Also redlining and literally not giving jobs, government funding or anything to blacks really pushed this further.

social security was originally pushed for whites only

maybe so, but they sure as gently caress did benefit from it.

not to mention the economic shot in the arm that a massive infrastructure project like that generates.

But it might not/probably wouldnt have happened when it did unless we needed to quickly transport missiles up and down the eastern seaboard.

You just need to figure out how to disguise the next big public works project as a military expenditure. like building bear cat factories to stifle civil unrest.

Gonna close this thread since I think I got my answer and now everyone's trying to answer something else which is being discussed in like 4 other threads probably.

Probably because the answer is pretty clear? Yeah, they didn't get it, and they still don't get it.

Like, I can name things that Trump promised to do. Build a wall. Make America Great Again. Renegotiate trade agreements.

What did Hillary promise? To not be Donald Trump. Oh, and I guess Bernie's free college plan but really all I remember of that towards the end was her defending it as possible when Trump brought it up in a debate.

The turnout figures this year are showing about the same turnout as in 2012 with Trump getting maybe slightly fewer votes than Romney did. But the big thing was that third parties are way up in turnout. Gary Johnson already has nearly twice as many votes as all third parties combined did in 2012. It's looking like the lessons here are: the Republican base will vote for whoever the Republican is, and Hillary Clinton succeeded in getting voters to abandon the DNC while Trump wasn't able to convince them to vote for him.
