this is kinda late but trump did swing alot of states like mine (Pennsylvania) he won all the battlegrounds except for one (Nevada) but I really thought hillary would win for sure since it was really close for her to win
It really isnt, "whitelash" implies that the majority voted trump because the majority are racist and sexist, along with other labels the liberal media try to impose on Republicans. Which is dead wrong. Trump won because he ran a better campaign.
"not everyone that voted for trump is a bigot... but all the bigots voted for trump"; quote that sums up my stance on it. imo that constitutes what's being called a "white-lash", but for others maybe not.
Did the violent protestors create a self fulfilling prophecy for them saying if Trump won, there would be chaos?
So socialists arent bigots? Gay and women hating Muslims arent bigots? Pedophiles running prostitution rings arent bigots? Im astonished that you can only be a bigot if you are a Republican
i did not say you ad to be a republican to be a bigot. i said to be a bigot in this country you (probably) voted for trump. it's a one-way comparison. not sure when socialists became bigoted. as for the other two, those are definitely bigoted groups of people, good point (hence why im editing my original statement). tho if i had to go out on a limb and guess which candidate had more bigots voting for them, id say trump by probably more than a 10:1 margin.
really i think this is just coming down to a matter of opinion, i would tend to say that more of hillary's supporters are bigots and that is one of the reasons why there is so many riots, but yes many trump supports are also bigots, i would put it at a 4:6 margin trump to hillary
The new age of political correctness, feminism, ignorance, etc, all that are traits of democrats, aswell as failed democratic leadership made trump possible. Naturally republican capitalism has also played an equal role in it, which made an economical elite able to grow like it has and establish political influence to a state where your country is now fully run by oligarchs Usa is a failed country, and everyone in it is to blame imo
the nazis weren't socialist they used the name to appeal to lower-class ppl in germany due to an anti-capitalist sentiment & initially acted under the guise of creating a socialist state, but quickly became the fascist party we know today (which was in fact highly anti-socialist/communist) edit: of course, this isn't an excuse for the atrocities committed in the name of socialism/communism, just a factual correction
Then stop saying this is a "whitelash" which implies that white people conspired together to elect a president who would be terrible for minorities when, if you were honest, you would just admit that this is tantamount to the fringe right wing in '08 saying that Obama was the, "Muslim jihadist president who would destroy 'murica!". If leftists honestly want a non-divided country, they need to quit bringing race into this, because at this point they are the only ones who are. Trump may have been the most popular republican president within minority groups of all time. It's always the white man's fault, and you wonder why we elect a crude, loud-mouthed candidate who wants to strongly bring order to this country. Maybe it's not because we're racist but we need some order.
It's funny, as all of this is happening, I'm studying the 'roaring 20's', as well as the ensuing depression, and I'm drawing a worrying amount of parallels between the present day and 1920's America, such as increasing foreign tariffs and enforcing a stricter immigration policy; therefore, I predict that, by the end of Trumps term in presidency (be it 4 or 8 years), American big business will start to flourish, but racial tensions will increase even further, causing riots or worse (unless trump/the government acts quick to calm the masses). Edit: Obviously, I'm not factoring in to account the current foreign policies already put in place since 1932, as well as the USA's current relations - which may result in more or less immigration - as well as Trumps willingness to follow through with his plans, and the masses' willingness to give in to consumerism, and current social attitudes.
Blame the left, my dude. Right wing 2016: "You're (insert race here)? Welcome! Left wing 2016: "how oppressed are you? You have to take our oppression test to enter. Anything under a level 60 on the oppression chart isn't allowed and you are the oppressor by default"
The only reason they're saying that Russia hacked is because Obama hates Trumps guts and will try to spoil his victory.
