The wall isn't supposed to be practical or useful, its just the biggest piece of red meat ever thrown to a group of voters since ever

The military is a really cheap jobs program for young males that is unfortunately saddled with a tremendously expensive procurement apparatus. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't bleeding us dry while simultaneously being used to make the world a worse place.

People seem to be pretty open with saying that Racism was a huge part of the race.

Why isn't it even OK to discuss the possibility that sexism might have been a factor?

Racism won Trump the GOP nomination but it didnt stop millions of Democrats from not voting

40 years of Democrats and Republicans and the average American is worse off so please stop pretending either party really gives a poo poo about the economy other than whatever it takes to get elected and make their donors happy

You don't need fraud when you've legally denied the right of the other side to vote

Why was the TPP bad again? The only specific point I ever heard was from pirates fearing that it'd make it harder to steal poo poo.

People are just barely catching on to the fact that the last 40 years of economic policies have not been beneficial to them and free trade is an easy target because foreigners

It's time to stop pretending that the Democrats have offered any other economic answers the last 40 years other than saying 'get a degree' while conveniently standing idly by if not tacitly approving of the GOP decimation of working/middle class.

Oh yeah let's not forget the never ending attacks on the only real industry left where unskilled labor can get paid well: energy

A collapse is inevitable even at current employment levels since pay is largely stagnant at best

The romanticization of manufacturing jobs that never existed is because a non-trivial portion of America views themselves as the star of a Chevy trucks commercial. They see themselves as someone they aren't and that fake person is lamenting the passing of their equally non-existant livelyhood.

If only America would withdraw, then surely the Middle East will calmly resolve itself without any meddling outsider influences. :allears:

No I'm more thinking we just get out of the way and let them sectarian violence themselves to death instead of presenting ourselves as an easy target.

Prior to the election, I kept saying that Hillary's pathological need to be loved is what made her fundamentally queer in a Nixonian sense. She just wants to be loved. She (wrongly and for reasons I don't fully understand) thought she was loved in some traditionally dem blue collar states and she wanted everybody to love her by running up the numbers in traditionally red states.

It's the unpopular kid running for student council president as national political theater.

Supporters thought she was a combination of Bill and Barack when she was really Gore and Kerry

I remember. It's part of why she lost, after all. Her campaign (which is just an extension of her) seemed to believe that them colored folk don't nowise know how to vote but downticket D.

No you see she carried hot sauce in her purse therefore they owed her their allegiance.
