    Sure, but not all the people who voted for trump were Republicans and it is too simplistic to say that they all voted for him because of hate towards minority groups. I'm not saying that no one voted for him because they hate x-group. Just that most people most likely voted for him because they thought he would fix the economy.

    I don't think most people who voted for him expected that he was gonna go completely apeshit like he has. I sure didn't think he was gonna be this insane. And no I didn't vote for him and no I'm not American and no I can't just mind my own business because American politics is literally shoved down everybody's throat all over the world.

    But I will say that acting like it was all about bigotry for every single person who voted for him is too simplistic a take, like many other people in this thread have also said.

    Well, I can only go on the magas in my life. I have a lot of them, and they are all bigots, in addition to whatever other justification they claimed.

    (Setting aside their ahem naivete at thinking he'd fix the economy.)

    I don’t think most people who voted for him expected that he was gonna go completely apeshit like he has. I sure didn’t think he was gonna be this insane.

    There's been a nonstop drumbeat of people including Trump himself telling everyone that he'd go EXACTLY this apeshit, so I don't know why.

    Sure, but not all the people who voted for trump were Republicans

    They all knew who Republicans were though.

      How is the status quo not the goal of conservatism? It's literally in the name.

      Republican voters and non voters are absolutely against the changes they are seeing come from left-leaning or liberal populations. The status quo is literally to not change what already is.

      Ever heard of doublespeak? Nothing in American politics means what it says on the tin. Just like how Dems are the "left." Modern right wing movement that supports Trump is populist.

        there was plenty of things besides pronouns that dems had to offer. like boosting new homeowners and offering incentives to new families having babies. racism and misogyny overruled it though. "i'm gonna ban all muslims and mexican are rapists!" won out.

        America is looking at the proverbial mirror and realizing its full of racist, morons and people who think women can't lead; and no amount of 'well Kamala and Clinton didn't get me excited and offer me anything' will excuse that.

        I have no idea what policies you're talking about in regards to homeownership and child incentives, and I'm extremely well read on politics. So yeah, 100% that the average American doesn't either.

            Let’s be real: Yes, the Democrats ran a historically tone-deaf campaign. But Trump’s entire economic pitch boils down to ‘Just believe me, folks! The same empty promise he made before leaving office with record job losses, broken supply chains, and an economy in freefall. I get what your saying I just have trouble believing voters are this desperate to blame ‘wokeism’ that they’ll ignore:

            • The $7.8 trillion he added to the debt?
            • The 3 million jobs lost under his watch?
            • The fact his ‘miracle economy’ was a sugar rush of tax cuts for billionaires?

            It’s a death wish for the middle class.

            You better believe it. Have you spoken to them? I speak to Trump voters every day. It's what he says that matter. They do not give a shit about what he does. The Dems don't speak or do anything about these things so can you blame them for choosing him despite all his lies? At least he talks about the issues.

              agree, the inclusion movement went too far into dictating how people should behave and cancelling people on the basis of any perceived offenses and that gave electoral leverage to the current president

              The inclusion movement hasn't gone too far. It's been turned into a lightning rod for Dems to banter about and clutch their pearls over without actually offering any real solutions to the problems people face.

                  Why do you think she wouldn't? She and her party showed in recent years they will do anything Israel orders them.

                    Probably not. She didn't highlight it. Her main issue was abortion, which is divisive and/or indifferent to a lot of people. It's not something that should ever be the centerpiece of a campaign.

                      she did, maybe the media didn't though. Her main issue was that she was female and had a darker complexion. Otherwise she was a clone of Biden.

                      The highlight of republicans seems to be trans people. a trivial and totally made up problem and yet, here we are. Gee I wonder why.

                          dems will continue to lose until the US stops becoming transphobic, racist mysoginists shithole. Wake up

                          How's that deficit going? How's environmental protections going? Hows citizen birthrights going? It all goes back to greed and hate.
                          Its not the candidates problem, its the citizens. "FUck you I gOt MiNeS!"

                            No it's a candidate problem. Blaming citizens is the same as Republicans blaming people for being poor. They are ignorant because there are no good leaders inspiring people to be better. And it's of course because of money in politics. Decent people simply aren't put up to run. Only the most bootlicking frauds are allowed to run. Dems are owned by corporate donors just as much as the Republicans.

                              i don't recall democrats ever making campaign promises to ban an entire religion, and build a wall around mexico because its full of rapists. Any comparison there?

                              Sure they are both backed by money, but only one is backed by hatred and malice--thus the mass shootings and prejudice. This isn't new information MLK was shot for working against this...

                                Me neither, but I do recall them going after people of a certain religion, and sending them to torture prisons. I remember them fast-tracking a bunch of funding for the wall, and deporting more people than first-term Trump.

                                So sure, maybe they didn't campaign on being evil, but once they had the power, they sure acted evil.

                                    No, I mean after 9/11 when Obama continued Bush's policies, including torturing people at black-sites, and bombing children overseas. I also mean when Biden sent Haitians off to torture camps in Guantanimo. I also mean when Biden spent a bunch of money expanding ICE, the border wall and our military.

                                    So yeah, if you keep ignoring when Democrats act evil, you won't have any memory of them acting eveil. I suggest next time you look for data, before saying that you don't remember any data.

                                      If obama had stopped what bush had started he would have been obstructed, like he was with everything else. By the way, who killed Bin-Laden? Who actually got stuff done? Who expanded drilling for oil and nixing environmental protections? They are leagues apart and the only thing shouting "both shides are the shame" is doing is harming the country and turning us against each other. They aren't the same.

                                      This is akin to civil war apologists saying it was about state rights and not human rights. Republicans would have smoked smokey the bear with a 12 gauge and then posed with his corpse; conservatives literally had their soldiers stacking iraqi's like pyramids and electrocuting their genitals but no! "both sides are the same"

                                      im tired of it. Its not the same, no matter how much you white wash it.

                                        Then he should have gone down fighting. He chose to grow the wars because his doners wanted him to. And if by "got stuff done" you mean "bombed kids", or "tortured innocent people" or "sold out homeowners to protect the banks", then I'd say it was indeed Obama. You know who also expanded drilling for oil? Biden

                                        I'd rather have politicians who try for what I want and fail, than politicans who are successfull at what I don't want.

                                        Also, please point out where I said both sides are the same. It's amazing to me how liberals constantly yell at me for things I do not believe, and haven't said.

                                          imagine being half white but the entire country calls you the first black prezzo. Imagine passing the affordable care act saving peoples lives from financial ruin and it was a republicans idea but it gets called Obama-care. Imagine old women calling you the N-word live on tv at Mccains rallies. Imagine bumper stickers with target sites over your face donning pickup trcuks. They are not the same my guy. Obama was up against the wall and did what he could to keep the nation together and did. And he not only did it but he did it with finesse. (and this isnt even mentioning the hate his wife got for daring to be african american) America is a racist country, desperately trying to downplay Obama's legacy by equalizing him to trump a cheating loser who failed a university, casino (multiple) stiffs contractors, insults disabled people, deregulates environmental safety regulations, I could go on and on. They are NOT THE SAME.

                                          But go ahead, keep thinking both sides are the same, it makes you sound so smart! What a smart man you are!
