    If White support didn't elect Trump, whose support did? Blacks? Hispanics? Women? Homosexuals?

    (Actually, Trump got a majority of White women to vote for him.)

    Apparently.

    I think our friend Will is disturbed by the idea that Whites might form a voting bloc, like Blacks and Hispanics. They are supposed to suppress their interests to redress historic injustices or something like that.

    Actually:

    Mitt Romney won a greater percentage of the white vote than Donald Trump. Mitt took 59 percent while Trump won 58 percent.

    Trump improved the GOP’s position with black and Hispanic voters. Obama won 93 percent of the black vote. Hillary won 88 percent. Obama won 71 percent of the Latino vote. Hillary won 65 percent.

    Democrats have lost almost 10 million voters since 2008 as Democrats doubled-down on their own identity politics. Black Lives Matter went from a fringe movement to the Democratic mainstream in the blink of an eye. White voters responded mainly by voting in the same or lesser numbers as the last three presidential elections. That’s not a “whitelash,” it’s consistency.

    Maybe he has sympathy for a very misunderstood portion of the population?

    By the way, I read somewhere Duke had ''dropped out" of the KKK...although I also heard somewhere else that, once you join, you can't drop out...sort of like the Mafia.

    The media, press, Clinton and the Democrat talking heads succeeded in convincing white people to see themselves as a unity in the same sense as minorities - particularly with so many Democrats cheering the demise of whites as the majority.

    After years of openly cursing and hating white people, as their incomes and lives were slammed in real terms, millions of white people finally voted with an angry "F... U... 2!!!" back at the Democrats. Openly hate on someone long enough - and don't be surprised when they come to hate you too. The incessant pitch of Democrats that white people should hate themselves in white-guilt constantly spit into their faces finally cracked.

    But you only quoted me pointing out your efforts to polarize with racism.

    And what about unifying to prevent racial polarization AND enforce the constitution.

    Do you support that?


    As a Citizen of a state of the united states for America, do you understand, agree and accept then DECLARE it is constitutional intent that the framers of the founding documents intended for us to alter or abolish government destructive to the ideal of our unalienable rights?

    As a Citizen of a state of the united states for America, do you understand, agree, accept then DECLARE it is constitutional intent that the ultimate purpose of free speech be to enable the unity adequate to effectively alter or abolish government destructive to the ideal of our unalienable rights?


    How do you answer?

    I think you leftists really need to take notice of this.

    Us white guys are now voting in our best interests.

    Don't like it? We don't care.

    So the next time your guys decide to call us white guys, just realize that's just like saying we have noses on our faces. The next time some moron feminist decides to get angry because she was triggered...

    We don't care.

    That's going to take all the wind out of your sails, I know. Your various cards you use to make us feel less than human no longer work.

    If you are capable of comprehending what this means, then great!!!! If not, well then... you don't matter.

    Angry white males are angry?

    Yes, they are!

    They are angry because they are being screwed over by corporate America and the promise that if you work hard you will have a nice comfortable life with a pension to retire on.

    And yes, I fall into that category myself but I am not angry about it because that is just a feelgood means of venting frustration and doesn't actually address the core problem.

    Those same corporations that are screwing over angry white men don't discriminate when it comes to who they screw over. Women, minorities, whomever are all screwed over by corporations because corporations are beholden to the Wall Street Casino Bosses. Corporations are held hostage by the Wall Street Casino Bosses who will punish their share prices if they don't constantly deliver larger and larger profits. So where do corporations find these larger ransom payments AKA increased profits? They steal the money out of the pockets of their workers in the form of pay raises, pensions, healthcare benefits, etc. etc.

    Now the question is how have corporations and the Wall Street Casino Bosses gotten away with this theft of the American dream for so many decades?

    They bought off Congress, emasculated unions, bought up propaganda sources like the WSJ, Forbes, Money, etc and hoodwinked angry white males into believing that corporations and corporate profits were the holy grail and that their jobs were what made America "great". Which was ironic given that they were outsourcing those jobs and laying off those angry white males by the millions.

    But the angry white males swallowed that BS because they were told that their jobs were being threatened by poor immigrants instead. The angry white males were duped into believing that everything that was wrong with their lives was all because someone who was just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families by mowing lawns and cleaning toilets was responsible for screwing them out of their jobs, healthcare, pensions, etc, etc.

    And all this time the angry white males believed that everything would be just fine if they could only build a wall on the border and stop these poor immigrants from coming in and stealing their jobs.

    Except that is not going to happen. Trump won't build a wall because it would be a violation of the Law of the Land and he doesn't have the authority to overturn the Law of the Land. Even if he did build that wall it would do absolutely squat as far as doing anything to improve the lives of the angry white males.

    Building that wall is just another bogus feelgood distraction that won't improve the plight of angry white males one iota.

    In 4 years time they won't be any better off and they won't be any less angry than they are now.

    Once again, a Leftist knows more about what motivates voters, than the voters themselves know.

    You Trump supporters, you just are not intelligent enough, nor educated enough to know what is good for you, and that is why you need more government Leftest genius news network commentators to tell you who you are and why you voted the way you did.

    Notice how the Democratic news agency's are against America's vote. Disgusting, this is what they tried to claim the trumpeezers were going to pull when Clinton defeated Trump, they were so sure weren't they? Well, didn't work out so well! And look who is going to start the fighting back up again ? You got it, Democrats, the party of violence if they don't get their way. Losers.

    You better believe it's a whitelash, that racism indeed lurks in the mentality of a great many Trumpites. This is why it's actually perfectly legitimate to describe them as deplorable.

    As a black independent I hate threads like this. These threads that try so simplify everything down to a narritive that makes people feel good about themselves .

    Is it true that a lot of racist whites casted a vote for Trump against multi culturalism? Yep.

    However, the people who really won Trump those swing states weren't bigots. I think Jordan from TYT politics, really showed the true reality when he went to Michigan and interiewed pepole a month ago. These were the people who had their factories shipped out, and are struggling to provide for their familes. These were voters who voted for Obama in 2008, because he told them that he'd be there for them. However, 8 years later and they're still struggling.

    So when Trump went into these communities and delivered a populist message, people rallied around him. All these people want is for someone to stick up for them.

    So when people say "white lash" I think its just marginalizing the groups struggling in those industrial states.

    Unfortunatly, I doubt Trump will live up to that promise.

    Very well said.

    So, the angry white males put someone in office whose economic policies double down on what put them in their miserable position to begin with.

    But, a few tax cuts for the rich and giving corporations further freedom to do at will (called deregulation) will fix it for them, so they don't have to be angry anymore. Because now they have billionaire in office who is supposedly on the side of the little guy. Give me a break..

    I agree with you. The problem with saying Trump's election is white lash is that it is a fundamental misanalysis of what happened and says more about the person making the accusation.

    It's not a matter what makes me feel better, it's what the exit polls show. Trump is EASILY beatable, and the Dems should feel ashamed by nominating a candidate that lost to that idiot. Hopefully they learn their lesson by 2020.

    Well hell, the GOP has been manipulating their low information base for years. Trump is no different.

    It is always amusing to see welfare using right wingers in right wing utopia's like Kentucky sucking up all of the food stamps while continuing to vote for GOP politicians every election cycle.

    Like I've said many times, the next four years will be sweet. To see the right wingers defend their orange messiah who's policies mirror the last idiot they put in office will be hilarious. We as a country will be screwed, but what can you do?

    Who said white support didn't elect Trump? What I'm saying is if Clinton did slightly better with minority and young voters, she could have offset Trump's support with whites. Trump did no better with whites than Romney, and Romney lost. Why? Because of Obama's support from minorities and young voters. Clinton failed to capitalize on those voters the way Obama did.

    Awww, you're so oppressed because your feelings all got hurt. Maybe you're actually starting to get only a taste of what black people, and minorities, have had to put up with in this country now. Maybe you're just upset because there's other people living in this country aside from dumbass white people like Trump, and quite a few posters here.

    Do yourself a favor and go do a comparison between your presumed "oppression" and actual oppression that other people have faced in this country. Then when you're done maybe I'll entertain the thought of giving even a slight fck about your problems.
