We are the majority. We have the most power. Our feelings do matter most. That is the reality.
This is the crux of the issue. The majority simply doesn't care about the minority and cares even less when the minority tries to shame them into compliance.

I have been warning about this. Go back and look at my post history. This result pisses me off to know end, i didn't want to be right, but i was.

This is the thinking that won the election for trump. Yes you certainly can be racist against whites.

No this won the election for Trump:

This was very much a push back against a changing country, white people eventually no longer being the majority and benefiting from privilege.

Here's something GAF might understand.

Tolerance and love means listening to and respecting someone who voted for Trump.

If you can't do that, you don't get it.

Tolerance and love is not equal to delivering shrill sermons at people.

P.S. I didn't vote for Trump. I'm not white. Thanks!

Excuse me to find it hard to feel tolerance and love for Hitler junior.

Why would I be tolerant towards homophobic sexist and racist assholes ? They want to end liberties of other people, that is where the line is drawn.

People are just willing to give the fuck up because some bad shit happens. Fuck all of you who give up just based on a GE. If that's all it takes, you are brittle cowards. Our system of governance is not yet collapsed. We can do a lot more good by staying up and being rational than by throwing our hands up and assuming that the only thing that matters in our country is an electoral vote.

No. The only time that our electoral process means more than we do is when we let it mean more than we do.
 
Mike Pence must be so fucking happy right now, hes going to be president

Oh god, this made me even more depressed. I pray nothing happens to Trump (Not that I would wish ill on anyone personally), because Pence is literally the only thing worst than Trump other than Cthulu or Satan hiimself coming.
 
I really hope all the fucking whiners that seriously fucked up in this thread, are going into activisim to keep this asshole in check.

Like seriously, you are the guys at fault, all the asshole on the american left that kept dismissing him as nothing, at every fucking stage of this election, like calling someone a racist will just make him disappear.

People called Romanes they go the house?
What if Trump gets 8? So quick to discount possibilities. Hell most people including myself thought he wouldn't even get close to winning!

I thought grabbing p------ was the nail in the coffin!

It'll be Pence with policy, as Donald has next to no actual policy.

Which means that the Dems are gonna need a helluva showing to knock him and Trump's Senate/House out come Midterms.

There will almost certainly be a recession within the next 6 months. He'll be out by 2020, but he'll do lasting damage to this country regardless.

The question is going to be (IF that happens), is Trump blamed, or does it fall back to Obama?

The Dems may cry foul, but apparently, if you shout that it's their fault loud enough (as the Republicans have continued to do), a large portion of the base eats it up.

Celebs who said they'd leave the US if Trump won. Let's see who's full of shit. I'm guessing nearly 100% of them.


Barbra Streisand
Bryan Cranston
Miley Cyrus
Lena Dunham
Amy Schumer
Jon Stewart
Cher
Chelsea Handler
Samuel L. Jackson
Whoopi Goldberg
Neve Campbell
Keegan-Michael Key
George Lopez
Ne-Yo
Rev. Al Sharpton
Raven-Symoné
Eddie Griffin
Natasha Lyonne
Amber Rose
Chloë Sevigny
Rosie O'Donnell
Omari Hardwick
Spike Lee

Everyone who says that kind of bluster is full of shit. We love hyperbole.
 
There was an incredible amount of arrogance and condescension in every HRC thread that was made around here whenever someone tried to say she wasnt a good candidate.
 
On French radio, some Republican official from Ohio talking about undoing eight years of economic failure and seeing 5% annual growth. What are these people taking.

When NBC plays that clip of Trump declaring ''I alone can fix it" I get a sense of dread. Something is so horrible about his attitude.

I'm not american but future international relations are so concerning. Putin will probably be able to bully a weak president which will have pretty dire consequences for Europe. And who knows how he will react to a crisis. Putin supporting Trump because he can take advantage of him seems to me more likely than them working together because they're friendly.
 
Would be nice if white people cared about the very real emotional reactions of minorities oppressed under their collective boot for the past 400 years like you're expecting the rest of us to do, even as you spit on our collective quality of life like this due to this political outcome.

#WhiteFeelingsMatterMost

you know how it is, we always have to watch our tongue

never mind the fact that the one thing that actually noticeably hurt Trump in endorsements was him saying something that could actually offend white people, after two years of him gleefully shitting on everything else under the sun

noticing the elephant in the room is the losing strategy

Dude this will have effects that go beyond 4 years. We're talking decades upon decades.

So much shit is about to be fucked that people aren't aware of

Social Welfare? Gone
Affirmative Action? Gone
Voter's Rights Act? Gone
Net Neutrality? Gone
Abortion Rights? Gone
Expanded War on Drugs
Marriage Equality? Gone
Minimum wage? In some states gone
Mass Deportation
Racial Profiling
Expanded corporate influence over the government
Even more tax breaks for the 1%

It goes on and on.

You're starting to sound like a republican with that tinfoil hat on.

Things might not be great under trump, but the president is still held in check. It's not a dictatorship.
 
One up-side... Ever since Trump's "second amendment guys" comment, I've been vaguely stressed by Hillary winning, and then being gunned down by a White Nationalist terrorist.

Now at least we know that's not going to happen.

Right, but now we have to see how those "jail her!" and "Hillary for prison!" positions work out.
 
I really hope all the fucking whiners that seriously fucked up in this thread, are going into activisim to keep this asshole in check.

Yeah, clearly we're at fault for this.
