RE: My 2 Cents: Analyzing the Trump victory from the perspective of an African-American
Half?
Did you fail math in school?
You said :the red states are orgasmic over the result, and the other half are sickened....
looks like a LOT more Red than Blue...much more than just half
You might consider that everything you are saying about Trump now.
other people said about Obama eight years ago.
If you are right...why were they wrong?
no I didn't fail math, and I can clearly see more than half of the country voted for Trump. I Think a lot of people who voted for Trump, did it out of spite to Hillary and the status quo. I even think that spiteful vote also came from men who don't want to see a female president. But you're right it's more than half.
I think people should have the right to feel the way they feel. In 08 the decent towards the Obama victory had racist overtones. These people protesting are in fear of their lives. And what will happen to them and their families, it's a different circumstance.
OH? "it's different"
isn't it always?
YEAH it is. Were white people in danger of being deported no, Obama had no plans to repeal gay marriage or abortion. Obama didn't alienate a series of people like Trump has. So yeah it's much, much different.
News flash...he DID alienate a lot of people...enough people that Trump won.
as you sow so shall you reap.
you guys caused this to happen
now own it.
Trump didn't win. HIlliary lost. She had ten or twenty million people LESS vote for her than voted for Obama. When you consider that she cheated hi wide and handsome (voter fraud galore) and she STILL lost...that saying something.
Homer Simpson could have run against her and won or Bernie Sanders
Oh wait....oh wait...he did run against her and he did win...except for the voter fraud part. That's how she got the nomination...by cheating.
The DNC knew that...
So they had to find a WORSE candidate.
The Orange one...straight from Reality TV.
The networks helped him. The Cheetoh got over 3 BILLION dollars of free advertising and since he was 'self funded' he didn't have to follow the same rules as the other republican candidates.
So...he too...cheated and won the Republican nomination.
and that was that...he quit.
but wait..the people who voted for him would not LET him quite. He kept rising in the polls.
So he did stupid shit...over and over and over...it didn't help.
The voters did NOT want Hilliary.
So in spite of himself...in spite of all that he could do to "throw it".
He won.
Is it any wonder he looked stunned?
Lookit this
