The dude's plan for ending racism is never talking to white people until all the white people suddenly become woke on their own. I think he thinks that he is so correct about everything, he doesn't even need to argue. Just wait until everyone naturally starts to agree with him

Strawmen are fun to beat up on but really don't contribute to either debate or discussion but hey if you can't even acknowledge that there do exist some white people who will never "become woke", regardless of anyone who talks to them, up to and including the second coming of Supply Side Jesus, you're obviously not arguing in good faith so maaybe get... out?

there's some truth to that but it ignores the fact that it's not a totality of rural people who are like that, and that's without getting into the south where you have rural counties which are majority black and increasingly small towns that are majority hispanic or where they're the largest minority

clinton lost a lot of rural counties 65-35 that obama lost 55-45 and they rapidly add up, and trump was smart to hold rallies in lots of east bumfucks

The "PROTECT ARE WORKERS" list will likewise go through unmolested, with maybe some dumb gently caress Clintonites and Republicans trying to block the "Renegotiate NAFTA and stop the TPP" because they haven't learned a thing. Climate change acceleration and trade wars ho!

The "gently caress OBAMA" list will also go through, but this is probably where he'll hit some immediate issues. Senate Dems can probably filibuster the judge appointment and deporting people is loving expensive and the media will scrutinize the hell out of the whole thing.

Ok so after some time to recover from a hangover and digest all this, there are a lot of reasons Trump stomped Clinton in an upset:

-Clinton was a very poor candidate for this election and her campaign (and pollsters) tremendously hosed up. They treated it like any other election when they should have seen from Trump and Bernie's primary performances that it was going to be really different from 2012, their LV models were way off so their entire campaign strategy was wrong. They and the media should have treated Trump like a serious candidate and worked to strengthen blue states with large white populations rather than getting overconfident and reaching for long shot swing states. This was an election between two deeply unpopular candidates but it should have been obvious from the primaries that a populist/change message was playing strongly. A lot of Obama voters went for Trump, and Trump got more black, Hispanic, and Asian voters than Romney. Clinton is emblematic of the establishment.

-Election fuckery from Russian email hacks, voter suppression and disenfranchisement in R controlled states, Comey.

-The racism and bigotry of white Americans is going strong.

Congrats we elected an idiotic racist sexmonster who will enable decades of GOP darkness because the Clinton campaign thought "let's all work together, would you like to hear about my POLICIES?" was a good message. Actually what you needed to win this election was to yell incoherent populist anti-establishment rhetoric and be racist, facts policy and being a narcisstic sexual predator don't matter.

So, since you're still not bothering to explain yourself:

ECOWAS means the Economic Community of West African States. As in countries in the main region slaves were captured from. Black USAians have bloodline connections to that region, which could be used as a basis for something similar to Israel's Right of Return. Which in turn means anyone who claims Jewish ancestry can claim citizenship in Israel.

Most of the trickier things on his list aren't "do this thing", they're "announce my intention to do this thing". Naturally a constitutional amendment putting term limits on Congress ain't gonna happen, but all he needs to do is start it off and then when it fails he can blame elitist mainstream politicians.

Racist white people are not a boogeyman, they are reality. It's not black people's faults that white people are racist and ""ironic"" racism is still racism.

The US was built on the backs of black slaves and the genocide of Natives. You underestimate how deeply white supremacy is interwoven into the very fabric of American society.

I don't know what Negromancer's usually like as a poster, but come on man, we're less than 24 hours from the election of Donald Trump. I watched a Trump rally where one of his surrogates, a sheriff - a man sworn to uphold the law of the land - railed on Hillary at length for supporting 'seditious groups' like BLM, and told a cheering crowd that under President Trump members of those groups will share a prison cell with her. I can see why he'd be really pissed off and upset right now, it's not cool to try and bait him for lulz or whatever.
