Count me in as part of the silent majority. It's simply not worth discussing politics because the minute people find out you voted for Trump they label you as a racist. It's a losing proposition. For every 1 public supporter of Trump there are 30 liberals ready to pounce and do everything they can to discredit the person as a wacko, racist, bigot, etc. etc. Easier for us just to stay quiet. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and free speech as long as its the same opinion and free speech of the majority I guess.
I find it laughable that in this area everyone thinks you vote the "right way" whatever that means. |
I do not think that word means what you think it means. |
|
+1. DC is probably the most intolerant city in the whole country. Well, such is life. Trump's second term will be so much fun. |
|
Look, by voting for trump, that tells me that his blatant racism, misogyny, xenophobia and overall disgusting behavior was not disqualifying to you.
Which is enough to make me think you are NOT a wonderful human being worthy of my time. End of story. |
Yes, if you are ok with all of that then that tells me all I need to know about you. |
|
Yes liberal women have gone too far voicing their Me Too stories, speaking up for gay rights and against Nazi protesters. Enough already! We should be able to grab crotch in the name of Jesus, without hearing you bitch about it. MAGA!

no one has answered my question of why white straight males should vote for any democrat
still waiting |
Why should they vote for a Republican, if not a multi-millionaire? White guys voting for Republicans is just another form of tribal cultural signalling. It's certainly not based on any logical policies. Most white UMC guys I know had their taxes go up with the recent tax legislation. So it's certainly not about lower taxes. |
When you have every white male candidate apologizing I find it hard to vote for a democrat |
This is a weird question. Here are the issues on the DNC site that they stand for. I guess if you are straight white male you don't care about these things: Civil Rights -- straight white males don't care about civil rights I guess unless it's their gun rights being threatened Education -- I know.. you like being uneducated.. you take pride in it. Environment -- straight white males don't mind drinking polluted water I guess. Goes with "education" above. Health Care -- straight white males don't go see doctors cause they are tough, so why does anyone else need access to healthcare Immigration Reform -- shut the borders. Don't let in anymore people from sh1thole countries, except if they're white, I guess Jobs and the Economy -- straight white males don't care about jobs because they all join the military or expect the government to open up tank factories to build more tanks that the military doesn't want. Government should give me a job if I want it. National Security -- straight white males are ok with our national security being threatened and having Trump over ride all the clearance rejections Preventing Gun Violence -- straight white males are ok with gun violence.. "from my cold dead hands" Retirement Security -- straight white males are willing to work till they die, except when they get laid off for being too old, then it's "damn those foreigners for taking my job" -- "see immigration reform" above Science and Technology -- straight white males don't believe in this. See "education" above. Voting Rights -- straight white males don't care if minorities have a harder time voting as long as white people can vote. |
Well, while you are waiting for that, may I also ask why should white straight females vote for any democrat? |
This is how you decide on candidates? Seems myopic at best. |
Care to educate me? According to dictionary.com it is the following: "silent majority. A term used by President Richard Nixon to indicate his belief that the great body of Americans supported his policies and that those who demonstrated against the involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War amounted to only a noisy minority." Which is exactly what I meant here...the people supporting Trump stay quiet why a noisy minority continues to beat the drum against Trump whenever possible and belittle any and all people who go against their opinions by smearing them and not using facts but rather labels like racist, bigot,etc when you can certainly look at Trumps policies and numbers and say the opposite is true. |
You are right on only one point. Trump's behavior is disgusting. Blatant is certainly not true without media exaggeration. But if we eliminated disgusting politicians we wouldn't have any. Trump might really be the most open President in history. Wonder what's on his mind? Read his Twitter feed. It's curiously refreshing and transparent. |
