Welcome to America

[Leader of the Banned]

Sorry ahead of time for my long winded post. I got carried away. I won't be offended if you pass it up.

I can see why the left thinks that if you voted for Trump, you are a racist. That's what they are being told by "news" and opinion sources. There's a lot of that going on here.

I had a lot of apprehension voting for him. Remember that Trump was a New York Democrat and friends with the Clintons? I voted for him in spite of his celebrity persona.

The primaries were engourged with hopefuls and it came down to Trump. I don't believe initially that the elite right were feeling warm and fuzzy about him. I can't figure out for the life of me how he got evangelical support so early on and held on to it. In the end, even the reluctant right saw what was going on and shifted to embrace the candidate that had the best chance to win.

Here's my " crazy conspiracy theory", in part.

I think Trump got elected because he was perceived as a Washington outsider (relatively speaking). He wasn't polished. He was able to connect to the everyday man/woman for the same reason Sanders captured so much attention. The right aknowledged this and fell in line.

For some reason, the elite left held on and was lock step with Clinton in spite of how the everyday man/woman on the left (generally speaking) was feeling the Bern.

People are burned out on Washington. It just recycles the same career politicians. The state level is breeding a bunch of Washington insider wannabe's. They are to busy working on their next career step instead of what's in their constituents best interest.

The system is broke. The insider leaders of the parties are in control and making a lot of mistakes. They control the narrative. Not you or I. That dynamic is backwords and corrupt.

It would have been a different outcome if it was a Cruz/Clinton race. I think this is the scenerio that the insiders wanted. Win or lose they were still in the game.

I think I can see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears that Trump is a bigot. Orangie Bunker I call him. All you have to do is watch a video of him speaking. I'm not talking about sound bites, I'm talking full on speeches. Then of course you have his tweets. If you don't think he's racist, fine, but don't blame the media for distorting his message. So if you support him are you a bigot? I would say you are certainly tolerant of extreme bigotry if nothing else. I would find supporting him to be unconscionable, but for so many other reasons in addition to his bigotry. I've already mentioned some of those.

I find it laughable that Trump supporters fell for that "drain the swamp"/ stop corruption" slogan. This is already the most corrupt administration ever. He is selling us down the river, capitulating to Russia and China to bolster his bank account, meanwhile his billionaire cabinet is making a mockery of our government. Do you really think completely decimating the reputation and morale of our entire intelligence community is going to strengthen our national security? Oh yeah, he is shaking things up, dismantling everything that made us the leader of the free world. Name one country we have a good, trusting alliance with, now. Shall I mention the marginalization of NATO and the United Nations? Nah, I think I'd rather get drunk.

Trumpanzees love to mention he was once a Democrat never admitting Liberals did not welcome his lies and racism. It was when he became a Republican that his particular brand of cruel bigotry found an eager audience. Conservatives embraced his hate and fear mongering so much they wanted him for their President.

Have you all have been tivo'ing Racheal Maddow? More substanance in her post oration facial expression than in her words. You know the "knowing" smirk .
It's awesome! There needs to be an emoji for that.

Not to be nit picking but I believe it's Duluth but you can check my facts.

You are worried about correcting someone while you are spouting gibberish. Literal gibberish. Or to you it would be “ gibbiberish”.

It wasn't an argument. Just pointing it out. You can learn from mistakes. It's okay. Am I suppose to be arguing? I didn't know.

You mentioned facts. You all appear to be making assumptions about me without facts.

The game isn't funn if someone is making up the rules as they go. Try to be consitent please otherwise people won't want to play.

I don't do twitter.

Chosen one? Are you implying that a deity or demigod has a Twitter account? That's just silly.

Gibbiberish

Actually, the "Space Force" is a component of the larger "Space Fence".. Dont believe me though. You (and others) can view this informational video of Lockheed Martin's "Space Fence". It's real and its already in progress.

The Air Force has been in space for a long long time Trump doesn't read so he doesn't even know what's going on. They probably aren't telling him and are pissed that he's talking about it.

Hey! Thanks for the great conversation! Very thought provoking. I appreciate a healthy debate. Can't thank you enough for the invigorating back and forth. I'm sure others can take away a lot from this.

Thank you all for letting me chime in on the post. I know it's typically an exchange of concuring thoughts and posts between a very few, so I hope to come back soon!
