I get people's right to protest but Trump won. What's the point of the protest, it's not going to change a lick... Maybe just maybe these people should have went out and voted so this didn't happen?

Exactly. You celebrate democracy for what it is and sometimes your guy/girl loses. Protesting, especially violently is dumb at this point IMO

Pretty sure thats not the real reason he was robbed, but glad those idiots are dumb enough to tape themselves.

How can you say it wasnt because of Trump when theyre yelling he voted for Trump during the entire thing? Seeing a lot of you guys up in arms about alleged mean tweets or signs and then having nothing to say about stuff like this is another reason Trump won.

I think you still don't get what happened. He didn't conman tens of millions of Americans, he was the outsider who was different and different outweighed general views of policies. Yes, he made lots of promises (sometimes even contradicting promises) but he talked and talked about change, he talked and talked about bringing jobs back to the rust belt. He talked about stronger immigration...yes in many cases he talked about more extreme stances, but the biggest thing was, he was not a politician and that was what got him elected.

 

I have a lot of the frustrations that the American people have that led them to vote for Trump, the problem was I couldn't turn out those frustrations in a candidate like Trump (I wish there was a better outsider option). But the reality is what the reality is and we now are in this world. We need to see what he does and if he does bad things, then everyone needs to realize maybe we need to do more as a country to make this a better place, to move things, forward, etc. More importantly, people need to work together and that includes our politicians who over the past 12 years have done very little when it comes to economic stimulating policy. They've essentially left it in the fed to give you pain killers while doing nothing to actually solve the problem (90+% of economists would agree with that take). I'm not putting blame on one side or the other, just saying no one wants to work with each other and they will all claim it is the other parties fault.

 

I've seen this a lot and maybe I missed something.

 

But, what exactly did Trump do or say to make these rust belt types believe their lives will improve with him as president?

We're going to bring back jobs. We're going to have so many jobs. We're going to have the best jobs.

He also pointed out that various factories and warehouses in those towns have gone to other countries, leaving the towns empty, and said he's going to prevent that from happening again. It's still a theoretical promise, but it was tied to something s***ty/unfortunate that those voters experienced.

Pretty much the same thing he promised Gary, IN when they gave him the riverboat there.

How many houses does he have?

Probably more than half actually. This is going to get really ugly.

Nevermind. I heard.

Because those same robberies have been going on just like this every week of the year.

There have been robberies in the middle of the day that are recorded with the attackers yelling "he voted for Trump?" Guess Im out of touch.

The guy you laud as the best president ever said Hillary Clinton was "everything that's wrong with politics" in 2008 and spent the last two months unsuccessfully campaigning for her two days a week. This isn't a dig at President Obama, that's par for the course in DC. They all do it. Let's not give s*** to one side of the aisle for doing it as if the other doesn't.

You mis-read my post. I was saying it as a positive.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 08:13 AM)
ive gotten the feeling in the past that Trump is ok with gay marriage so I would kind of be shocked if that was over turned.

It has entirely to do with his Supreme Court picks, not Trump's personal ideals.

Nope. Its usually something else. Its an excuse to rob that guy.
