov 9, 2016 |
