    Wow...how do you account for the degenerates that are trashing our streets and rioting...These arent protests...they are burning and damaging property...Wanna know how this can all stop...If the current President made a public appeal to everyone...maybe just maybe people would calm down and try to move forward.

    Is that supposed to be your response to my post? Because it has nothing to do with it.
    What it is, it's an attempt to make a strawman argument. So let's see...according to your logic in my post I said : Trump supporters are racist..and everyone else who is against Trump is an angel who can do nothing wrong. Is that right? That's what you thought I posted?

    I think the more important thing here isn't that they may be racist. It's that they resent being called racist for having white skin while also thinking the system is rigged against them, and also for being called stupid and provincial for sticking to their religious convictions when it conflicts with the trend of public attitudes on various social issues.

    It's that resentment that pushed Trump to victory. Counteracting it by continuing to call these people racist, xenophobic, homophobic, etc. doesn't really address the problem. It only makes them stand firmer in their beliefs.

    Turn on your TV set, go on Twitter....so much for working and living in harmony. As for Glynch, he brought this on himself. For years Hugo Chavez was his daddy and Venezuela was his paradise, I just can't let him get away with gem like that.

    I am calling to your attention the absurdity of your post...I am a minority...My folks are immigrants...We all voted for Trump...stop throwing your tantrum and deal with it.

    Oh god. Since when do only white people are racist?
    If your religious convictions call for deporting, verbally attacking, isolating and threatening anyone who doesn't have them, then you are stupid and provincial for following them.

    The only problem is King Barry wants these degenerates to riot in the streets just like Ferguson, Baltimore ,etc....
    He could easily put a stop to all of this but he never does. Truly despicable!

    And?

    Oh hoho I'm a minority so I can't be racist. Is that what you are trying to say?

    This **** is the same like the crap East Asian countries say and americans laugh at them. Oh no we don't have racism in Japan..even though we bully, isolate and discriminate against everyone non Japanese. Only white ppl can be racists!

    Is racism a gene now passed down in the DNA?

    The new jobs will be automated, which might mean a few more jobs for the young people with technical educations but for the old guys with only a high school diploma, there won't be any new opportunities. Add in the fact that protectionist policies will likely increase prices, and that particular bloc of Trump voters will actually see their situation worsen.

    "You didnt get your way...Its racism..." this is the premise of your entire argument. In fact its the premise that most liberal arguments begin with. Forget the fact that the people that voted against Clinton hated the the way the country is NOW. IN your mind its all about racism...

    Guess you need more time than most to get over it. Really like the things you have to offer in the GARM...but my goodness, your meltdown in this subforum has been epic. Dont worry it seems you have plenty of company to share in your misery...

    No. My argument is : if you cast a vote with your own hand, in favour of a politician with a racistic, xenophobic agenda who also is a sexist then you by definition condone those ideologies and therefore that makes YOU a racist, xenophobe or islamophobe.
    That;s the meaning of vote. It is a responsibillity and now every voter is responsible.
    Exactly the same I would say to anyone who voted for Golden Dawn in my country.
    You can deny it all you want, but when the time came to make your decision you proved by actions what you believe in.

    "Turn on your TV set, go on Twitter..." Weak. How about "look in a mirror." Again, if you truly want the country to succeed, you have to start working towards solutions. If you'd rather look like a infant... continue on the route you are going.

    Sam was coming apart at the seams before the election when despite mounting evidence the Dems had a flawed and unlikeable candidate when he kept uttering up But Trump

    Now he has to sit back and stew in the fact that the Clinton campaign did keep her supporters ignorant until the very bitter end,

    The Dems around here and Hillary cried the night away wondering how this happened. Karma happened

    So everyone who voted for Clinton is a criminal?

    By the same token...you to must be willing to admit and concede that if you voted for Hillary Clinton you cast your vote...
    a. for a liar
    b. for someone who is two faced (telling the American public one thing and then telling her corporate donors another)
    c. for someone that is corrupt
    d. for a war monger...

    I am comfortable with my decision and so is half the nation. Like I said...please take your time...let it all out. It truly seems you are progressing in your stages of grief. Have a snickers while your at it...

    Crime or corruption is not an ideology.

    LOL... most of the republicans start their posts claiming they didn't support or vote for Trump. And you point at Democrats as being "butthurt". Heck, everyone should be concerned about what Trump will do as President. And apparently almost as many republicans (if you can believe what they post here) are unhappy with who is now President as Democrats...

    This.

    Double down on these tactics at your own peril, lefties. After Trump's victory, these people are going to feel like they are part of something larger than themselves now. They are going to feel empowered and strong. They are going to feel like kicking your asses if you don't watch your step. You should interpret that literally. While the violence over the last few days has been almost entirely leftists rioting and such, we should now expect there will come a point when we see violence reciprocated against some of these people. It surely will not be as pervasive as what we have seen from the Democrat left in places like Baltimore, or around the country over the last few days. But there are sure to be at least a few incidents.

    The efforts of the left to make these people feel like they were isolated and alone in their attitudes and beliefs have officially failed utterly. Whatever sense of power and control the left has derived from that sense during the presidency of Barack Obama has now been revealed as a fraud. These people will be empowered by this event like you may not be able to imagine just yet.

    So, if you people are smart, you will stop this vile, dishonest, anti-social, bullying crap.

    Ok. You are comfortable in supporting and endorsing racistic xenophobic discriminatory and sexist views and therefore proving that you follow some of them yourself. That's honest. Much better than those who want to hide their head in the sand.

    Grief. I am not grief stricken. Yet. However reading this forum and seeing the results I now believe that a good part of the american population is mentally challenged.
