Is it really worth it for Republicans

[Jackie]

Bullshit, I watched the women's march live on CSPAN, you  are flat out lying if you say it was nothing but white women. That march was very diverse. They had black women and Arab women and Native American women and Hispanic women as well as men with different skin tones and backgrounds. Minorities are called minorities for a reason. 

No, the tax march was because politicians should not be allowed to hide behind anything. Transparency is what prevents corruption by EITHER party, and utter nonsense to claim that is a skin tone issue.

I disagree. 

12% of registered voters are black.  That means 20-25% of democrats are black.  That's approx between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5.
12% of registered voters are hispanic.  They're closer to 70%? democrat.  That's 1 in 6ish.
Add those together, that's north of 1 in 3 registered democrats are Black or Hispanic.

Just googled, and took the first results for the women's march:






If more than 1/3rd of your party black and hispanic, it shouldn't feel like Where's Waldo trying to find them.

And I don't dispute that transparency has nothing to do with skin color.  I do dispute whether or not minorities give a shit about it.  You don't think poor black communities are watching a million white people turn out for tax returns and 'women' in some ambiguous sensel, and wondering what the hell happened to the BLM movement, or the Flint Michigan issues.  You listen to Chappelle, Rock, and Che, and there is some definite disdain towards liberal white folks and their dopey marches.  

I think BLM got shoved to the back burner the night of the convention when Michelle Obama turned into the white chick from the first episode of the Newsroom who asks the question about "Why do you think America is the Greatest Country on Earth!?"  And oh how the white dems cheered!  America's the best!  And they got all excited.  And then come election day, they couldn't figure out why black people didn't come out.

You have no fucking clue what you are talking about, and those pictures are wide angle and far away. I watch the march on TV and again, it included tons of minorities even if they were not the majority. Thus the term "minority". 

And thank you for insulting Michele, glad she didn't suceed at life and get a law degree......OH WAIT. You calling her a sellout is that it? Is there some class oath white people belong to? Cause last time I checked someone living in the  city on minimum wage has the same problem poor rural whites have. The difference is, and Michelle would agree, is that the economic gap still affects minorities at a higher rate.

I don't owe you shit, I don't owe whites shit, I owe my fellow citizens honesty and right now we do not have enough stability economically. That should not be a race issue, but it is because of morons like you.

Black people didn't show up for Hillary, not because she didn't care, but because the GOP hamstrung Obama, but have been holding our entire nation hostage since Reagan. 36 YEARS of GOP gerrymandering has given those assholes a majority of state houses, and governorships and the majority of power in congress ON AVERAGE in that period. If you want to blame anyone for blacks not showing up blame the ASSHOLE GOP for their dickish voter ID laws and 36 years of gerrymandering voting districts.

I just don't understand. Is it worth having Trump in office? The guy is doing more damage to their party than anyone can imagine. Take Georgia for instance. In 2018 people are going to be voting in protest against that Orange retard. He was recently caught in a BIG lie about sending an armada to North Korea. You know what's funny? My Trump friends are still making it about Hillary. lol

Oh no!  He got got in a lie!  Guess it's game over.

What is being missed by the groups out protesting as they post pictures of their massive crowds, is that those crowds are lily white.  The women's march was really the white women's march.  The tax march was really the white people's tax march.  While white people are losing their shit over catching Trump in lies, flip flops, and tax returns, and sharing their hot takes on facebook, the part of the left base that needs to be activated doesn't give a shit and nobody is noticing.

I don't know what your post has to do with the OP but I'll bite. My daughter and I were at the Tax Day March and we're going to the March for Science. She's half Mexican, does that count?

Well, personally I expect blacks and other minorities to check in before they get to marching in the streets, so we can keep the demographic stuff accurate.

It also would let us know where to station the most police, amirite?

In regards to the OP, I think OP is assuming that more people are reacting to Trump the way he/she is than is actually the case.  I used to think I was part of a bloc of maybe 30-40% of the republican party.  That there were religious nuts, and weirdo libertarians, but mostly, it was reasonable people who wanted government to provide a practical structure for society to run in.

I realized in 2012, when Mitt, who is a competent intelligent man, was polling at 12%, and the other 88% was going to an assortment of some of the fucking wackiest wackos imaginable.  An 8-8-8 pizza guy.  Rick Perry.  That lady with the weird face.  Cruz.  Huckabee.  Just a wide assortment of people who should very very obviously not be in charge of anything.   At that point, I realized that I wasn't representative of 40%.  I was probably representative of closer to 5-10%.  

The Left has a similar problem.  There is, my guess, about 20% of the country that thinks they are 55% and acts like they are 80%.  So when OP says "This is going to kill Trump", I think he is vastly overestimating how much of the country he/she represents.
