While I understand that Trump did certainly get the racist vote, I think those people voted republican previously anyway. Those aren't the people that Trump got to switch. I believe the larger factor is that a huge number of Americans are misinformed and fell for the political theater of Bengazi, Whitewhiter, George Soros as evil overlord, Global warming is a hoax, the mainstream media are liberals who want to destroy America, Government is the enemy of the people and on and on ad nauseum.Falling for any of that doesn't speak to their racism, while voting for a man who promised to enact racist policies...does. They didn't have to vote for clinton...or trump. I didn't.
Quote:They weren't lying. Those are actual beliefs, some espoused by minorities. And yes, I know those aren't reasons to vote for Trump, but you can't expect people to vote for a corrupt murderous person. That's why I said for many people Trump ran basically unopposed in their minds.We could go with "he won in spite of his racism"...when totally non-racist people voted for a man who promised to enact racist policies..if you like.....but I don't think that;s the case, personally....since they voted for a man who promised to enact racist policies. You telling me they -didn't- like the idea of the wall and mass deportations...banning muslims or the long running "damn furiners took our jyobs!" bit? He seems to think he has a mandate, and the trumpsters never miss an opportunity to show us how totally not racist they are......lol. They obviously lied to you, with the ommission of any racial motive...but it seems as though they;ve been lying to themselves on that count with some regularity, for some time...so?
That Trump won simply on racism is a facile argument.
"A black guy said some of this stuff" Usual Objection™ noted.
Quote:Are you kidding? Liberals have basically become bigoteers accusing anyone and everyone of racism/sexism/ageism for any and all disagreement. Political Correctness is alive and well.Nothing liberals do or have done excuses or argues against another's racism, you realize?
"Hur durr, I have a problem with political correctness" Usual Objection™ noted.
Look, I get it, you think that calling racists racists may have cost the dems the election, in part. I'm sure it did..because racists don't like to be called racists, apparently. Nevertheless......I see no value in denial in response to a national disgrace.
