For those surprised look in the mirror. It was you.

[Tim Steelersfan]

What a wonderful day watching Liberals and Dems running around with that confused, tear-filled look on their faces, wondering - how did this happen?? None of them, not a one, is looking in the mirror. They've become accustomed to using divisive, insulting, condescending rhetoric. We see it on this board all the time - alt right, CONservatives, racists, islamaphobes, xenophobes, homophobes, the under-educated, the back woods rednecks, the retards. And yet today, these people who've adopted this language as acceptable, still don't get it.

You caused this. You are a part of this. You, with your offensive insulting demeanors drove us to the polls in record numbers. You defeated your candidate and you don't even get it.

Last night was a message of epic proportions. Those trodden on, those demeaned, those insulted said enough is enough.

Todd Starnes said it best. This should be Hillary's epitaph....

===========================================================================================

"Our long national nightmare is over and the Republic has been saved.

I’m originally from the Deep South. My father, who passed away in 2006, was a blue-collar worker. We lived paycheck-to-paycheck. We went to church on Sunday. We lived a quiet life – just like many families in so-called “Fly-Over Country.”...

I’ve lived in New York City for more than a decade now – and I’ve seen firsthand the contempt for country folks like my father – people from rural America.

As I wrote in my book, “God Less America,” I feel like a “Duck Dynasty” guy living in a Miley Cyrus world – where right is wrong, wrong is right – it’s as if our values have been turned upside down.

President Obama called us bitter. He said we were the kinds of people who cling to guns and religion.

Time and time again he stood on foreign soil and apologized for our nation. And to this day it remains unclear whether he believes the United States is the most exceptional nation on Earth.

Hillary Clinton called us deplorable – irredeemable.

"To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the 'basket of deplorables. Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it."

The only thing deplorable was Hillary Clinton's basket of grossly generalistic comments.

"And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up," she went on to say. "He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric."

Her campaign portrayed Conservative Catholicism as a “bastardization of the faith” and seemed to imply that Evangelicals are a bunch of impoverished country bumpkins.
We were mocked by Hollywood and dismissed by academics. We were marginalized by the media – bullied and belittled by sex and gender revolutionaries.

But all that changed on Election Day – when Donald Trump became a champion for the Silent Majority. He gave us a voice. And now the Silent Majority is silent no more.
We the People have decided that it’s time to drain the swamp.

It’s time to restore traditional values. It’s time to protect the Constitution. It’s time to defend our sovereignty. It’s time to save unborn babies.

It’s time to stand up for the American working man and bring jobs back from China and Mexico. It’s time to eradicate the scourge of ObamaCare.

And it’s time to hire the bricklayers so they can start building that giant wall.

The Deplorable Americans have spoken – and on the eighth day of November in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Sixteen – we have decided to Make America Great Again."

Dependent of course on how arrogant and hard headed your clown president decides to be.

Cant be any worse than the last 8 years. Even if Trump does nothing, its better than intentionally trying to destroy our country.

Oh, the one about anger not being a policy? Better tell that to the lefties:

Blocking traffic, interfering with people trying to do their jobs or get home, shouting "Not my President." All the left has - literally, it's only unifying trait - is hatred.

**** them.

[deljzc]

Could you imagine the adjectives that mainstream media would be using if the table was turned.

What if Clinton won in a close race? What if a bunch of southern, young whites waving confederate flags got together in Tuscaloosa or Baton Rouge or College Station are started yelling "Not my President" and "Lock her up". Blocked streets and caused businesses to close.

This could be very feasible. We all know it. And I'm not even blaming the young adults in either scenario (unless violence or vandalism happen, but let's not go there yet).

My question (and we all know the answer) is how these situations would be covered and DESCRIBED differently by main stream media. What adjectives would they be using? What would we be told to "feel" about these two scenarios? What type of "reflection of society" would these be characterized as?

And THAT difference, which we all know would exist, is why so many in this country are tired of the status quo.

We already know. Look at the BLM incidents. The people protecting their land from Federal over-reach. Labeled modern day white, Christian terrorists and vilified. We don't have to guess what the media would do to them. We've been there.

And voila...we have Trump.

If you're republican/conservative you are vilified. A lot of my family members who are hardcore democrats call me racist, etc. I'm hispanic. So I can already imagine what it's like being white and being called a white supremicist, etc. We all just want to see an honest, hard working country prosper. Not have a bunch of self entitled, spoiled, dumb ***** riot and loot just cause they don't get their way

Yeah lets talk hate:

Oh and the candidates were supposed to accept the results, these people have a legitimate anger we have just let a fascist clown racist into the White House.

The narrative the media pushed about "white high school males" is only a small part of the story. The majority of Trump voters average about $72,000 a year, this was about race.

This is racism.
Let’s call this what it is

Donald Trump won the presidency last night. Many voters were stunned, after the media overwhelmingly predicted a Clinton win and Trump began to look desperate, sending a lawyer to Nevada to demand information about when a line ended for early voting. Now, Americans are looking back at the past few months and trying to understand what happened.

In the days before the election, the Washington Post published a piece entitled, “What is this election missing? Empathy for Trump voters.” But a lot of people who have watched this election closely pointed out there has actually been a lot of outpouring of empathy for Trump voters.

Throughout the campaign, the media was on a perpetual quest to understand what attracted people to Trump’s message. Journalists considered economic disadvantage as a major factor for why Trump voters felt unheard — and interpreted Trump’s support as evidence that these people reject the establishment Republicans and Democrats who have left them behind.

That was the popular narrative for months. It appears that many members of the media wanted to consider anything but racism, as if it couldn’t possibly that be so straightforward. But it really is.

America’s demographics are changing, and they’re changing quickly. By 2055, there will no longer be a single racial or ethnic majority in the United States and 14 percent of the country will be foreign born, according to the Pew Research Center. Forty-three percent of Millennials are people of color.

Let’s be clear: This is scaring white voters. White people believe that they are more often the victims of racism than black people, according to a 2011 new study from researchers at Tufts University’s School of Arts and Sciences and Harvard Business School. The research also found that white voters perceived social progress for people of color to be much swifter than it actually is.

The authors wrote, “These data are the first to demonstrate that not only do whites think more progress has been made toward equality than do blacks, but whites also now believe that this progress is linked to a new inequality — at their expense.”

Research has also established that as U.S. demographics shift, the pro-white and racist attitudes of white people become more apparent, according to a study from New York University and Northwestern University. The same researchers also found those who read about these demographic changes often are generally more supportive of conservative policies and more likely to identify as conservative.

Throughout history, there are many examples of how the racism of white voters has been mobilized to favor a candidate for president. We saw Barry Goldwater and President Richard Nixon employ the Southern Strategy, which took advantage of white people’s anxieties about the economic and social advancement of people of color. Writing in Slate, Jamelle Bouie describes this pattern of progress and white backlash, starting with the Reconstruction:


Like clockwork, white Americans embraced a man who promised a kind of supremacy. We haven’t left our long cycle of progress and backlash. We are still the country that produced George Wallace. We are still the country that killed Emmett Till.

We have also seen these fears manifest themselves overseas as European far-right political parties with anti-immigrant sentiments win historic victories.

The fear of white voters — the fear we will no longer be at the center of American politics and culture, having our needs tended to first, and the fear that we will be asked to acknowledge our role in white supremacy and to stop doing harm to people of color, whether it be violence or perpetuating racist stereotypes — has always been there. Now, we need to acknowledge that it is largely what motivated Trump voters. A majority of Trump supporters said they saw black people as “less evolved” than white people, according to a Slate survey with a sample of 2,000 non-Hispanic white people.

When we say that class is what takes a Trump voter from dangerous to misguided and confused, we are condescending to low-income people living in rural areas. By doing this, the media takes away their agency and suggests they didn’t know any better. But they know exactly what they have done.

The economic hurt experienced by some Trump voters — along with whatever stereotypes people hold about Americans living in rural areas, especially the southern United States — does not allow anyone a free ride to support a racist presidential candidate.

And as Dylan Matthews explained at Vox, we don’t actually know that this “economic anxiety” characterization of Trump supporters is accurate. An analysis from Gallup’s Jonathan Rothwell found that personal finances alone couldn’t account for Trump supporters’ motivations. On average, his supporters did not have lower incomes than other Americans. The analysis did find that the voters’ concerns may be for their children and their ability to find work that doesn’t require a lot of education. But these supporters were also the most likely to have issues with immigration despite the fact that they were least likely to meet an immigrant in their neighborhood.

In fact, the research shows that people’s racial resentments are what correlate with their support for Trump.

Nonetheless, many members of the media have remained focused on the anxieties of working class Trump voters — all while failing to acknowledge that many people of color belong to the working class, and that these people weren’t supporting Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton’s gender has also introduced another media narrative that Trump’s success represents the country’s rejection of female leaders. That isn’t entirely wrong, but it’s missing something far more important. White women are no less culpable than white men for the election of Donald Trump.

White women (53 percent of them) voted against this white woman and for this white man who has fully embraced white supremacy. The racism of many white women in this country overwhelmed any interest they may have had in seeing the first female president. Their vote was just as harmful as the white men who voted last night. As white women, we need to look at each other and demand that we do better in the future. A feminism that ignores their decisions is not feminism at all but a continuation of white supremacy.

]When we remember Donald Trump’s now infamous words at the Republican National Convention about how some Americans have been forgotten, and other Americans are doing well, it’s important to realize he wasn’t talking about the working class. He was tapping into the idea that for people of color to succeed, white people need to lose something.

 

[Steeltime]

Yeah lets talk hate:

Oh and the candidates were supposed to accept the results, these people have a legitimate anger

No, they don't. We counted the votes, the snowflake SJW's lost, move on.

Oh, and lecturing me about anger not being a policy, while justifying these fuckknobs and their idiotic, Soros-funded bullshit where they destroy private property and greatly inconvenience people just trying to get to work or do their job or get home to their families.

So does the hypocritical elfiePoloFakeEbonics chastise those ********, call them out for being spoiled ****s, tell them to funnel their energy into something useful? Nope, of course not.

I hope they stand on the freeways tomorrow morning and get run over.

You're not helping yourself there Elfie. The rest of your post isn't worthy of attention if the reader cant get past the first sentence without it being a blatant lie and disingenuous,
Trump comes clean with his fingerprints on nothing political. His fingerprints are on none of the failures that you that you demoRATS are responsible for.

ObaMao is a facist. Has demonstrated it over and over. There is fascism in the White house and the DOJ.
You want a list?

DemocRATs have always been the chief purveyors of racism, and the vast majority of comments racist in nature have come from the mouths of DemocRATS..
Wanna list?
When Obamao first ran for president did you agree with Joe Biden when he talked about how nice it was to have "a clean articulate black guy" running for office?
New York is Hymetown, there Jesse Jackson, and Obama couldn't sell watermellons there Dan Rather.

And if you had one iota of common sense, you would realize the result of this election wasn't the result of a bunch of racist whities turning out to vote.

That would have occurred more than 8 ******* years ago at the thought of a black man being president you simpleton liberal.


Yeah I know "simpleton liberal"...redundant.

 

[IndySteel]

Once Trump is in office our cops will be able to start enforcing the law again. I can't wait. Crack some skulls!

 

[oicu8ad]

Man I love this.

Too late for the election but new video just found of Donald Trump being racist.
