Yesterday was about bored people in an opulent society treating national politics as a joke that it’s rapidly becoming.
People simply want something fun to watch on their huge TVs. Nobody is victim, nobody is in distress. It’s all about sated, burpy boredom of the jaded and the spoiled.
Oh I think this is about the revenge of white people and the revenge of the religious right. This is about entertainment, true. And that’s partly what fueld Trump.
But it’s also about a desire to punish women, minorities, gay people, the non-religious. Just watch…..abortion rights will disappear; DOMA will somehow come back; all sort of egregious things will happen.
But a white rich man is back in charge of the free world. So these low lifes can rest easy again.

I sincerely get losing is tough, but something to consider. He won every racial group vs romney. White, black , and hispanic. He was more plus on hispanic an black vote vs 2012 than he was on the white vote. Facts are important. (the exit polls may change a little, but likely not enough to change this point) https://twitter.com/amyewalter/status/796229054672334849

He won more of the minority vote than Romney: true. But it is still largely white people that voted him in. If it was only minorities voting, Trump would have lost.

I have to take a small victory lap for being right on the polls being wrong, and certainly that it would be a blowout. That was always wishful thinking by some.
Trump now has the opportunity to be a change agent not seen since FDR and maybe reagan. WIll he, who knows, but every single person i have heard lavished praise on his very gracious, unifying speech last night. and now we wait to see how he delivers. Only real fear of liberals i think they have right is that supreme court is likey conservatie for another 20-30 years now, but the rest of the concerns very overblown

Oh Matt. You mean well. But please. Your immature and idiotic “analysis” is just not what any of us are in the mood for. Plus, if you think Trump is gracious and Obama isn’t, you need to really take a moment and face how very racist you are. Obama was a true change agent and you are too bigoted and, sadly stupid, to understand the world around you and what you voted in.

In shock i get it. so only thing i will correct is i did not say obama was not gracious. So you can kindly repeal your racist label…
he was not a change agent. history has proved that. super open in admiting that we will see if trump turns into one or not. he is by far the most outsider ever to be elected president, certainly a potential indicator of being a change agent.
But if you keep up the blanket racism claims (will give you a week or two to calm down, after that its unacceptable demogagory ) democrats will not win more than one presidential election before 2050

also both hillary’s and obama’s speeches were gracious today as well

No, the real problem is that the KGB installed their own puppet president of the US. Talking about who won the Cold War. But hey, if you are fine with that, it’s your right.

Although Trump did not win the popular vote, he is entitled to exactly as much respect for his person and the person elected to that office as he has shown toward the current holder’s office and person. No more, no less.

I suspect that Trump will, within the first few months of his presidency, lose his temper and order a nuclear attack on someone: Probably Iran, but there are other possibilities.
