I'm glad Trump got elected.
Seeing the boastful hate and malice being spewed on these boards, it's nice to see the true colors flying in all it's racist, malignant glory for the whole world to see.
I think Obama really set you guys off, but while he was in office you kept your garbage and hate in check because you didn't know which way the country was headed and didn't want to say things the way you would naturally say them, didn't want to show people who you really are. If in fact the nation was moving in a better direction than the prejudice and racism of the past, you didn't want to be the target, out of touch and out of power.
Now that the White Supremacist enabler is in office, you all feel like it's "your" country again and all the nasty people who tried to move America in a direction of inclusion, not bigotry and hate, are gone.
I got a newsflash for you... People didn't vote Trump because they believe in White Supremacy, no matter how much leverage you think it gives that point of view. They voted Trump because years of Republican policies have left them broke and struggling and the Democrats have been thwarted again and again trying to right that ship.
But make no mistake, America is better than this, and America will be better than this in the years to come. This is just 3 steps forward (Obama) and 2 steps back (Trump) as the nation inevitably moves toward a more equal and perfect union where ALL are represented.
Eventually, in my lifetime, we will see a revolt once and for all against this ideology, simply based on demographics. My parents and all their friends voted Trump, guess what? They might not even be alive next election. So the Republican base is dying, dying fast.
Don't boast too much in victory. Your days are numbered and if you are under 60, you will live to see all that you are gloating over now get turned on its ear and thrown out for good. You cannot stop Progressive thinking. Historically the old guard with its old, outdated ideas always loses to future thinking. Unless Republicans manage to legislate themselves into power, they certainly are NOT winning the popular vote in this nation.
But good luck to you in your futures.
