for those of you who don't know and only payed attention to altered headlines from such quality journalism outlets like the new york post and breitbart: Hillary Clinton called ~1/2 of Trump Supporters (Or 1/4 of Americans, if it pleases you) deplorable. She was right. Multiple studies and polls have shown that at least half of Trump supporters are racist, bigoted, noun, noun, noun, and/or noun. You only ever hear: "*GASP* THAT WAS UNPOLITICALLY INCORRECT. SHE CALLED HALF OF AMERICA DEPLORABLE!"

The same proportion described African Americans as more "criminal" than whites, while 40 percent described them as more "lazy" than whites.

Nearly one-third of Clinton supporters described blacks as more "violent" and "criminal" than whites, and one-quarter described them as more "lazy" than whites.[/quote] I don't remember Clinton throwing a third of her supporters in the basket of deplorables. Her talking like half of Trump's supporters were closet KKK members was political grandstanding that backfired, not an academic assessment of racial relations in this country.
Jesus fuck, people. Trump didn't win because some crybabies in their safe space got mad that Hillary wasn't politically correct and (pretty accurately) called a section of them deplorable. He had less of a turnout than Romney in 2012, and Romney lost. The only reasons Trump won was because he managed to win specific states that the DNC neglected due to arrogance and overconfidence. That's literally it. If you were planning to vote Hillary, and decided to vote for Trump because some journalist from Gawker said you were a Nazi, you're probably the most braindead retarded voter on the entire planet. That accounts for like 4 people. If you're one of them, you should feel bad for being an idiot. If you base your voting preferences on which side's supporters were mean to you and which side were nice to you, you're an ignorant voter, end of. Oh no, I'm being an elitist liberal cuck, right? Nobody cares about your precious baby conservative feels being hurt. It didn't influence the election in any appreciable way. If it actually did, guess what, the people insulting you were right all along because that's actually fucking retarded.
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;51596993]people getting called cuck, liberal, sjw for years before didn't make hillary win because that narrative is bulllshit[/QUOTE] it didn't make anyone vote for trump, and vice versa. i wouldn't really say it's the reason he won, but it certainly didn't help hillary.
[QUOTE=GordonZombie;51597166]Is this actually legal, though? Can see this causing a slew of problems here.[/QUOTE] Political affiliation is not a protected class, unfortunately. This should be illegal, but it isn't.

Her talking like half of Trump's supporters were closet KKK members was political grandstanding that backfired, not an academic assessment of racial relations in this country.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's the problem, there were quite a number of racist Clinton supporters too, but it appeared less obvious because Clinton's rhetoric wasn't racial from what I've seen. Racism is still a significant problem in the states. Still, it was a lot higher of a percentage for Trump supporters, take that as you will.

That second part? Who cares, she called them basement dwelling worthless nerds.

Nearly one-third of Clinton supporters described blacks as more "violent" and "criminal" than whites, and one-quarter described them as more "lazy" than whites.... The Reuters/Ipsos poll asked people to grade whites and blacks on a series of personal traits. The results were then analyzed to compare how each respondent rated whites with how they rated blacks. In nearly every case, Trump supporters were more likely to rate whites higher than blacks when their responses were compared with responses from Clinton supporters. For example, 32 percent of Trump supporters placed whites closer to the top level of "intelligence" than they did blacks, compared with 22 percent of Clinton supporters who did the same. About 40 percent of Trump supporters placed whites higher on the "hardworking" scale than blacks, while 25 percent of Clinton supporters did the same. And 44 percent of Trump supporters placed whites as more "well mannered" than blacks, compared with 30 percent of Clinton supporters.[/quote] Well it's an interesting poll, but hardly any kind of evidence that Trump supporters are adequately more racist and xenophobic than the population. If anything, it just shows that Clinton Supporters are not far at all with having the same percentages in multiple cases.

A unbiased poll of 1,000 people gives you a 95% confidence level that your poll is correct. 16,000 people would probably give you something ridiculously good like 99.9% chance that your poll is correct.

Reuters/Ipsos is generally reliable, so I definitely am curious as to how they sampled for this. An "internet poll" as in one publicly available on the front page of CNN is very different from a privately-operated email poll. But both still suck.
