Why Trump Won

[Angelsjunky]

This pretty much nails it. I'm sure many of my liberal friends will deny or be offended by this.

 

[Blarg]

Well... that was real.

Even though it was staged.

[Angelsjunky]

It's a kind of satirical peformance art, Blarg - that's kind of his gig.

Revenge of the Forgotten Class

It's a pretty good read about the viewpoints of some people.

It didn't feel very satirical because everything was on point. Thanks for posting it.

All these points have been made multiple times in multiple threads over the past few days.

The poorest states tend to vote red.

They absolutely are.

More and more, I think Trump's victory is the fault of leftist policies that a vast majority of Americans despise. Not just Obamacare, but things like outlawing plastic grocery bags, transgender bathrooms and sports teams, opposition to police officers (remember that meeting Hillary had with Michael Brown's mother?), and the constant war on business. People had enough and took out their frustrations through their votes. Democrats should stop advocating the extreme positions and pay more attention to the middle.

That's because we're all smarter than most people.

 

 

And more attractive.

Imho, Trump won because he had more votes in States with more electoral college votes.

The BLM nonsense and extreme political correctness (which includes not calling out Islam) are killing the dems.  

But they thought we had reached a point of progressiveness where every sensitivity was catered to, every non-traditional behavior was embraced by most.  They were wrong and Trump is just as much about people being fed up with that nonsense as he is about giving false economic hope to morons.

How could you now expect backlash when you're forcing male sexual deviants into the women's restroom?

 

Are you saying transgender people are male sexual deviants, or that many people perceive them that way?

I went shopping at the grocery store today. No more plastic bags.  California liberals, in their infinite wisdom, decided I should no longer get to use plastic bags. Apparently plastic bags are bad, but not plastic bottles, toys, etc. And who gives a shit about the people who work at businesses that manufacture plastic bags. This might be the height of liberal stupidity. It is the kind of shit those of us in the middle despise.

At least I got the satisfaction of knowing the liberals who passed this shit are crushed at the thought of The Donald's presidency

I went to the Ralphs in Santa Monica last week and requested a plastic bag. Maybe I should keep it for a memento of time past.

My wife goes shopping with them..........without me.

They instituted pay for bags a couple years ago in Santa Monica. 

[JAHV76]

I hope they charge .10 per bag for the marijuana they are now selling to everyone

[Jay]

Today at the Super King in SA they were bagging with single-use plastic.  At the Stater Bros nearby they no longer had single-use plastic bags.

[Tank]

we've had bags for purchase for a couple of years now in glendale. i just assumed it was that way all around the southland.

[ABC]

Of all the things to get pissed at you guys could do better than plastic bags. A move in the right direction that actually helps our planet and promotes mindfulness to not be wasteful.

the good news about trump winning.

that tool box martin shkreli (sp?) that jacked up the prices on aids medication and was villain #1 for a bit paid two million dollars for the only copy of the wu-tang clans latest album. they have a contract in place with regards to the music being distributed, but martin said that if trump wins he would leak some tunes and he has. not sure if there is a legal conflict, but h'e sharing with the masses only what he has.

Many loan officers still make 100K. Many make several hundred k. He can still make 100K as a loan officer if he did what takes. Money was rolling uphill in real estate back then and every boat was lifted by the unsustainable tide. I'm sure that at his current gig, he has co-workers making well over six figures doing what he does.

No man in California should make that little money.  If you are making only minimum wage, work two jobs. 65-70 hours a week at minimum wage will put you at $35,000. And if you have a half-functioning brain, you will quickly find yourself making more than minimum wage.
