Riots breaking out all over US due to Trump winning

[sciarc]

I think people may finally stop harrassing white people, for once.

Laughed so hard I choked.

Problem is the facts don't seem to matter anymore, feels beat reals.

That's been the case for a LOOOONG time. How do you think Obama got in?

[Lisa Frank Succubus]

I don't like him at all, didn't vote for him but whatever its done. At least I won't have the "blood of millions" like one guy told me when he guessed who I voted for since he believed Russia would invade his country in the election's aftermath. I'm glad I don't have to have that weigh on my conscious, since my state did come pretty close.

I didn't say the GOP isn't, but Trump isn't. The rest of the GOP is though. Nothing will change, since Congress is still inept.

Trump says he isn't. But watch who he puts in his Cabinet and other high level positions. That'll tell the story better than any 30 sec. soundbite. He's already got Pence, Giuliani and Christie lined up, among other all-stars of the regressive right.

[Spiffums]

Shit! How did they manage to stay up till it got called, riot and burn stuff and still make it to work on time this morning?

Remember that ACA was modeled after Romneycare. Legit logic bro, and all of that.

You are 10 posts late to understand the original context. It's not your fault but, this started with the notion that this was all a big compromise of both parties.

Violence in riots is a definite no. Any point people are trying to make goes out the window the moment they resort to intimidation and the destruction of property. Then again this isn't at all surprising - the 'regressive left' as it has come to be known bears many extremist elements that refuse to accept democracy or even work to form some sort of compromise.

They had multiple opportunities to mitigate the situation. They ignored Hillary's dubious scandals, they branded an exceptional amount of people as 'bigots' and 'racists'. It was the same with Brexit and history is repeating itself.

Doubt it. I think people may finally stop harrassing white people, for once. So no, it's a big win.

I doubt that. Just look at Daelak's comments, vitriol, hatred, and straight-up racism. There will be people all over who target you and say "you're a white male, you're all the things wrong with this country". Genocidal racists like Lena Dunham will only be emboldened.

Oh I know, and it'll be like that in another 4-8 years. People are craving a silver bullet to fix all their problems but seem to not understand that you can't claim you want change while voting in nearly all of the same people into your government every 2-4 years. It takes more than just President to fix America, that was true 8 years ago, 16 years ago and it's true today.

Please don't die, I don't want the first death caused by the elections to be caused by me on a social forum board

White people fought alongside minorities for so long so everyone would have a fair chance. Today, minorities are fighting against white people out of spite because they didn't help them soon enough. It's saddening.

Yeah I didn't read back that far into this section. But I can't give either party a pass on this health care giveaway to the ins. corps. since they're both responsible for it.

Except the point of : not going to take your shit no more

Except it was Trump who said he'd wait to accept the results, Trump who suggested 2nd Amendment people might need to "do something" if Hillary wins, it's Trump who constantly said he and his supporters would take the country back. To suggest that only one side has been divisive is disingenuous at best.

So if america becomes a literal dictatorship people shouldn't rebel? I'm condemning the current riots. People will get hurt, it drags the democract's argument into the dirt and just galvanises more support for trump. But I am very fearful of what the next 4-8 years will bring. You've just elected a man who has openly stated he will ignore election results he doesn't like. What are people to do if Trump does that in 2020 or 2024?

you suggesting he's gonna pull a hitler and have the house and senate grant him full furher like powers with the army answering only to him?

which is an absolutely shit point to make on a legally elected President. People need to grow up, even if they hate Trump. Regroup, plan better, and get a better candidate.

Do you not remember the 2008 election? Mcain was a decent candidate but Palin was scary as fuck. Trump is male though so its ok for him to be completely uninformed.

[Masark]

the army answering only to him?

That's already the case in the USA. WRT the military, Congress just controls the money and can say "You can't spend any money to do this stuff".

[IntellectuallyChallenged]

Idiots, doing idiot things, because they're idiots.

the minority always have to suck it up, that's life, but sometimes, they don't suck it up quietly

That's always been a weak counter point on their part, though. If it's 'equality' they seek then they'd be out there pushing for genuine equality and acknowledging that many of the issues they try to paint as only affecting 'minorities' is just as applicable to the 'Straights' and 'Whites' that many of them try to delude themselves into believing are naturally privileged.

They're not. There's an awful lot of discrimination going around in all directions but a lot of people (on both sides) are buying into the ridiculous divisive rhetoric. If and when people start learning how to think critically and consider different perspectives whilst compromising on complicated issues then that is when great change will sweep over America and Europe.

Until then I fear it's just going to be more of the same.
