I’m going with the deplorables( not my term for his base) angry white folk who thought this clown could magically fix thier fucked up lives. Give them back coal jobs, $1 health insurance, opioid crisis would disappear and the would never have to see an educated woman or person of color again.
Well the problem with that is that they’re a minority themselves. Just look at the numbers from the election and you’ll see that the two of them combined didn’t get half the votes.
Then you add in the ??Hillary voters that were independents or were disenfranchised democrat voters and the republican or die voters and you’ll see that maybe an 1/8 of those who voted for him actually fall into the category of “ deplorables “
Which is why I get so upset with people on here and elsewhere giving them so much power and him so much credit.
This country needs a representative that will hopefully unite us beyond all of our prejudices but the two party system will never allow so we will be eternally divided and at each other instead of those who are actually making our lives miserable while getting paid 6 figures and a lifetime pension for 4 years of doing what!?
@48thRonin I give your president zero power or credit.
I do not share your experience over the past six months or so of being on this site of giving him power. People engage in debate quite often. The right wingers are a vast minority in the atheist community.
I agree with most of your points. Unfortunately the damage your current regime has done In regards to normalizing bigotry, misogyny will take a long time to rectify.
@Green_eyes Why does he have to be my president??
Why must everyone assume that because I don’t like HRC as a person or politician for that matter that i must love trump.
Geeez the assumptive ignorance is almost overwhelming.
I campaigned for Bernie Sanders and voted for Gary Johnson because I refused to told to choose between the giant douche and a turd sandwich.
And see that’s why I act the way do because I’m surrounded by people who can’t accept that we have choices and more than two ? and sometimes because we’re forced to choose between just two we choose the wrong one and mainly because the majority of us refuse to participate.
I’m just asking would you keep going to the same fast food restaurant if the only choices you had were a hamburger or a chicken sandwich?
No! so why is it acceptable when it comes to our political system? I’m just saying
@48thRonin I say he’s your president as I’m not American.. that’s all. You read WAY to much into it.
@Green_eyes Sorry about that but as much as I like having fun and learning from other intellectuals on here I apparently failed to read the leave your democracy at the door sign when I checked in.
And since I was a Bernie supporter I actually found it kinda offensive to hear that since I had a bad opinion of Hillary and a neutral one of trump that I was in part responsible for the mass casualty event that has damaged some many people on here.
So I’ve become a little hyper defensive and I do apologize
How about a campaign message that said "Its my turn"
Umm... she lost? Trump's in charge now? No-one gives two shits about Hillary anymore.
The only reason I can see for anyone bringing it up is as a frantic attempt to distract from the current clusterfuck that the USA is enduring.
BTW, how's that whole Mueller thing going? How many more members of Team Trump are in jail since I last checked in? I mean, it has been a whole 48 hours...
@48thRonin My mistake. I thought humour was supposed to be funny. I guess two year old jokes are about your speed.
And username 48thRonin? Cartoon samurai avatar? No actual photos of yourself?
Overcompensate much?
@MrBeelzeebubbles Wow is that air leaking or you talking? Anyway I have a picture of me and I also like this “ picture “ of a samurai and if you knew other than being some snarky internet liberal crusader you’d know what a Ronin is and the story of the 47 but since you’re apparently narrow minded I should lower my expectations or at least dumb it down for you.
Anyway trump tweeted something so you’ve work to do! Bye Felicia ??????
@48thRonin ahh, found it. Overweight and losing hair. There's a surprise.
@MrBeelzeebubbles sorry that I’m not your type
