The fact that this country's politicians allowed a reality TV start to be elected should embarrass you. Hillary Clinton et al carry the most blame in this equation. So if you want to be pissed, be pissed at them for fucking this all up. This wasn't a vote for him (for most), this was a vote against Clinton. Your anger is misdirected.
You don't know what I take pride in and I never said I voted for Trump. I just find the hypocrisy of the vocal Clinton supporters interesting. I wanted her to win, for the record. I just don't necessarily agree with the anger towards Trump supporters. If you are a liberal then you are a Jon Stewart fan and even he stated the obvious- you can't label a Trump supporter a racist because they voted for him. It's fucking ignorant to do so.
Don't you all get it? Americans don't really think it matters who represents them. Obviously. And for the most part they are right. What is going to chanee in the day to day lives of *most* Americans? Nothing. I find it hilarious about all these people griping about "not feeling safe". I would love for that to be defined. So Trump is president and all of a suddent people are going to be walking the streets with bats beating minorities and same-sex couples? Ha! The fear is media driven, like just about all of this other nonsense. The anger against cops, discontent in this country....is all for good reason, but the flames are stoked by a biased media and at the end of the day all it does is add further fuel to the fire.
Nothing will change. It's pointless- the pendulum will continue to swing, back and forth. The answer is so fucking easy- a socially liberal, fiscally conservative candidate. Would win hands down- but neither side cares. The polarization of our political system no doubt represents the polarization of the American public. We live in a poisonous society- and the growth of the internet, facebook, and forums like this is the source of the venom.
No, the fact that our country is filled with enough dumb people that would vote an unqualified reality TV star for president is what embarrasses me. During international travel for business, I had foreigners laughing about Trump making it to the top two. The rest of the world is laughing at us, and I get it.
Please show me where I call Trump supporters racists. I think you are making stuff up, but I'm willing to wait for proof. Obviously, if I'm responding to a clearly racist post, that probably shouldn't count, unless I'm generalizing at the same time.
The media bias, lol. It's all the media's fault. What a joke. If the media was so biased, why did Trump win? Everybody is just too smart, lol? So dumb. The only people that bitch about the media are Fox News diehards.
Nothing will change? Okay, I hope you are right. Last time we had a Republican in office we ended up in multiple wars, the housing market crashed, and we ended up in the Great Recession. Obama took over in the worst of circumstances and turned things around, despite being fought the whole way by Republican pukes that shut the government down out of spite for America. Fuck that party. That's why I broke personal tradition and voted democratic.
