+100 Critical thinking skills seem to be sorely lacking with this group of libs. |
...but black women, hispanic women, asian women, didn't vote for Trump in overwhelming numbers. He won 53% of the white, female demographic and its a legitimate concern as to why when there was a perfectly viable, sane white woman running for office. No one thinks anyone should vote based on their gender, but really the voting power of the white female demographic was a real slap in the face for one of their own. |
Well then Trump voters must be horribly disappointed. Trump's entire proposed cabinet and advisors consists of the top 1% (or top 1% of the 1%). It's great that you feel validated by Trump's feigned compassion, but he is going to completely screw you over. Starting with his Goldman Sachs appointees (see Manuchen - the king of foreclosures - at Treasury). Knowing what we do now, how can you not feel outraged at being so easily duped by a con man? |
and if Hillary won she would continue to screw us over even more "BIGLY". |
Really. How? Trump is systematically going back on every committment he made to middle America. Most of us knew that he would do so, but the speed at which he is doing it is truly breathtaking. Then he comes up with a reckless publicity stunt like the Carrier deal and you're lulled back into complacency. Maybe when the ACA goes away (along wih its subsidies for your health care), Medicaid evaporates, Medicare is restructured to throw away the elderly, your access to birth control and abortion is severely restricted (thanks Pence), people are routinely discriminated against for their color, ethnicity, religion, sex - and anythng else that 'good Christians' choose to hate - maybe then you'll wake up. |
| American white women voted for trump for the same reason minority women who have been here for decades did which is that they want economic opportunities for their themselves or their kids. In other words, they are American first. |
I think a lot of DCUM posters are too young to really know what Bill Clinton's behavior was like, and some mistakenly think it occurred AFTER he was elected. He may have been considered charming with great speaking skills, but his behavior was appalling. |
You should appreciate your mom more. I bet she has a lot of good qualities that you're not appreciating right now. She won't be around forever. |
+1 Politics should never be considered important enough to divide families and loved ones. |
Yup. No contest |
Exactly. Politics doesn't even divide politicians! Check out all the pics of George W Bush hugging Hillary and Michelle, or look at the Clintons' huge smiles in the pics at Trump's last wedding. |
???? At the time of this wedding there would have been no reason for politics to be a division. Trump was a Democrat until recently. |
point is, ding bat, politics' lines are blurry - and are based mostly on money and prestige, not on the left and the right |
So I just read the link provided by PP. Everyone else on this thread needs to do the same. There is a lot to discuss, regardless of your vote. |
It doesn't matter if he's a D or an R in the end. I'll bet you Bill and Donald have not yet played their last round of golf together (at an elite country club that wouldn't let you through their front doors.) All politicians ultimately speak the same language: $$ and power. |
