There is one common thing said: Hillary made me feel bad. I believe it, even if I don't have a solution or agree with it. That above interaction is something we are all going to have to deal with. I'd say get your social skills good and sharpened for the next four years. No hikkikomori in Trumps American tm E: I really want a pressurized shirt

Humans are inherently unstable animals that will react if you give them something to feel. Trump's wild racism, bigotry, and hate propelled some people to vote and convinced others to stay home. Hillary never had any coherent emotion in her plan. The picture of the people that showed up for Obama but not Hillary is a single mom who has to get her kid ready for school in time to get to her job at Dennys, and then speed across town after that to pick up a shift at the counter at jiffy lube in order to stay only a little underwater on her car and house, and for whom taking time off to vote means not getting to spend time with her kid or maybe not being able to pay her phone bill that month. Hillary didn't really offer her anything more valuable than an hour and a half with her kid.

Armani posted:I still never got an an answer to why any of you voted Trump that wasn't 'hillary' btw. What the hell does the actual end game of your vote look like? You got the dude, tell me what you're going to get out of it. Having not personally voted for the anthropomorphic spray tan: - Supreme court nomination in the hands of the GOP - For all the poo poo it gets, the movement to repeal the ACA has some basis. Can confirm that my alrewady low income has been taxed with several thousand more doallrs per year between premium and deductible increases. My company also has fewer insured people now as their increased cost lead to a dependent verification and knocked several hundred technically unqualified people off coverage. - A good number of voters saw Trump as less likely to start another ground war in the Middle-East than a Clinton administration belligerent to Syria/Iran. - At least one acquaintance with family to include children in the Philippines who saw Trump as a chance at mending relations rather than risk massively increased Chinese and Russian influences in a country he's already terrified is going down the drain hard enough. E: Was not going to bring it up, but a large number of pro-lifers went to Trump. Those convictions are strong and there we go. Most women I know who checked the R box did so for that reason.

Zelder posted:also serious question does trumps plan of "i'm going to fix everything, trust me, we're going to do great, it'll be great" legit count as focusing on economic issues. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, i feel like of all trump's plans, that's always been the vaguest and most straight up "wish fulfillment" of the things he says at rallies/in policies. Is that really all it takes to make the argument that he reached out to white america's economic concerns? Think of it like a Tyler Perry movie. Do they have particularly good plots? No. Are they shot in interesting ways? No. Do they have a good message? No. However they are the only movies that are actually made by and for a black audience. Ditto Trump and disaffected white in the rust belt. Like you said he has no plans and can't bring their jobs back, but he was the only one even trying to speak to them and so they gave him a shot.

Who What Now posted:Voting for Obama does not make it impossible to be a bigot, you loving moron. Also I'm extremely skeptical that Trump voters that voted Obama twice are a large group. It's more likely that two time Obama voters stayed home. "The country voted for Obama, TWICE. We can't be racist anymore how dare you imply that's a thing" said by guy that voted McCain then Romney. People are trying to use the successes of others to piggyback and whitewash their own racism.

kartikeya posted:That's not what I said. Please reread. I said USPOL posters were laughing about how the stupid DNC was going to do this and now they're doing it themselves, for pretty much the same reasons, but still insisting no they are super great progressives while denying racism and throwing minorities out the car window. I am not hell-bent on equating talk of refocusing on class issues with proof of lefty racism, I'm pointing out people are being absolute shitheads and claiming that minorities and their issues robbed the poor white man of his class attention. Okay, and now comes the part where I'm going to piss you off: That can only accomplish so much. I am probably not eloquent enough or famous enough to even convince some of my idiot friends to get their poo poo together. I am probably in the overwhelming majority in this. If it were otherwise, cultural change would come quickly and not take decades. But, we don't have decades, we have two years to reorganize the Democratic party into something that can win the House and Senate in 2018. That is, to put it lightly, a tall loving order. It can be done but that path to that will not depend heavily on getting a few white liberals to convince enough other white liberals that racial issues are seriously, lethally important. It will, I suspect, depend an awful lot on refocusing on issues that more of the Democratic base can personally relate to - but (and I suspect you already know this but I want to reiterate it), that is not an abandonment racial issues. That's the lay of the land as I see it. And it loving sucks. I'm loving gutted by the results of this election - I can't imagine what PoC must be going through. We let you down. My priority is that it doesn't happen again.
