    He is riding a wave of euphoria, and still unable to conceal his petulant "poor me" act when someone disagrees with him. If he doesn't grow a thicker skin it'll be a fun year or two before his own party impeaches him.

    shootER is typically pretty quiet when it comes to politics. It's a carry over from work.

    Plus, I've never been a board drama queen like many here.

    Chup, you use a lot of words I recognize, and your punctuation is in the right places, but I picture you like the first young lady in this video (albeit more erudite/pompous packaging).



    [It is so very, very hard to walk the high road with the internet and hi-lights reels of Chris 'Thrillupleg' Matthews just a click away; America's libs that will make up the next gen along with journalist are equally embarrassing to themselves, and, sociologically speaking of course, it's important to see the breakdowns.]

    Well yeah, but if that's the only metric you're using, then you're missing the point of the meme. Also, fuck the Ewoks.

    AWESOME! I was hoping for a montage of MELTDOWN 2016. The only way to improve it would be to add the music from Platoon when Elias is getting shot by the enemy and the helicopter is flying away. Check it out about about 1:55 into the clip.

    Idiot. @Chris is a different person, one we all interacted with before you set foot here. That's why he went with @Christopher .

    THAT particular victim status is an illusion created in the Pharisee echo chamber. Those folks are actually the second post privileged demographic in the country, behind the wealthy.

    Nope!

    You SHOULD be wise and thoughtful enough to realize that it's not a good idea to vote for a madman just to spite the "liberals" that you, inexplicably, feel "bullied" by.

    In other words, think for yourself and recognize danger when you see it rather than letting your actions be driven by your distaste for mean old liberals. Voting for Trump is kinda like you seeing a hippie standing by the road with a sing that says "turn back, danger!" and you say to yourself "fuck a damn dirty hippie" and floor the case, even if that means driving off the cliff.

    The cliff is still there, even if it was a hippie that warned you about it.

    think is, more white people are poor dependents than minorities (not a a percentage but still, a LOT of people)

    I read a statistical discussion of the (apparently highly unreliable) exit polls which did indicate that the only economic segment in which Hillary's vote was significantly less than Obama's was the under #50k annual income group. But one must be careful to avoid the "correlation is not causation" thing because it kinda looks like Trump breaks all the models.

    For example, I've seen interviews with people who basically said "I KNOW Trump is a fuck up and I sincerely hope he doesn't do most of what he promised to do, I just wanted to say a big fuck you to Washington" (which of course, Trump promptly stacks his transition team with Washington insiders but I digress)

    Likewise, I've got more friends than I care to admit that are so deep into the echo chamber that they simply operate on their own set of facts. I had to debate one a couple of weeks ago about whether or not the Clinton team actually literally practices Satanic Rituals. Because, you know, she just can't vote for a Satanist.

    Ari Flescher came out and said in a CNN interview that, basically, facts don't matter - it's only what connected with the voters that matter. So you can basically tell them ANYTHING. Trump tweeted this morning that the NYT was lying - he never said more nations should have nukes.

    He's on video in 2 or 3 different interviews saying EXACTLY that, but he has such contempt for his supporters that he knows he can lie right in their face and they will believe him, and cheer him for "telling it like it is" and boom - we have a whole new set of "facts" that do not align with reality. You can't change the minds or the worldview of people who "think" like that.

    Like you, I was surprised to learn how many of them there are (albeit, to be fair, not all Trump voters are that deluded - the rest of them just, apparently, don't mind electing the guy who operates on that basis)

    We just run over the hippie, kind of like we did when we made all the liberals cry salty tears over Hillary.

    I don't see any intelligent point in finding random people on the internet to mock. Some people are goofy, on either side of any issue. No news there. I'm a lot more interested in the flood of stories about arrogant Trump supporters bullying and mocking anyone who's not (precieved to be) straight and white.

    I think it's maybe more telling that some Trumper is painting swastikas on an Jewish elementary or some sub-teacher is telling little Hispanic kids they are going to foster care when their parents get deported or that Muslim women are being told in Walmart that they should go hang themselves with their hajib...than it is that some liberal took to youtube for a crying jag.

    But that's just me :shrug:

    so far, Nate Silver and his crew are suggesting it might be 1.5-2% when all the votes are counted.

    In any case, bet you sweet ass the Trump crowd would be coming un-fucking-glued if it were the other way round, including Trump himself, about how everything was rigged.

    :lol: Yeah right! Just like Trump supporters would shoot up the joint with their "gunz" if Trump lost. Wasn't that one of the (many) fears the left brought up? :drama: Pot meet kettle when it comes to supporters coming unglued.

    that's pretty much what some of them (Trump fans) openly implied they would do.
