Because he was caterwauling through the whole campaign about how Obama had abandoned ME Christians and that he would make a special effort to protect and shelter them. So she wasn't totally insane for voting for him, just stupid enough to fall for a huckster.

no, she was loving insane to think a man who ran an almost-exact rerun of a hitler rally would protect minorities, why would she get a pass on that one? maybe she missed it? it was not the only time, he was all about hunting down the minorities all of the time, to a point the courts can't even ignore it

in her defense, of course, nobody knows what trump is trying to do now, because he has passed beyond the realms of sanity and reason, so w'evs

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

She was probably just a lovely awful person like this

quote:

Today, black Americans are allowed to carry on as if they are the most persecuted people in the world, as if such a thing could be measured and as if any data point to them as inherently oppressed. I guess bullying and guilting white people is a win, a win leading to unearned invitations to the Oscars, thinkpieces about sitting out the national anthem, and a shift from an important conversation about violence in inner cities to cop killings that, following the Aziz Ansari method, amount to an infinitesimal number of deaths. This win allows black Americans part of this movement to say that black lives matter (which, sure, OK) but also that all white people are terrible. All white people are supposed to “check their privilege” and stop pushing their “mayo” opinions on people. White is bland and boring and violent and hateful. Fifty years ago, black activists and their allies sought to end segregation. In 2016, blacks want ‘safe spaces,’ places where they segregate themselves from others, and no non-blacks can possibly be allies because we are all part of the problem and everyone is an anti-black racist and Donald Trump is literally Hitler. This is of course ridiculous but actually it is not. This is the majority’s way of thinking now. This is what we have devolved into. Everyone is either a racist or a self-hating ally or black.
But what about Middle Eastern Christians? Where do we fit?
Middle Eastern Christians are not white or black or bound by Western ideas of race and privilege. There is indeed privilege in the Middle East but it is not racial. Actually, privilege extends only to Muslims. In the Middle East, all the things black people wrongly complain about are true for non-Muslims.
...
American presidential candidates aren’t good for Middle Eastern Christians. That is, they weren’t, before Trump.

Donald Trump Is Good for Middle Eastern Christians

Donald Trump had no business running for president. He’s not presidential material, whatever that means, and he’s not part of the political elite who subscribe to the same rhetoric and stances. (Ask people in the Middle East if bombs raining down on them from Republican presidents are different from the ones Democrats send.) Trump was supposed to be a joke. You’re not allowed to say ‘crazy’ things when you’re running for president and you’re certainly not allowed to win Republican primaries, become the Republican nominee, and change the political landscape forevermore.
It’s that last one that really interests me.
Like him or not, Donald Trump is effectively changing the world. We’ve thrown out ideas of traditional candidates, acceptable sound bites, political correctness. In his brash presence in this election, Trump has carved a place out for those of us who did not fit anywhere before. Sure, the alt-right loves him and the liberal left hates him but in the hubbub of their back-and-forth those of us previously left out have found a way in. We can now ask Muslims outraged at Trump’s run why his words are more offensive to them than Clinton killing and displacing thousands of Muslims. We can now point out that Omar Mateen was an extremist by everyone’s standards but the mosque he attended where anti-gay rhetoric was spewed regularly is attended by the ‘moderate Muslims’ liberals love to court so much. We can now interject with a pointed “um, no” when Muslims in the West claim that they pose no danger to America because they live “side-by-side with Christians” back home.
Middle Eastern Christians relish this: we can finally call Muslims out on their hypocrisy but, more importantly, we have a voice. That’s not something Hitler went around giving people, I’m pretty sure.

Not insane, just hateful enough to project all their desires on someone who sounds as hateful as them, and stupid enough to think that nativist bigots who lump all foreigners together would suddenly be discerning and make a special exception for the ones with the "right" religion. You would think that the nativist right's hatred for Mexican Christians would have been a clue lol

the thing about the jews is,
The amount of leniency some in this thread are giving to people with trumpgrets is maddening. All of them have this vague reasoning for turning against their glorious leader but his positions haven't changed much and his attempts to ban the muzzies and ban the wetbacks still went forward, he was just unable to do it. The real reason they are now "deeply regretting" their vote is because he didn't bring a return to the golden age where whites reigned supreme and daddy makes them rich, removing the stain of embarrassment that they've had for decades. The simple goodhearted southern grandma who sets pies on the window sill can't suddenly start growing a conscience without being castigated for her actions. The reality is they are cowards who didn't want to be the bad guys but wanted the same things that other more vehement/vocal trump supporters.

Ideally we would be brutally owning them to the limits of our abilities, but also getting them health care, education, living wages, etc. etc.

I don't think either prong of this approach would change many people's minds, but I don't really care.

Too fuck to drunk



not in contemporary times, but it is at least internally consistent that the original descendants of this country's protestant founders would be leery of Catholicism jumping the pond and ruining their city on a hill, if only because the protestant founders were the 17th century version of the Mormons, holding unpopular religious views and literally fleeing across the pond to escape papal authority in the first place.

I guess all these idiot tormp voters are a pretty neat impromptu social experiment about how incredibly awesome white privilege is in the U.S. these people are so desperate to count as white that they willing voted for the candidate who is going to forcibly export them out of the country, on the off-chance that maybe their vote would somehow prove their inherent white-ness and earn them an honorary doctorate in being white.

edit: they heard the expression "one of the good ones" and thought they could earn their way into that category, but the trimp hive-mind believes "the only good X is a dead X"
