Like the vote for Brexit though this goes way beyond politics, currency values, trade deals etc. Trump winning means those with xenophobic, racist, homophobic, sexist views feel they now have carte blanche to express those views. That there extremist views have been given some kind of respectability and been legitimised. To me much of this like Brexit is all about blaming Johnny foreigner for the failures of Government. It is the lowest level you can tap into, it offers the simple fix. I hear and see it here every day. NHS on its arse it is down to the immigrants, lack of housing, down to the immigrants, suppressed wages down to the immigrants, poor social care down to the immigrants. I really wouldn’t want to have a strange accent or be a different colour at the moment. It is all very sad.

Davkaus Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) yup, you can get on a noticable spike in hate crimes over the next few weeks as people with racist views feel legitimised. Edited November 9, 2016 by Davkaus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 The rise and threat of terrorism has had a huge part in more people becoming anti foreign, whether they are Muslim or not. Brexit, now trump winning is a sign of the times. Also note how Eastern Europe is also having a rise in neo nazi groups. Was it Austria who was close to having the far right being elected?

I take it she never did this? She won't move to America either. Just another liar who promises things but doesn't deliver on them. Much like the politicians she pretends to despise, for cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps she should be reminded of her obligation. The choice of sausage is an issue, though. I don't think a weedy little chipolata would suffice. Possibly a hefty salami?

The average person just wants a job & to be able to look after their family, People are sick of all the PC neoliberal stuff and being told how they should think by a few celebrities who take offence to everything on twitter. Plenty of women/minorities voted for him, Hell he even managed to increase the Black/Latino vote share from 2012 by a couple of % 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Clinton is a really pathetic campaigner...she ignored Michigan and Wisconsin thinking they were solidly blue. And ultimately, her message was all about how terrible Trump is, and very little about her own policies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rodders Posted November 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) "sick of being told how to think" - I see this often, but usually by people who've been told off for saying refugees should **** off and muslims are going to blow everyone up. Is there a genuinely normal view that isn't racist / homophobic / sexist / mysgonyistic that is met with a "you can't say that" ( that also hasn't been completely fabricated by certain media types - i.e. no-one says you can't say merry christmas despite what some phenomenally stupid people think ) Edited November 9, 2016 by Rodders 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
