Man beaten up in the street for voting Trump - General

Edit: For the record, I'm saying that voting for Trump was a stupid decision. I'm not saying you should be lynched or anything like that.

[QUOTE=JCDentonUNATCO;51346896]Because your average Trump supporter has been the classic redneck with an F150 who casually talks about how he hates niggers at the dinner table.[/QUOTE] Good job informing us that you've probably never actually met a Trump supporter and would rather stereotype them from the safety of your closed bubble.

I wan't to say some mean things but im going to refrain because I think everyone knows here the words used wouldn't be to popular :speechless:

[QUOTE=Marbalo;51347279]"orange melting wax figure" "reality tv star" "orange clown" Continue rejecting the problematic reality underlying your society. Resort to namecalling and the "well if X then you fully deserve to be called a dumbass" rhetoric. Proceed with entrenching yourself deeper into the same trench you've been digging for the past decade. Just dont be surprised when Trump is elected for his second term, and in the mean time, enjoy a country more divided and volatile than ever before. [editline]10th November 2016[/editline] Many intellectuals and other outsiders were trying to hammer in the point that there is more to this election than just Trump being a bigoted idiot. But people just don't care, and don't want to take a deeper look into how this man has been steadily climbing the power ladder until eventually gaining a seat in [i]literally the most powerful position in the world.[/i][/QUOTE] so did you only read a third of my post before you decided to start spitting words?

Like it or not though the white middle lower class IS the American voting demographic and trying to build an election campaign that relied on bullying grown men and women into voting for your candidate just doesn't work. Trumps awful

[QUOTE=Marbalo;51347370]Nope. I read the whole thing. A big reason why Trump was elected, actually was, because "They called me dumb so i voted for the orange melting wax figure! :downs:". Of course this is a massive simplification of that exact reason, but it is true in its essence. And rejecting that is only showing how willing you are to understand and work together, with almost a third of your country. It summarizes a broader issue in American society that the left has been aggressively pushing their ideals unto ordinary citizens who by the looks of things, were simply fed up and decided to vote out of spite instead of out of support for their candidate.[/QUOTE] You're so wrong it hurts.

"they called me stupid so i decided to prove it"

For the rest who actually voted for him this was them executing their right as citizens and they had beliefs for doing so. To say them voting for trump is stupid is to say their beliefs are stupid. This is exactly how trump won. The media and people can only shit on a certain people for so long before they actually bite back. Now I know trump did the same, but the media was primarily supportive of the democratic party and Hillary. People took notice of that and because of the shit-flinging a lot of people ignored trump and justified what he said. This is what happened, people got sick of it and trump ended up winning even when every fucking poll saying Clinton was going to win. Even now people continue to treat trump voters like shit, social media is absolutely shameful, the media is going to be the attack against trump and it is only going to create more violence. It's fucking shameful. Instead of working with everyone they would rather create a greater divide. People can blame trump all you want, but the democratic party is to blame for this. As much as the democratic party is in line with my views i can't ignore they caused a lot of this. People chanting for the failure of trump is like chanting for a plane that we're all flying in to crash and burn.

[QUOTE]The American left does have a holier than thou mentality but the right isn't even remotely humble. There's as many people using socialist as an insult as there are people calling others racist.[/QUOTE] Horrible people are the cause of our troubles and it seems they transcend ideology.

If you check out Twitter you can see a lot of people are openly bashing insulting white women because their demographic voted primarly for Trump. Maybe if they keep screaming and insulting the white women they'll vote for their party next time. That'll clearly work Insulting and belittling people for believing different than you is what caused this all to happen

What all this shows is that Americans as a whole have some serious growing up to do. The country is one giant circus, to the eyes of the world.

What the fucking FUCK is wrong with the women calling other women cunts for having a different opinion than theirs? It'll never stop. [editline]10th November 2016[/editline] But wait - there's more!

No what caused this to happen was economic policy and economic policy alone. I'm telling you that's what happened: half of college whites, most whites without university/college areas, and richer latinos/asians/blacks voted for the person that suited their economic interests. This was never about rhetoric, about the "SJWs" or about the insults. It was never about LGBT rights or religion. It was never about any other policy... It was down to [I]economics[/I] and partly also because both the DNC and GOP were arrogant and idiots (DNC being biased towards Clinton, GOP not deciding to come together to oppose Trump). EDIT: if anything, what the Democrats need to do is convince Americans their economic policies work.

I feel like this could've been avoided long ago but those 3 entities are what, I believe, has caused this great divide in America. Call me optimistic but despite how awful people are making a Trump presidency seem, I can't help but have this itch that this disaster may very well be used as a way to bring America together again, but for that to happen it would require both Democrats and Republicans "come together" and turn this disaster upside down and "start anew" for the next election. Whether that'll actually happen though, only time will tell.

Im certain he will bring us together in the worst way and be the spark to get change done in the worst way.

[QUOTE=Jouska;51346921]This is EXACTLY why hillary lost instead of winning in a landslide like she should have. This mentality right here is what harming our country and unity. You have became just as bad as the neo-nazis at /pol/ calling everything and everybody they disagree with as degenerative or cucks. Ad hominems were the dismise of the clinton campaign.[/QUOTE] The thing is, Trump is legitimately terrible though. I think a lot of people who are against Trump can't even comprehend how someone could support Trump without being a terrible person themselves, because to them it's so glaringly obvious how bad he is. And that's why they're lashing out, because it suddenly seems like half of Americans are terrible people.

There are going to be people who are so far gone, but the rest of us don't have to follow that path. If the majority of citizens work together regardless of their beliefs towards bettering the county and fighting injustices and DOING what is BEST for EVERYONE the people so far gone will not seem as vocal. It is sad when polls come out that show BOTH sides are afraid of each other. [QUOTE=elowin;51347703]The thing is, Trump is legitimately terrible though.

Polls couldn't even predict the amount of voter turn out let alone how many was gonna originally vote for Trump. It isn't that half of Americans are terrible people, its just that there are so many people exhausted and tired of the current system, they feel hopeless and under attack that they voted for the first person that seemed to understand that.

It was really sad seeing so many people stoop to Trump's level of bullying and name calling. All you have to with those "trump supporters are all just nigger haters" type of post is change a few keywords and you can turn it into the same post against clinton and leftists. Thats because those kind of posts are the same kind of anti-intellectual brickering you would [B]used[/B] to see only from the extreme right. "Clinton is going to start a nuclear war" "Trump is going to start a nuclear war" "Clinton is a femnazi anti-gun nut!" "Trump is a racist gun nut" But the some people here still won't accept that their aggressiveness at the large may have helped Trump get elected so now they are just going to put fingers in their ears and continue saying that the majority of america are just racist people trying to lynch gays or whatever. Also didnt help that the media kept implying that Trump supporters were going to all cause a civil war if Trump lost. I'm not saying it caused Trump to win but it defineitly helped him get elected with every non-clinton supporter being targeted by the media this way.

To many people on the left, it really seems like everyone who voted Trump is either a racist who legitimately believes this shit, an idiot who doesn't see what Trump is really trying to do, or an idiot who does understand but still votes for him in protest despite disagreeing. And nobody wants to have a meaningful debate with idiots and racists.

I thought you guys were more sceptical about the shit you see on the internets. But for some reason today you decided to blindly believe what that video's title says and what that dumb woman in the video is yelling instead of looking at what's actually happening in the video. But I guess injecting political meaning to any violent action makes it look more exciting. It's actually sad to see these kind of events being used to aggravate the cleavage between the populations in the US by just applying political meaning to it. Only because it's assured to make more views in this context.

Yeaaah reading this thread just proves that this divide in America isn't healing any time soon people constantly blaming the other side for violence and name calling, even though both sides are guilty of it be a little self-aware for godssake

It's like, the election is over, Trump won, now he's your president no matter who you voted for and you can't really do anything to change that - beating up people who voted for him, taking part in violent riots and causing harm is helping literally nobody - so it's time for americans to put their differences aside and work together for a better america. I'm sad to see Trump win, and I don't think this is a turning point or anything, I think it'll just get worse, but let's focus on the future and try to do our best to make it better instead of beating eachother up over democratic outcomes.
