OT: American Politics

Mindz is giving you facts, you're giving him what you 'think' and what you've 'heard'. Only in your brain is this equivalent.
Lol. Facts. What "fact"? Median income?

I'm having a discussion with Mindz. Something you're obviously incapable of.
 
Do you guys know why this thread is called American politics and not simply politics? Because you're in ****ing Canada. Still slays me that you guys think you know so much about the American electorate. The sheer arrogance.

You are indeed having a ''discussion'' with Mindz..and he's working hard to get down to the level of someone with an IQ of probably 65. I feel for him. Despite that, you're still not understanding.

Not understanding? Or not accepting?

Being called mildly ridiculous (65 IQ) by someone far less prepared for life is amusing. If people don't accept what you believe, they MUST be stupid or at the very least not understand.

You really are amusing which is rare for a Bosnian.

I'm sure you've accomplished lot...like Trump. Totally self-made as well.
 
Nice. I see what you did there. You guys have asked for a prediction many times well here it is... your lives won't change much if at all.
 
your lives won't change much if at all.

I hope that will turn out to be true. Initial steps by Trump made it seem he was largely acting during the election, but his recent nominations are not good at all. Pence, Lynn, Sessions..these are not good people.
 
Pence was selected long ago and I do agree that they're fringe selections. This is how I see it which may be different from how you see it...

Pence was selected to appease the GOP establishment. He is the bridge to Ryan, McConnell etc.

Flynn was selected because he was loyal yes but also because he loathes Muslims. This is well known among the right base that are afraid of the terrorist bogeyman. It sent the signal that Trump is serious about irradicating ISIS. I'm hoping for Petraeus as secretary of defense to counteract Flynn, he's far more stable.

Bannon is a RW wacko appeasement and he's the sith Lord like Cheney was. Scary individual.

Priebus should be fine. Here's not insane. Another appointment to bring the GOP together.

Giuliani will get something but I sure hope not secretary of state.

Sessions is the head scratcher. He'll have a lot of unfeathered power as AG and I think you'll see cases brought forth that are questionable. The confirmation hearings will be interesting.

I could pull up the exit polling concerning Mexicans, Muslims, and jobs as well if you want me to. They were far and away the 3 most stated reasons for supporting Trump

The average trump voter made 72k and was worried about those 3 things but not very knowledgeable about any of them. Those are the facts

That part surprises me.
 
People are told what they should worry about, on both wings. The Democrat dog whistle is racism. Everything is racism. Racist! So what do they think? Everyone does things out of racism. Trump did the same thing. It's the oldest trick in the political book, point to someone and blame them for your lot in life because it couldn't possibly be your own damn fault.

On another note, you could point to all the exit polls you like. None of them asked the question "do you want to see Washington burn ?"

So you'd rather be the only one to post on this thread?
 
I wonder if there will be a concerted effort by the Dems to relocate their people to currently red states.

I did read something about most of the refugee settlements are in red states, which will eventually lead to more Democratic voters, but that's probably a long term plan.

If you don't like flyover states having too much say...get out there and change the demographics. But then again, maybe doing real work instead of working at places like Google would change them into Republicans.

Being the one that is paying for all of the "entitlements" can change your perspective in a hurry.

What's that quote... If you're not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative at 35, you have no brain.

Something like that.

Yes, but nihilism isn't the answer. And it's basically a tantrum from people who haven't been actively engaged in their democracy for decades now. I've been ignoring the process for years and now I don't like what it's turned into...waaaaaah....burn it!!!

Like ****ing children.

Real work that is done by robots instead of the..what...fake work of creating and maintaining the economy of the future? Brilliant.

It can, if you're a greedy ****.

What is it with you people and quotes that are beaten within an inch of their lives? That little nugget is based off of an old french quote which actually was defending the French Monarch during the revolution. It's been misappropriated by people who can't think beyond the ideological team they belong to, for about 60-70 years now (basically ever since it was misattributed to Churchill). If you spent as much time being clever, as you spent trying to sound clever, you'd probably see things a bit differently than you do.

Well, misattributed to Churchill...who is the clever one now? It's you man!

I guess I was wrong about google. It seems to have served you pretty well just there.
