Ill agree with that.
I am enjoying this way more than I thought I would, or should.
I guess after putting my head down and trudging through past 8 years going āAre you fucking kidding me?ā almost everyday itās like a pressure release valve.
We just threw a big orange monkey-wrench into the cogs of your machine. Wrenches thrown into machines wreck the machine.
Sam Harris said not long ago, speaking in support of Clinton and his frustration with her message he said the following, āIf right wing demagogues are the only ones who are willing to speak honestly about our problems, then we will elect right wing demagoguesā¦ā Yup.
We donāt like being told we are racist, we donāt like being called islamophobic, we donāt like being told weāre the problem and we need to change in the face of national and global issues. We do not like being led where we do not want to go. We donāt like being called names and then telling us we cannot fight back because weāre racist, or xenophobes or homophobes. We donāt like safe spaces and safe zones. We donāt like to be lectured in the face of tragedy about how we are to conduct ourselves after we lose 49 Americans to a terrorist attack.
We had enough of being told weāre the problem and we hit the big orange āSTOPā button.
Cry, whine and protest all you want, itās your right. Thank God.

The people who claim to be fighting intolerance, are the ones being intolerant. You would think the party of diversity would let you vote without being harassed or shamed, but if you wore a Trump hat you might have to run for your life. There was a protest in downtown yesterday, where they shouted ālove trumps hateā, while giving a middle finger in the air. Itās an ass-backward world these people live in.
Edit - the sadness the people in that video showed was their own fault. They were overconfident and didnāt take Trump seriously. They should be mad at Hillary, for a foolish strategy. Rather than go to Arizona, Texas, and Georgia to expand the map, she should have shored up Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio.

That is a good honest answer, I respect it
They did take his comments and relation to nationalists seriously, without that he would have won by even more. Can you imagine how popular he would have been against Hillary without all the negatives?
Oh boy
Has it occurred to you that the tactic of conflating republicans to racists might have provided a temporary feel good, and seemed like a strategic win, but ultimately turned out to be a loss?
The democratic party has created a disease of the mind by doing this and hemorrhaged membership, poisoned relationships, and lost control of every branch of the government.
You really donāt get that, do you?
Agreed. It could prove to make it difficult for them in the future to swing trump supporters back their way after calling them racist bigotsā¦ but, thatās 4 years away and that could all be lost.
Know he knows how HE and OBAMA made millions upon millions feelā¦
My sympathy will be spared at this point for him.
But otherwise, yes, he was actually very good on the whole that night outside the race card bullshit. He did well.
I donāt, and havenāt for awhile, and it has nothing to do with Trump or Clinton.
Atleast in this instance, yup.

But he wasnāt calling Trump Hitler
Ummm, the left has been calling republicans racist for the last 8 years at will, and since I was born in fact.
Guess what, Iām pretty sure Trump flipping non swing states that were HEAVY Obama in 2012 wasnāt racism, and that the āur da racistā strategy is dead in the water.
But by all means, keep peddling the same nonsense. It really worked out great Tuesday by stopping shitty trumpā¦ oh waitā¦

Trump isnāt even president and heās already done better than Obama abroad
I am still waiting for someone to explain to me how Trump is a racist, given that Mexican is a nationality and Islam is a religion.

I am still trying to get a feel regarding that White identity policy Thing.
In a way it is necessary amd inevitable given that identity politics is the Name of the Game, however it does not sit quite right with me.
It should not be this way.
Does anybody just go Adam Smith, pure capitalist style, and vote for who they think is going to mess with their money the least?
Or is everything an ideological, symbolic gesture?
There was a great Quote among New Yorker Jews during WWII ,. āyou might think you are American but Hitler knows you are a Jewā.
You simply cannot escape identity politics if one side starts it unilaterily.
