From the article: There you go. Couldn't have said it better myself. Yep! There you go. And you all bought into it, because morons like Cher, Lady GAGA, the Kardashians, and Miley Cyrus told you that it was the "hip" thing to do. I have strong doubts that this will happen....but I guess I remain hopeful. After all....I had doubts that Trump would win....and...well....
By looking at those numbers, what is wrong with the liberals? This was their moment. Their chance to serve up a death blow to conservative America. The evangelicals knew what was at stake. How come this group didn't? You can't tell me if they were willing to go all out and vote for Barack Obama that they couldn't do the same for Clinton. You may not like her. But she is your chance to transform this nation for good and to deal a death blow conservativism. Weren't they aware that as many as four supreme court justices could be nominated in the 4 to 8 years? I mean I thought this group was smarter than them hicks from the country? They got their butts handed to them in this election and they deserve everything they get. They could have ended traditional America and they didn't. If they were as passionate at the voting booth as they were on the streets this evening, they wouldn't be worried about America as they know it now. Just a head scratcher.
They fell into the same trap that elite conservative teabaggers did when Obama was elected. Let me explain... Remember how fed up this country was with Bush and his administration, and the idiots who blindly supported him? That ushered in Barack Obama as the most popular president of our decade. Well, for the past 8 years, there have been elitist Liberals in the media bullying anyone who doesn't goose-step to their way of thinking, and their followers ate it up by the pound and threw it at their fellow unwashed masses. It enabled them, and taught them that rioting, looting, flipping cars over, burning the flag, and setting fire to dumpsters was an acceptable way of protest just because their feelings were hurt. So just like America got sick of the "rah rah rah" war drum of Bush and his followers by the time 2008 rolled around, so America has once again gotten sick of the bullying, cry-baby safe-space "triggered" PC crap that has controlled this country for the past 8 years. People got sick of it. So Liberals didn't learn from history. They didn't look back at past unpopular presidents/presidential candidates and learn from history about how and why they failed. And as the old saying goes, it has repeated itself once again. Bush's lack of popularity at the end of his administration had more to do with the wars, horrible economy, and ridiculous gas prices. But there was still a monumental amount of elitism that had ruled his administration, as well as his fan base. And now Liberals have suffered the same fate; albeit under different circumstances. And that is what happens when you throw elitism and bullying in the face of your opposition; instead of extending a hand in friendship and unity. But don't feel bad....it will happen again. It always happens; the scourge of elitism. Trump won't last forever, and this current Republican party still feels the sting of what Bush did to this country, and how badly they lost in 2008. I can only hope that they've learned from past mistakes. But the question is.....will Liberals, Leftists, and Democrats learn from this failure? That remains to be seen.
You can sacrifice your rights and vote against your own self interests if you want. Social issues are secondary in your eyes. Not ours. There's still lots of opression that people seem willing to ignore. Running the country for all of us means these issues shouldn't be secondary.
People ignored them for decades. People had jobs. They had shit to do. Doesn't make it right but at least it was understandable. The future in the course we've been on is everyone is equally miserable.
I didn't vote against my own self-interests. I voted the best choice, out of two shitty choices, of what I felt was best for AMERICA. Someone who's not a career politician, PC, anti-gun, and elitist. It's about time we had such a candidate. I'm sorry your candidate wasn't such a person.
My candidate got SHAFTED by the candidate I DIDN'T vote for. My candidate would've TROUNCED yours in the general.
I'm not so sure about that. Bernie's economic policies of taxing the shit out of everyone in sight was batshit crazy. Mind you, I have nothing against the guy. Quite the contrary, I admired his respectfulness and polite demeanor. But what might have worked out fine economically for his one state, would have been a disaster for the entire country.
How, exactly, is a Manhattan billionaire not an elitist? Trump convincing you people that he's "the every man" is the biggest con job ever, and you fell for it.
Really? I agree he can be a bombastic asshole. But there's no comparison, in my opinion, between the elitism of someone like Cher, Hillary, Miley Cyrus, or Lady Gaga, and that of Trump. Trump tells you he's an asshole, shrugs off your counter insult, and then tells you to deal with it. Lady Gaga will call you an asshole, and then get offended if anyone calls her one too. That's the difference. But you make an interesting argument to be sure.
Amy Schumer is example numer one. She makes hideous sex jokes and then got butthurt about some guy making one about her that he thought she would like. I'm sure I could find the story if I cared.
Actually, I just read a rambling, hate-filled letter of hers on Yahoo about her reaction to the election. You're right: she's number one. Despicable woman.
But I guess it boils down to how you define "elite" in this instance. Either way....not a fan of any flavor of it.
Not the same situation. Obama, The Elitists and Globlalists had this country as we knew it on the ropes. I come in here ever so often to see comments DEATH TO THE GOP. It's not like this doesn't cross minds of the liberal. So why didn't they put THAT America away? This was their moment. This was their chance. Their chance to remake this country exactly how they envision it. They didn't do it! I believe firmly with the younger generation, they had the numbers. I don't get why the liberal establishment wasn't on the same page. People who are rioting and protesting on the streets of Portland have no one to blame but themselves. So QUIT already! They may never get another chance ever again if Donald does what he says he is going to get a chance to do, to appoint 4 supreme court justices. They're toast.
