SpaceCadetwhymeoReading through this thread seeing all the Trump supporters trying to say it had nothing to do with race when the only major demographic trump did well with was white people.
The fact that Clinton was the establishment candidate and racism can both play a role. It doesn't just have to be one thing.
So wait a minute, let me understand.
Trump did well with white people so that makes it a racist vote. (not sure of the exact % just yet)
Obama in 2012 had 93% of the black vote and in 2008 had 95% of the black vote. Racism had no impact on those?
it's only racism when its convenient for them
and the good ol fashioned meme of "black people can't be racist"

You can't have it both ways.
Yeah, I also remember when Obama ran on keeping all white Christians out of the country so that's totally a good argument. Crazy times my man!

Honestly I'm pretty happy myself.
After months and months, maybe even years of smug condescending liberals screaming like wild animals at anyone who has different opinions than them, labelling anyone who disagrees with them as bigots, racist, xenophobic, sexist, "fucking straight white male" etc, etc. After seeing how biased the (((media))) in general was against Trump, even to the point of having famous people come and tell you in a condescending way who to vote for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRp1CK_X_Yw
He still fucking did it. Good old democracy.
Now excuse me as I have to take some screencaps of some posts I looked up in twitter with the words "literally shaking"

No it's called trump ran on racist rhetoric while Obama did not so of course racism has an impact on the election you ignorant fuck.
johnfHe still fucking did it. Good old democracy.
He likely isn't even going to win the popular vote, so you have a real twisted idea of what democracy is. Although I guess I shouldn't expect anything more from someone who uses the fucking alt-right "jew parenthesis".

Well of course he isn't going to win the popular vote. How do you expect any republican candidate to win the popular vote nowadays when places like California exist?

If our culture as Americans (RED OR BLUE) is infinitely more motivated by fear and money than a sense of duty or service, we are ultimately all to blame for a lack of progress

I should know arguing with you idiots isn't going to get me anywhere.
Let's talk in four years about how great the trump presidency with a house and senate controlled by republicans went.

Calling trump racist every day since he started running probably really hurt Hillarys chances of winning.
1. All the racists voted for him
2. People don't really trust the media anymore so when he was called racist people when and did there own research. When they did this research and found hey this guy isn't actually racist it probably pissed them off that they'd been lied to and so even if they didn't like trump they went and voted for him because fuck the establishment.

9/10 I would vote for Trump. I'd rather see something happen than just 4 more years of the same stalemate. But the 1/10 of me made me vote for harambe and hennessey.

even though racism plays a part, it's a shame the black demographic don't realize that
the poor black majority have been voting Democrat for 50 years, yet they're no richer

As a Sanders to Hillary voter, I have to admit that the majority of people on my side did a fucking abysmal job of arguing the points of why to vote for the democratic party. It pained me every time I had to see liberals get shut down because they didn't know how to argue their points well and simply resorted to dried up talking points.
That and the strongest drive for liberals was probably keeping Trump out, whereas the Trump side was genuinely excited to have their guy running.

anyone who says donald trump having a mainly white voter base is racist is an idiot
trump had many advisors who were black, and many of his supporters at rallies, especially at the rnc, were black or mixed race
in contrast barack obama had a mainly black voter base during his election in 2008, and yet you won't attempt to classify that as racist because it conflicts with your misguided liberal ideology of "waaah i'm never wrong, my candidate is the best, yours sucks!" which bred the "all for one" mindset that has portioned the democratic party into factions
so any liberal who is crying because of the outcome of the election should take a good hard look at how much time they devoted to rallying around hillary as a person versus her platform and how much effort they spent demonizing trump instead of informing the voter base of what hillary's plans for office were

EmilioEstevezWow Hillary looked tired during her concession speech. I imagine she'll probably be wanting to retire somewhere abroad and just get away from it all soon.
She's not going to be prosecuted on Trump's orders
Trump's not going to entirely repeal Obamacare
The US won't be unilaterally undertaking huge air wars on his say so
And many other things that were tossed out casually and in absolute terms during his campaign will either be moderated or dropped entirely.
The President is not a dictator, Democrat minorities in various bodies are not without power and influence. He's already striking a conciliatory tone not because he's a great and benevolent man, but because politically he has to.
Welcome to the outsider storming the barricades and draining the swamp. Look familiar?

The sad thing is, the conservatives in this thread are so close to being right. They're right about the DNC's idiocy in misunderstanding the anti-establishment bent of this election. They're right about Hillary (whatever you think about her on a personal/political level) being a terrible candidate in a pragmatic sense, who was seemingly only given the job because it felt like "her turn". They're right about the nasty tone of the election coming down to a "corrupt criminal cunt" vs a "bullying bigoted buffoon", which led to a lot of Americans creating a false equivalency between the two and either not turning out to vote or snap voting for 1 of the 2 for pretty unsatisfactory reasons.
The only area where they are wrong is in painting Donald Trump as in any way the solution to any of their problems. Here we have a rich megalomaniac who has spent his entire life only caring that the system stay rigged in his favor (including through, among other things, donating to Clinton), who has misled the angry white working class into thinking he will fight for them, despite having no substantive policy ideas and a complete lack of understanding how the world works.
The American people want populism so much that they voted for the worst possible populist package. Hopefully next time around we can get a true progressive populist, one who can unite poor whites and poor people of color and help them realize how they're being fucked by the corporations of the world.
I'm a big fan of the writing my man Robert Reich has been doing on the election, some of it was pretty prescient:
