But I know enough about human nature to know that there are fringe characters at every event which sparks strong emotions. It manifests on the fringes of the right wing also, like when a man goes up in a tower at a college and shoots people with a rifle. Or more recently, when a right winger in Texas (or states-righters in Oregon and Idaho) went and shot several policemen. If you know anything about human nature, you know there are nutcases at the fringes. Unfortunately for the US right now; right wingers got hoodwinked into voting for a TV personality who is surrounding himself with other dangerous dufuses.

But they're not the only ones. During the inauguration: Pastor Samuel Rodriguez recites the Beatitudes (the “blessed are the poor” stuff). Nice subtle trolling, Hispanic pastor guy! Then the chorus sang about welcoming strangers as Trump prepares to rescind DACA and tear families apart. May be the choir were trolling him too!

Less than 60% of Americans voted at all and miilons of women who voted for Trump were home working or taking care of their families. He was elected president by a considerable margin. They had no reason to march or protest after a satsifying win. It is clear. His approval rating is only 40%. Meaning 60% don't approve of what he's doing. And he was not elected by a considerable margin and you know that. It was one of the closest races ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electoral college vote was historically not a large margin for trump, and the only reason he won that at all were a few surprise states that he won with very thin margins. So it was not close popular, but vote-wise was close electorally. What's annoying is that trumpists aren't interested in facts. They keep pushing this BIG LIE that trump has a mandate and won a landslide election. Totally false. The actual reality is that he is a MINORITY president, meaning most Americans oppose him. But he's acting like he has a mandate ... his speech was only to his base, and he's now dividing the USA in a massive way with such B.S.

That one of his first acts is pushing a BIG LIE about the crowds at his inauguration, yes, yet another bad omen. He says it's for the people, but it's only his supporters he's making any pledges too ... most Americans are NOT his supporters. See the problem there?

You and your whiny liberal friends can cry all day about "popular vote" this or that.....doesn't make a whit of difference. Btw, were those NBC news polls the same ones that were predicting an 80% chance of a Hillary Clinton victory? How'd that work out? Electoral votes, hmm, sounds cozy. Here's a thought. Democracy - a system of government by the whole population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Teresa May to be first head of state to visit him... Wonder why??? probably because it is customary to invite ones host for a reciprocal visit, no doubt he expects a full state visit with all the pomp including a few days shacked up in Buck House. Oh Boy, is he in for a reality shock, suspect when he does come, London will grind to a halt with major protests that even he could not fail to notice.

Interesting way of putting it... fair one. perhaps by 2020, the stupidity will have given way to sensible reasoned thought, and more than 55% of voters will turn out, before the fact, to have their say, instead of bitching about it after the fact. the country voted.... the people had their say.... the people now have their way.... nod your head, smile... and bring your own KY jel.

Jingthing Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) We can't turn back history. We have to deal with what's happening now. The dark reality that the USA elected a nutcase authoritarian that calls his opponents, fellow Americans that represent the majority of Americans, THE ENEMIES. He's like Putin, but obviously less slick. Edited January 22, 2017 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is so bugged by the news reports of smaller the crowd at his inauguration that he called this press conference, which was really just a propaganda announcement, for the sole purpose of refuting the reality of the low attendance. Also, not a peep about the massive worldwide Women's march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
