Matt Walsh: You lost because Hillary Clinton is objectively terrible

[CharlesDavenport]

Great article. Three reasons they lost - they nominated a crook; people don't like being called racist, privileged, etc.; their policies don't work. Pretty simple. I would add The Donald rocks as well. Some highlights from the article -

You nominated a corrupt, deceitful, detestable crook who was the subject of at least two active FBI investigations.

It seems that the American people are rather hesitant to elect a woman who both looks and acts like the shadowy dictator in every dystopian young adult novel ever written.

Well, it turns out that white people don’t like being called racists every second of the day.

Most of your policies have proven disastrous, but let’s just focus on the big one for right now: Obamacare. It’s collapsing. We told you it would collapse. We told you it wouldn’t work. It can’t work. You didn’t listen, and now you’re suffering because of it. We’re all suffering because of it.

Good stuff. Warning, it's from The Blaze.

I love Matt Walsh and that was one of his better articles. Thanks for posting Chuck.

The one that hit home and continues to hit home to me is his point #2.

I actually was not about the "lock her up" mentality. I think she is a flawed candidate. I think her e-mail issue was worse than Petreas and he paid for it with his career (though he didn't go to jail). I think her pay-to-play "Foundation" is borderline traitorous, but I also think her team of lawyers probably toed that line as close to the edge without really breaking any laws.

And while Obamacare was a train wreck of a federal wasteful spending bill, there are parts of it I liked when passed. I think there should be a requirement to have insurance because healthy people really do need to pitch into the pot in order to make health care more affordable, just like auto insurance and my spotless record of 20 years pays for every bad, black woman driver with dings in her car (and yes, that was stereotyping).

But point #2 has been bothering me relentlessly now for almost all of Obama's presidency. And I can't express myself any better than the way Matt Walsh describes it. I know I was lucky to have been brought up in an upper middle class family. I know I was lucky my parents could afford to pay my college tuition with no debt on me. I'm trying to do that for my children as well (although it's harder). But I am sick and tired of being made to feel guilty about it. My family is 3 generations away from being dirt poor, central Pennsylvanian farmers that spoke more pig-German than English around the dinner table. And my family's good fortune was not "luck". It was the sacrifices of those poor farmers that worked sun up to sundown to give their children time to be educated and instilled in their children work ethic and hope.

Rising out of poverty doesn't happen with a magic wand or a snap of the fingers. Sometimes it takes GENERATIONS of families dedicated to making their children's opportunities just a bit better than theirs. It takes commitment to the family unit (because you can't do this as a single parent). It takes sacrificing your material desires and swallowing your pride and envy of neighbors. And that message is what is really lacking in our lower-middle class right now because of a propaganda machine spawned by Lyndon Johnson and the modern democratic party to keep millions in debt to their ever empty promises.

And yet I'm supposed to feel "guilty" of my "privilege". I'm supposed to acknowledge these same grandparents and great grandparents that worked so hard and I have so much respect did it illegitimately because there was "racism" in our culture (what a shocker) and should apologize for them.

I'm sorry... when the message starts going that direction, I'm going to take it personally. And I'm going to stand up and defend myself. And I'm going to feel angry.

And I think that message from the Ivory Tower containing "Big City" "Mainstream Media" and "Hollywood" elites is what really pushed rural America over the edge and caused this Donald Trump victory.

I think her do downfall was actually ObamaCare. When they announced huge increases in premiums good night Irene. And they asked Trump what he would do he said repeal and replace. While Hillary said she would change it. What was her idea of change, raise the tax on the uninsured?

But there is one thing I need to know. How many blowjobs did Madonna give and did she really swallow? And Bill doesn't count. He was first in line.

When you paint with a broad brush you alienate and push people away. Clinton choosing to call Trump supporters deplorable and the democratic party needing to lump all supporters as racist, sexist, misogynist...etc. is what pushed people away from the democratic party. Clinton has always had an issue with not relating to people, appearing on a soap box, and in general people not liking her. Nothing she did in this election made her any more personable or brought her any closer to middle class America. This election was not about racism, sexism, or any other straw man that this article wants to present. This election was about the revolt of middle class America against the continued Socialist agenda of the democratic party. This election was about personal responsibility, fiscal responsibility, and accountability. This election was about jobs that have been lost in main street USA thanks to agreements like NAFTA that we get the short end of the stick on as our jobs continue to go overseas. This election was about taking back control of our country and securing our boarders to protect US Citizens both as a means of physical protection but also economic protection and workforce protection. This election was about doing away with Obamacare and the staggering effects it has had on the insurance industry and the American public who have seen premiums rise 20-300% and deductible continue to climb. This election was about keeping the hard earned money that Americans work for in their pockets and not to additional social welfare programs for those that choose not to be productive members of society. Thank God that We the People have spoken and said enough is enough. If Democrats cannot discuss the issues at heart and instead must resort to mass generalizations, name calling, pandering, and propaganda to make their point, then so be it.

I have a friend from High School who is gay and understandably he's upset about the election results but he's dealing with it pretty well. He posted some things yesterday while frustrated and then later came back and more or less retracted and said he merely hopes that all the strides made recently in LGBT rights aren't stripped away.

I responded and said that I have both friends and family members who are dealing with the same fears and frustrations. However I truly don't think the world is ending. People have been told for so long by the media that Trump is going to do all these ridiculously radical things that they are literally whipping themselves into a frothing panicked frenzy.

I pointed out that I very seriously doubt the core of his rights will be impacted and in fact I would be among the first people voting against any legislation that attempted to limit or marginalize the rights of gays anywhere. I also wanted to ensure that he knew it would be handy knowing that somebody would be utilizing their 2nd amendment rights to protect HIS rights.

People are so ******* freaked out about Trump coming in and doing crazy ****... Sure, maybe Trump will shut down transgender bathrooms. Honestly I feel those may be dangerous to the transgender people going into them because too many people are just not ready and open-minded enough to deal with that. It creates a potentially dangerous situation. Forcing liberal policy through for the sake of progressiveness is not always the best idea when it puts people in danger. So, the trans-gender bathroom may be an area that, for the sake of safety, not other ridiculous morality bullshit or whatever, could be looked at.

Otherwise, I can't see or justify any changes in LGBT rights or policies. I don't see why people are ******* freaking out.

But the main point is - and I expect where I'm going to be unfriended... - is that I pointed out that Clinton voted AGAINST gay rights while she was a Senator in New York, and only changed her position for political expediency later on. Why all the people so desperately in love with her refuse to remember that is beyond me.

No, no, no. Obama-care has worked tremendously for who it was designed to work for: Big insurance and drug companies, at everyone else's peril. Obama was never there to serve the people, just the elite. Anyone not knowing this is as blind as a coconut.

I have a gay friend who absolutely just power freaked out over Trump getting in. She thinks it means Roe vs. Wade will be killed, that gay marriage will not be possible and it will create an environment where gay couples will be shot on scene for holding hands. She actually believe all of that. She says civil rights will take a giant leap backwards across the board. And, other than this subject, she is pretty rational and logical. I don't understand the Trump hate mania.

Because people, Libs especially, believe what the media and Democrat party tells them.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
-Joseph Goebbels


Nasty tactics the democrats use. It's nothing new.

I am certain that those bringing up LBGTQIGHNR Issues are more afraid of the influence Pence will have on Trump and his policy. Pence as a governor has been extremely anti LBGTQ in their opinion. He openly opposed allowing transgender into the incorrect bathrooms, he openly supported businesses having the right to refuse service to someone who was LBGTQ. Now granted, the whole uproar revolved around a very prominent christian bakery that refused to make a gay pride cake. In my opinion every business owner should be allowed to turn away a potential customer if they choose to. If the public decides not to frequent their store afterwards than the public has spoken and the store will eventually go away.

Trump could not care less about LGBT crap.

Trump is a Republican, therefore he wants to execute gay people. Oh wait, that's Muslims.
