"Is it that the Dems don't understand white, working-class America?" No, that's not it

Unless you’re part of the HRC sycophant club, totally blind to what a deceitful, lying, horrible scumbag she really is.

Oh for the love of Jesus Fucking Christ! CITE??

Something that isn’t written by Sean Hannity or Alex Jones.

Right. It’s impossible to be somewhere in between being a sycophant and thinking that she’s a “deceitful, lying, horrible scumbag”.

Everyone on Earth either worships her or thinks she’s one of the worst human beings in human history.

Could be, but you’re not exactly making much of a case for it.

And what QuickSilver and iiandyiiii said.

Corruption undermines everything though. I think you overly fixate on racism when the big picture is that you need a government that people trust first and foremost. Clinton’s corruption and stupid paranoia are why she’s not president. That’s what corruption costs a nation. You get Trump!

That’s kind of nonsensical, but perhaps you’re being sarcastic. Bigotry does all of this too, with a far greater influence in our history than corruption. It’s impossible for a substantially bigotry-based government to have the trust of a diverse population. After that I’ll worry about corruption.

I get that we can try to oppose both, and we should… Trump brings both to the table. My point is about the population as a whole, and I’m monumentally disappointed that such a big portion of my fellow Americans either don’t recognize bigotry or put such a low priority on opposing it.

Yeah, real institutional racism is as bad as corruption. But bigoted thoughts I’m not so sure are as destructive to a nation as corrupt acts.

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but one of these ignorant pig-fucker Trump voters attacked a local pizza place here in DC because fake news had reported it’s the hq for a Clinton/Podesta child slavery ring. Remind me again how we’re supposed to come together as a nation with these ignorant pieces of shit. Build that wall keep 'me south of the Potomac.

Thoughts? No. Actions? They can be much, much, worse, and hate crimes are on the rise.

The left is far more prone to political violence lately. Why aren’t you concerned about those pig fuckers as well?

Got some examples there, or is that just what you tell yourselves at the pig circle jerks?

If you wouldn’t say something as a black or hispanic person, don’t you question whether you ought to say it at all?

I think “entitled” is the word for your post. You might just as soon say “Me? I’m white”

Got any cites? I mean other than Breitbart, Weekly World News, or Alex Jones?

No.

I think you should reread what I wrote.

I am more concerned with law and official acts than uncharitable thoughts.

Point me to the progressive approved official media. I’m sure I can find some left wing riot and assault footage.

So go find some that aren’t pure bullshit. Do your own homework.

I have no idea what’s going to happen, but I do know that Trump, Pence, and Ryan are three different kinds of Republicans so it should get interesting. There will probably be some misunderstandings among them on who is working for whom.

Not sure what the Dems are going to do either, all I know is that for a short time this year I became one in order to vote for Clinton in the primary. I was just happy that there was a sane and competent person in the running. Obviously a lot of people disagreed, but Clinton did end up winning the state.

It’s a rural, Christian, white state. Not a real one like in the article in the OP, a real one has more cows or high school dropouts or some shit that makes it more authentic, and therefore more representative of people who aren’t Democrats…this is the vibe I got from this thread, and didn’t like it much. But this is a left-leaning board and the right just got done covering themselves in something that is far from glory, ::shrug:: I’m not here to rehabilitate them. It just so happens that a certain problematic group of voters did have some good points.

If you’ve been living under a rock with no CNN or MSNBC that’s not my problem. Pay your cable bill.

In other words, you have no cites. Figures.

Not that I really give a fuck, but saying it’s not the Democrats fault because rural whites are dumb and clannish is precisely the type of thinking the article is trying to explain away.
