Also, to the people saying you shouldn't be nice to racists and therefore it's ok to poo poo on 'poor rural whites'

perhaps stop for a second and think that, just maybe, not every single rural white is a dyed-in-the-wool white supremacist who can never be changed. maybe some aren't even racist at all! maybe others have been fooled into believing they should hold xenophobic views because the only alternative narrative refuses to bother even noticing their communities and at the end of the day, they just want to find hope for their increasingly dire situation in whatever group is most convincing/willing to reach out to them

but nah that can't be it lol, dumb stupid hicks

The fact that they voted for an openly racist candidate sure isn't convincing me that they aren't all racist.

yeah it's almost as if someone in rural nebraska who has no interactions with minorities isn't all that concerned about that part of his message, and instead focuses on trump's other promises to directly better his life or something idk man

They absolutely are concerned with that part of his message.They enjoy that part of his message. They are absolutely thrilled to have a candidate who is telling them that it's okay to want to lynch the blacks and the gays. And dumb fucks like you keep on apologizing for them, denying that their hatred is real, and acting like they are even right to feel the way they do. You are part of the problem you stupid fucker.

FYI you don't get dumb and bad people to vote for you by appealing to their deplorable sensibilities, you do it by offering a sensible material policy that will improve their lives in easily understandable ways.

Without looking at Hillary's website, explain how her policy proposals would help an unemployed oil worker who was laid off in Texas by the Saudi oil glut.

They don't know or care what Hillary's policies are you moron.

How exactly does "We'll tax the rich and re-distribute that wealth, expand health care for you, and raise minimum wage so you don't have to scrape by on 3 part-time jobs with no benefits" count as "not making any appeal to poor whites"?
It runs contrary to the "Hillary has no policies" narrative that I made up after zoning out during every single one of Hillary's speeches.

Serious question, when do Jews become the focus of Trump's hate in public? I'm half-Jewish, and while I fully understand that many demographics have it much worse, I am also fully aware that Trump campaigned, in part, on anti-semitism. Do you guys suppose he embraces that further? Or was that casual anti-semitic trash just for getting his awful voters?

Sounded like Trump was walking back from a lot of his more controversial positions in that speech, maybe you guys are about to be subjected to merely another generic corporate cocksucker and social conservative rather than some orange loose cannon

Honestly that's more or less what I expect, he's become more and more of a generic republican with a bigger mouth as time has gone on.

Unfortunately that is still not a good thing.

I like the part where making GBS threads on the entire idea behind the Supreme Court by blocking the President's completely sensible and non-partisan nomination for over a year until you can elect your own guy who will nominate partisan shills is actually a good strategy that works apparently.

This is a great message to give to poor struggling people and definitely not why we have president trump lol.

I want to hope not everyone is like you and completely blind to why this happened but I'm not getting my hopes up.

probably would've been a very different election if the dems would've emphasized more how much Trump's policies would actually hurt his supporters rather than putting all their money in the "racism is bad" basket.
also if they had nominated Bernie

Augus
Mar 9, 2015


right now I'm banking on Trump's poor leadership causing the republican majority to be as flimsy and divided as the dems' majority was, on midterms being good to the democrats, and the remaining SCOTUS justices holding on to dear life until after 2018 when the dems can block nominations right back because this is just what politics are gonna be from now on. then the progressive movement resurgence in reaction to overt fascism will put Elizabeth Warren or someone in the White House and everything will be just peachy rainbows and love

also get involved in politics and do stuff to make a difference people, seriously.

but would his supporters have been susceptible to believing in any words that came out of a democrat's mouth in the first place

like the dems definitely should've tried that more but it's hard not to be skeptical that we still wouldn't have gotten the same outcome

maybe maybe not but anything is better than one party having a monopoly on paying lip service to their interests and being able to fill their heads with all the dangerous propaganda they want.

Brother Entropy posted:

yeah that's probably true

it's just hard not to be pessimistic about the american voting public on today of all days

After getting less sleep than I should've but still some sleep, getting some caffeine in my system, and sitting through some extremely uncomfortable college classes, I've come around to the fact that yes there are a lot of racists who voted for Trump and racism is very much still alive in America, but the real reason that he won was a failure on the part of party leadership and our political system. The fact that, despite everything, Clinton won the popular vote shows that. Trump is a weak-rear end candidate who happened to stumble into a perfect storm where he could be elevated by the failures of everyone else around him. We're gonna have to deal with the incredibly lovely results of this presidency but hopefully they will also create an oppurtunity to hit back hard. What's important is that you don't tune out of politics until 2020 now.
