Obama didn't use fascism and bigotry to sell himself... so yeah, people are a lot more upset now than they were after a campaign based on hope and change.

Neither did Trump use fascism or bigotry. That's just your interpretation. Same country who voted for Obama voted for Trump. The people who voted for Trump were not sold by bigotry or fascism at all. They wanted change. Obama sold Change. Didn't really deliver the Change. Trump also sold Change. And good chance he might deliver because he is not doing anything by the book. Even the way foreign leaders are contacting him is not going by the book at all compared to when Obama was elected. Everything is already changing and he is already doing everything a different way. And there are already ripples on changes on how things are done.

And don't forget the apology tour. We on the right were just as upset, we just have higher standards of behavior. Projection again you assume that if we had been as upset as the left is now we would act the same way they are.

quote: ORIGINAL: BamaD And don't forget the apology tour. Yea I seriously don't understand this. I can imagine if my own leader goes around the world apologizing, I'd be pissed off too. Like WTF! We are our own country and we do things OUR way! What other country thinks is not our problem. We don't exist to make them happy! The most important thing is that our people are happy. That is the only scale to bother with. Which is also why, I don't understand the hate towards Putin. If you read how Russians feel online, they want a good relationship with the US, they don't think Putin is a terrible President. AND they really want to stop being enemies with the US. But problem is, what benefits Russia may hurt the US, so there lies the conflict. I hope Trump and Putin can really come up with a win-win solution. I want to see Trump get along with Russia and China. But we'll see. Since within the Republican camp, most are anti-Russia too. So this Russia thing is just him on his own lone island.

bounty44 -> RE: These aren't "protests" (11/18/2016 5:15:41 AM)
though I probably should have tempered my language a bit to seem less absolute, sorry, rare exceptions don't disprove general rules. regardless, there is still an essential difference between a protest that turns violent due to acute circumstances on the ground and ones that set out originally with that, or other law-breaking, as its method and goal. how many truly comparable instances exist? very few. and that in comparison to the amount of peaceful protests on either side? in recent history compare the tea party protest/demonstrations to ows, and as greta asked, "protests like what is happening now?" no, there is no comparison.

So how did a riot that was staged by Republican party staffers to illegally stop a vote recount not start out with an illegal aim, then?

" -Rocky J Suhayda Has any American president in recent history ever inspired such a passionate response by confirmed fascists and bigots? The answer is no. LMAO. No, the left was inspired by Obama's Hope and Change. Of course they never asked what Hope and Change meant, they just assumed it meant what they personally thought it meant. So, who knows how many little confirmed socialist bigots were inspired. I'd say more than the very few fascists you are referring to. To me, it just shows that the left really doesn't want information about the details or outcome as long as they can feel good about the intention.

quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic Only 13 % of the population is AA. THere must have been an AWFUL lot of Black families buying a lot of houses, To cause the cluster fuck that hit in 2007-8. But ok lets go with that bullshit as true, if you are going to blame poor black people. Why havent the repubs done something about it in the past 6 years? Let's look at this straw man. While the change was implemented to allow inner city minorities, not just AA, to have access to mortgages, it wasn't exclusively used by AA's. Everybody who could not normally afford a mortgage used the new regulations. People who normally worked and saved to obtain a 20% down payment no longer did so and bought as much house as they wanted instead of as much house as they could afford. The attitude was that the housing market would always go up, they could sell in five years, before ballon payments came do, and make a profit which they could then use to buy a house to keep. So people that could afford...say...a $100,000 mortgage were taking out $200,000 mortgages. Your inability to see past your little comfort zone makes what statements you do make pretty silly.

Obama didn't use fascism and bigotry to sell himself. The person using fascism and bigotry to sell themselves was Hillary Clinton with her repeated facetious allegations pointed at Donald Trump that so disgusted enough Americans, if they weren't already, that they voted her out on her ass.

It isn't like this is something only reported in obscure alt-right flame sites. I kept the number of links down and mostly only did liberal biased sources except for Fox News as they come out as the top search destination of the google metrics for searches for the subject.
