Trump Won Because Leftist Political Correctness Inspired a Terrifying Backlash

    The intolerance and hostility in the Democrat left's extremely divisive and confrontational "Identity Politics" and "Political Correctness" agendas, both of which Barack Obama and his regime have certainly played a leading role in championing in our country over the last eight years, go far beyond just baselessly attacking people and calling them names.

    In fact, Obama has put the Democrat left's "Political correctness" agenda:
    1. Ahead of our national security through his sympathetic terrorism policies and his policies undermining the morale and effectiveness of our armed forces,
    2. Ahead of our law and order by undermining the personal safety and effectiveness of law enforcement officer's while effectively encouraging rioting, looting and criminal violence in numerous instances
    3. Ahead of the economic well being of lower income Americans by his open door immigration policies
    4. Ahead of the US constitution by refusing to allow the Senate to affirm what are obviously treaties with other countries, such as the Paris Climate agreement and the Iran nuclear deal
    5. Ahead of our bill of rights by supporting laws and regulations that undermine freedom or religion and freedom of speech
    6. Ahead of the integrity of our tax collection agency, by using that federal department to intimidate and harass the political opponents of the Democrat left
    7. Ahead of our education system by helping to shape an environment on university campuses that promotes this absurd "snowflake" culture riddled with "safe spaces" and "trigger warnings," and which has stifled the free speech rights of both students and professors alike
    8. Ahead of the integrity of the science community, by promoting a spectacularly partisan and intolerant Anthropogenic Global Warming agenda, demonstrated repeatedly to be nearly as corrupt as the Obama regime is, which has been funded aggressively by the US government and which will not tolerate any dissent by research scientists, at threat of the loss of not only research funding but also their jobs and careers
    9. Ahead of our national healthcare system, which as dysfunctional as it was, he and the Democrats have almost finished destroying through their ill-conceived, hyper-partisan Obamacare scam
    10. There are certainly more examples, if anyone else wants to add on.
    It would be hard to exaggerate how insidious and how harmful this agenda has been to our country and the people of our country over the last eight years. The relentlessly hostile, flagrantly dishonest, despicably anti-social nature of the tactics used by the Democrat left towards their political opponents almost demands a response as harsh as the election of a Donald Trump as President. In fact, it is pretty amazing to me that it has not resulted in a much more forceful, more retaliatory response than that. However, we may see that yet.

    Don't be obtuse. Trump isn't seen as an honest person for a reason.

    Try running a candidate that is not as corrupt from a party that embraced dubious tactics. Give us a better choice.

    I stand corrected, it was for lying to Congress (a family tradition).

    So all it takes for you to waste your vote is that? There were celebs wanting people to vote for Trump, it doesn't mean I just go and completely waste my vote. I'm not saying that's what you did I read your post as "That's what people are doing." but I think that's silly.

    That doesn't help the argument at all. You are allowed to openly support a candidate. Lady Gaga is big on the LGBT community and Trump has Mike Pence on his ticket. It's pretty understandable then why she'd be against him. I know people that aren't LGBT don't care or have any sympathy for them so they don't give a _____ because they think it doesn't affect them but it is what it is.

    Haha sure, we'll see. So when the DNC puts up a far cleaner candidate I expect a dominating victory in 2020 and I expect nearly every poster in here not named Rocketslegend, Dei, tmacfor35 to get behind the candidate right?

    I keep hearing from most other conservaties about how if only the democrats elected someone better this wouldn't have happened! Yet during the primaries all I saw from the right was that Bernie was a communist and would destroy the country and now all of sudden. "Yall should have gave it to Bernie, I would have voted for him."

    Teenage girls accused him of repeatedly walking in on them naked because he owned the pageant (he denies this but has actually bragged on tape about doing it)

    IIRC Trump boasted this on air to Howard Stern.

    Maybe people didn't want to waste their vote on Hilary. Who is anyone to judge how or why a person votes as they do.

    I'm not saying that people that didn't vote on Clinton wasted their vote.

    I'm just saying if you voted for Harambe because Lady Gaga decided that she was going to support a candidate that's F'n silly. She's an american citizen and has every right to tell people who she's voting for.

    And American citizens have every right to vote for who they want without having to worry about being verbally attacked about it.

    First of all Harambe is not a wasted vote. He died for our sins.
    Second my choices were between Hilary or Trump. Either one would have been me settling for one evil for another.
    Finally, Lady Gaga is a terrible artist and I don't want to associate myself with her.

    Fair enough (though I suspect its a bit of a dodge... would you be so "what have been proven" about accusations of a Democrat being accused, but... Trump admitted to sexually assaulting a woman on tape (though claimed it was simply "locker room talk"). A good number of these are new accusations, some of which are proceeding to court. One lawsuit was dropped after he started dating the accuser.

    Better candidate could also mean one that we conservativs are more ppolitically aligned with. This certainly would not be our socialist friend Bernie Sanders.

    It didn't. I just think it's sick to even talk about doing that to someone else's sister, mother, daughter.

    Why am i not surprised you would think a post like that was appropriate, even sarcastically.

    I don't know if the Democrats could offer a better candidate (baggage aside) for Republicans than Hillary Clinton, frankly. Unless this a culture issue, in which case, the Democrats are never going to be nominate a candidate that would appeal to social conservatives.

    In all honesty, if he did do this crap, he deserves a just punishment. The question is, is it going to be punishment like Hilary got for her irresponsible handling of classified info, or punshment of the common man?

    And I have every right to say if you voted for Harambe then you wasted your vote.
