Trump wins and RickB is back? Babs you used the wrong propaganda here. Had you said, if Trump wins Richard Balkins would return to the site even David Dooky would have voted Hillarious I mean Hillary.........as far as I am concerned this election proves one thing - how fucking brainwashed the educated are in this country, most of them - especially college educated journalists (dumbasses).......i like to add at my liqour store i had a black man let me and the owner know he voted for Trump and was proud and he vote was to fuck China and the foreigners taking out work, but thats not worth covering, lets cover pussy grabbing - maybe something journalists need to be doing or something.....hahaha...anyway I voted 3rd party. back to work. nothing will change.

Fuck. 

I'm feeling a lot of anger toward the Democratic party and the liberal personalities in the media and press that refused to see that Hillary is an unpopular candidate. 

Anyone who said that she wasn't likable or trustworthy was accused of sexism. 

She was the wrong candidate for this moment. She was, as I have said over and over again the most establishment candidate we could have selected at a time when the electorate is overwhelmingly anti-establishment. She was force fed to us by DNC operatives, activists, and media personalities. She was sold as pragmatic. And then she fucking lost.

The Clinton campaign created an easy win for trump by antagonizing white voters and minority opposition in a personal way.  This was not a "white lash" as some pundits said, it was a lash against 3 things.

1. Thought police that constantly tried to falsely label any opposition as racist, sexist, etc. It was a lash against the demonization of white people for political gains and the overall clumping of minority groups into monolithic political props.  Were there some racists and sexists that were emboldened by trumps message? Of course, but most were just sick of being told that a vote against Hillary was a racist or sexist act.  

2. Globalization and the outsourcing of jobs.  

3. Clintons personal character and the overall corruption of the corporate and collision of big business, media, and foreign nations of questionable moral character.  Wikileaks stung harder than most news outlets predicted.

I keep looking at the fucking map today and thinking back to the primary as Hillary kept winning southern states and using that to justify her candidacy. While Bernie was appealing to working class whites throughout the rust belt and midwest and winning in Michigan. NYC and DC based Liberal commenters and bloggers were trying to equate "white working class" with racist.

Most white people who voted trump did so out of a "stfu already" attitude towards liberal media.  CNN ruined it for Hillary.  When confirmation of collusion hit Wikileaks news that was the final nail.

Trump supporters are entitled to crow and gloat over their stunning victory.

However, going forward it's important to recognize that, as the vote count stands right now, Donald Trump received 388,000+ FEWER votes than did Hillary and the various minor party candidates. It would be a mistake to suggest that Trump has received a mandate, or that his brand of change is the sort of change embraced by a majority of Americans.

It will be interesting to see how long he can sustain his promise of last night to serve all Americans.

It is a sad because of a man who never has had to be a president.

I did not vote. It was my protest against the criminal and lunatic.

Again,

for extremely retarded people.

Illegal immigration is a criminal act. 

In the US no one is above the law. Thus, the illegals are not above the law.

That's why their countries are so back (including the country I was born) because no one obeys the rule of law.

We also don't talk about racism accurately. We could talk about bias and prejudice as something that we all deal with every minute of our lives when we interact with others. We could talk about how people have moments where their racial prejudice affects their actions or distorts their perception of reality. And those very same people can be tolerant most of the time, and succeed at weighing their assumptions with a healthy amount self-doubt. Instead, what we do is label people based on their weakest moments. If they were racist once, they're forever a racist. Unless, they repent and say that they're voting for Hillary. Thats another  bizarre aspect of this. Her surrogates were smearing white working class voters at the same time that they were working to appeal to middle and upper class Republican moderates.

Let's put things into perspective about the whole racial issue: The same people who voted for trump today are the very same ones who voted for obama 2 terms back. So it's stupid to suggest they turned redneck/xenophobic within a span of 8 years.

I was one of those who supported Bernie at first too, but my vote for trump is payback for the democrat party who fielded him to test waters for clinton.

Except for rape/incest cases and case that threatens the life of the mother."

How is it even okay to think that if a woman wants an abortion she should be put in jail for it?  You're fucking crazy.  I guess this is how America is going to become great again?

Sameoldoctor,  I didn't vote for trump or Clinton...Indeeply dislike trump, but nothing can be done at this point but hope he smartens up....When you call a whole race made up of ethnically/culturally/economically diverse people racist or sexist because they feel that Hillary Clinton is a liar and con you will create an emotional reaction like the one we saw last night from something that could have been kept a mental one.  Had they not done so, the reaction would be more about the issues where her logic and reason may have had more effect...but her campaign ran with the narrative of good vs evil...progress vs regress...racism vs acceptance....no one bought it.  At the same time the dems tried to incite rage from the minority groups that they were counting on to counter that backlash by jumping in the black lives matter bandwagon in an obviously fake way.  They didn't buy it either as the minority turnout was lower than expected.  It back fired. White people are mostly not racist. Sure there is a loud minority of alt right assholes, but the average white person circa 2016 is not "a racist".   At the same time, many are tired of being bullied into white shame and pc vocabulary by the media and neutered millennial culture of fadora wearing shit for brains.  Many people simply grew up in a culture that is different...more rude and rugged...The cosmopolitan culture that try's to act as a moral authority will never be accepted by the working class Americans.  While they may be accepting of different races and religions, they will never accept the false (or exaggerated) narrative that the dems are good and that they are all guilty oppressors because they think Beyoncé sucks or because they like talking titties with their bar buddies. The dems alienated the largest voting base in america while failing to appeal to their own.  Sanders could have beat trump.  He spoke to the working class like people not naughty school children with potty mouths. Clinton hijacked the election and possibly damaged the credibility of the dems for decades to come.

"Also, why did we decide to hitch social justice issues to the wagon of economic neoliberalism??" 

Because social justice in its modern formulation (e.g. not Father Coughlin's notion of social justice, which was an entirely different thing) is fringe nonsense with little popular support. The original Clinton/neoliberal strategy was to realign with economic issues that actually matter to enough people to win elections. That worked in 1992. It obviously doesn't work anymore.

No real conclusion can really be drawn from a single billboard. Any one person can fund a billboard like this. It doesn't take a community to create a billboard. Someone in my neighborhood spray painted the words "HILLARY STOLE NYC". What conclusion do you think can be drawn from that? 

Lets please cut with the bullshit. I feel that part of the reason we failed to elect a Democrat in this election was because we lied to ourselves about her strength as a candidate and about the reality of the electorate. I am so sick of the cute and convenient sentiments. I'm sick of the memes and gifs. And I am not ok with Democrats doubling down on their resentment of non-"#woke" voters. #ImWithHer fucked us!

Think most trump voters voted in spite of his racist statements, not because of them. Also think they are overblown, not sure how different his immigration plan is from Obama's at this point

shell, he's going to build a wall and make mexico pay for it.  probably not the same as obama's plan.  also, he said mexican immigrants are rapists.

as we've already noted though, we can't undo what we've done.  i don't understand how someone could have listened to what trump was saying and heard something other than some form of bigotry against a minority population.  let's just pretend it happened though, and instead of hearing the bigotry, people were just focused on creating more jobs by reducing automation in factories and allowing less environmental and labor regulation over coal mining industries. 

so we'll just say we were focused on the jobs the new wall will create, and look past the part where the pope himself said trump's immigration policy is not christian.  all i ask is, going forward, don't be a racist.  don't be a bigot.  don't discriminate against people based on race, religion, or gender.  while i have a lot of concern over the harmful effects of policy created by a republican majority in congress and the executive branch, my biggest concern, and the thing that sets this election apart from previous, is the rise of the alt-right and normalization of discriminatory behavior.

Again, the Michael Moore was 100% correct.  It was a big middle finger to the neo liberal elite.  They fucked this world over in so many ways...incinerated so many people...but fucktards like curt will overlook that so long as they are polite.  The pass you are willing to give these power hungry psychopaths is mindblowing.  The emphasis on words over actions...I in no way support trump, but many saw him as a fu to that festering swamp of corruption and elitism.  And the stupidity of the dems to buy that Hillary is a champion of minorities after so much evidence of her politically calculated mindfuck....the election came down to who is hated more.  That's all...and if you keep voting for the lesser of two evils and being so complacent that's what you end up with.

jla-x, fuck you. You had one small job to do, but were probably so busy drinking into your PBR to make up rationales for not voting for her. It is precisely because of the likes of you in swing states that we will have to witness the destruction of our democracy for the next 8 years.

"White people are mostly not racist. Sure there is a loud minority of alt right assholes, but the average white person circa 2016 is not "a racist"." 

Yeahright. take a look at this image of the red-hatted rednecks at Camp Trump and tell me if you see any other race.
