If US presidential elections were democratic then Trump loses. But they aren't so he won. We know the popular vote so this is a fact, not an opinion. Since they're not democratic, blaming the general population for the outcome seems dumb as gently caress.

If the US was a democracy, then the presidency and the House of Representatives would both be controlled by the Democratic Party since they had the most votes cast for them. Thanks to the EC, gerrymandering and voter suppression it's not, though.

Paradoxish posted:It's an extremely frustrating argument because it has the effect of papering over the hundred ways our democracy is just fundamentally broken at this point. This is the fundamental problem. Trump winning is just a symptom. A symptom that might kill us all, but still. In a democracy he loses even when you accept how dumb much of the electorate is.

Andrast posted:It is in fact both the voters' and the democrats' fault. The democrats should have been less poo poo and the voters should have voted against the horrible orange idiot. Most of the voters did! Amd the % turnout was between 2008 and 2012 levels, so it wasn't a crazy outlier. What's crazy is how many Obama voters flipped to Trump, during a time when Obama had high approval ratings no less. Those people are some super stupid motherfuckers.

EwokEntourage posted:This is such a dumb opinion piece. It's basically "republicans are right about everything and have the best ideas but somehow we managed to devolve into a racist fear mongering party but that totally isn't our fault". Pretty much. The Republican Party establishment wanted the racist Democrats that ran away after the Civil Rights Act, etc., to vote for them. So they started hinting at racism and pursuing policies that were based on race hate but didn't openly say THIS IS JIM CROW AGAIN LOL. The main goal was the pursuit of policies that helped the super rich, but it turned out it was easy to get racists to vote against their own economic interests if you gave them racist policy goodies with a nudge-nudge, wink-wink "BUT I NEVER SAID ANYTHING BAD ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE, YOU'RE THE REAL RACIST" approach. The elephant in the room was that at some point somebody could openly promise what was only being hinted at, and get all those votes instead. People will always go for the guy that openly offers what they want instead of only hinting at it obliquely. That somebody turned out to be Trump.

Radish posted:The entire Republican party licking Trump's taint and trying to explain how everything he's doing is in fact super smart and great should retroactively make everyone think back and realize maybe the stuff they said was good before was also in fact bad. Not that Trump is some kind of crazy outlier that somehow the party agrees with every time he does something stupid. The party establishment only dislikes Trump insofar as he's so loving stupid that it derails their efforts towards deregulation, corporate welfare, and tax cuts for the rich. They are either Actually Racist, or happy to hint at it for votes, which is a distinction without a difference really. He's an outlier insofar as he's too open about chasing race hate for votes for their tastes, and too dumb to put on a respectable face on loving everyone over.

Alter Ego posted:Well, I only mention that because his friend, that guy who keeps popping up on cable TV, said that Comey was obsessive about documenting his encounters with Trump, and that he would have scads of notes ready to go if needed. Hope is a mistake, etc., etc. HOWEVER, the thing about Comey isn't just that he took notes on Trump. It's that he made those notes into official memos that are now part of the public record. Supposedly every time he had a hosed up encounter with Trump, he'd write an official memo and have it field in the FBI's records. IIRC the FBI hasn't released them to anybody so as to not to interfere with the special prosecutor.

The only hope concerning right wing voters is they get depressed and stay home. Or die of natural causes and Republican policies. You don't fix the problem of 30-40% of the voters being human garbage. They just are. You can flip the millions of pure idiots who voted Obama in 2008 or 2012 but chose Trump in 2016. And you can turn out everyone else.

This feels like the openly racist gerrymandering NC did that got struck down, where the court basically says, "We'll go along with *almost* anything you want as long as you don't make it THAT obvious that it's racism, you idiots." Basically giving the people they ruled against the blueprint for writing a law that won't get struck down and does 99% of what they wanted anyway. Trump will be too stupid to take the hint if they do that and will just flip out.

Paradoxish posted:This basically describes the media as a whole. Individual journalists can be and are cool, but the overall trend of "gently caress Trump" right now is entirely because they can get away with it and because it gets eyeballs. We're extremely, uh, "fortunate" that Trump can't go a whole day without loving up, because it's obvious that a ton of media outlets are desperate to get back to something approaching normalcy. Yeah, the circumstances are making the media do their job because it's where the ratings/sales/demand are. Trump is massively hated by a majority of Americans, and virtually everyone else in the world. They're doing the right things for stupid reasons, but Trump looks to be totally incapable of just acting normal long enough for everyone to get bored and wander off. Basically if the public has a short attention span in general, Trump's fuckup cycle is even faster than that. He can't even just do nothing long enough for the public (and by extension, the media) to get bored and wander off.

I don't give a gently caress about the GOP base or Trump's base or whatever the gently caress. 35% of the country are basically incurable white power fascists, and that sucks, but they don't decide anything by themselves. poo poo that DOES matter, in no particular order: -Idiots who flipped from voting Obama in 2008 or 2012 to Trump in 2016 -Idiots who didn't vote at all after previously voting Obama in 2008 or 2012 -Democratic turnout in general, especially in mid-terms when it's often just poo poo compared to Republicans -Voter suppression -The Democrats running non-garbage candidates

The problem Trump has is that all the police state apparatus in the US are selling him out TO the police instead of humoring his Mussolini cosplay. Trump is so much stupider than even the huge Trump haters like me imagined. The idiot fucks up in huge public ways in like 50% of the time it takes the public to lose interest in the last bad Trump thing they read. Dude is such a dumb rear end in a top hat that a shady intelligence agency that literally has used Hydra's logo looked at him and went LOLNOPE.
