Election Results Thread

[Godfatha]

I've said that this election has proven to me that there are essentially Two Americas, each operating on a completely different plain of reality.

This is evidently what you see/hear when you watch and listen to Trump. Me, I see an inveterate racist, with a long history of racism, stretching back to his days of evicting qualified black tenets from his properties, most of which were settled out of court after rightful lawsuits were launched against him.

When he speaks of minorities, he sounds like a belittling out-of-touch Manhattan elite, who has absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

But, again, this is just my reality, evidently not yours.

My reality is working in the real world with whites, blacks, and Hispanics all trying to provide for their families. My reality isn't the out-of-touch sheltered world of academia.

I hope Trump does make buddies with Putin. There is as much if not more oil in Siberia than in Saudi Arabia. **** the arabs and let them choke on their oil. Russians are nice people besides. And you can actually tell if their women are pretty. We just gotta settle that little Ukraine thing.

The one article I found about this says this:

While there is no evidence that Mr. Trump (Donald) personally set the rental policies at his father’s properties, he was on hand while they were in place, working out of a cubicle in Trump Management’s Brooklyn offices as early as the summer of 1968.

Geez, if that is enough to call a man a systematic racist, where's your outrage against Hillary? She literally called black people superpredators and crippled EVERY black community by lobbying for the insane crime bill in the 1990s.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

And let's all ignore Hillary's horrid record in supporting minorities.

Crime bill...
Whites only club membership...
Mentored by a KKK leader...
Calling Latinos taco bowls...
Excessively opposing gay marriage, then flip-flopping (public and private position JUST LIKE OL ABE LOL)...

She's an evil, devisive, hateful woman.

But she's deeply religious and carries a marked up Bible around with her.



At least that is what they said on CNN.

I've asked this at least 1,000 times. What has he done that you liberals consider racist? I can only think of two things that you have. 1) vow to stop illegal immigration. So it's racist to stop something that is illegal? 2) the talk of banning Muslims because of terrorism. You do know that a democrat president done this very thing, but it wasn't racist then?! I mean really, where is all his racist stuff. He has always been a public figure, and never accused of this until the election.

My firm (unfortunately) hires a lot of academic types.

Completely, and I mean completely, out of touch with what the average business owner we work with needs. It's always the PhD show.

Again, two separate realities. This election has made this clear.

Straight white males aren't the ones that are going to have to clean up the bigotry legitimized by Trump's election.

It means nothing to us and will affect us not one whit.

Of course it means nothing to us; we have that privilege.

You been watching MSNBC again?

 

[volfanjustin]

It's not a tired mantra.

I'm not saying he's going to imprison minorities or anything silly like that. He isn't Hitler.

Those are tired mantras.

What he is, however, is an enabler. I truly believe that he will set back race relations more than any individual - yes, even dreaded Obama - in decades.

If another one of you numbskulls calls me a "liberal" again, I'm not going to answer another one of your asinine questions ever again.

 

[ButchPlz]

Again, two separate realities. This election has made this clear.

Ok, again, show me exactly what these two separate realities are.

It sounds like you're living in a fantasy land echo chamber, but that could just be me.

I work in a distressed area of the country with black folks, white folks, Hispanic folks, gay folks, straight folks, and more all suffering the same amount.

 

[joevol33]

Ok I apologize, now please explain his racism that he's never been accused of until the election.

Very original. Haven't heard that one before.

One moment I'm sane, the next I'm one of those wacky, out-of-touch "academics."

Never accused of before the election?

I know that for many of us Donald Trump's history only began in 2015, but seriously, this is not a new thing.

Anyhow, thank you for your basic decency.

 

[hog88]

Again, two separate realities. This election has made this clear.

The only different reality appears to be yours.

You spoke of two realities, inferring yours was the correct one. No offense meant., but one reality is at best dealing with issues from a theoretical point of view and the other is dealing with issues from a practical point of view.

Of course I think mine is the correct one, just like you think yours is. No reason to get snippy about it.

I'm not dealing with theory or feelings. I'm dealing with what the man himself has said, what he has done, and who he has consciously enabled.

Anyhow, no point in discussing this any further as it will not change either of our minds.

Satanism has a bible too. Surprised she carries it around with her..

Will barry took us back to just after the emancipation, does that mean I need to be saving some $$ to make a purchase?

Damn, I knew I should have bought that cotton field last year!

You liberal.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Actually I'll believe he will improve race relations. It's the Democrats' modus operandi to pit groups of people against one another because that strife benefits them at election time. Trump has actually spoken to the black community without the use of divisivism and instead has a more inclusive message. I like his message to minorities of uplifting and improving their communities much more than the left's fallback of blame whitey. We will never have racial peace and mutual brotherhood in this country if one group is constantly being pitted against another.

I have a LBGT colleague of mine who is very distraught over this election. His first face book post of the day started with "I feel like I have woken up in a dystopian future..."

The guy normally possesses common sense but I was unaware that he got this emotional over politics. He is an intel guy to boot, so he should know a little better than believing this is the apocalypse. SMH

Drama is our thing.

I don't believe Trump is anti-LGBT at all. I think these sentiments are the result of the language and behavior exhibited by some of the more fervent Trump supporters. Trump's competition and the media did an effective job of transferring that behavior back to the candidate, so this is what we get from some folks.

People will gradually ease themselves off the ledge.

So Vladimir Putin apparently congratulated Donald Trump today on his winning the election?
