So, despite the narrative I'm reading, Trump did not "energize" his base. He merely replaced almost every reasonable voter (who abstained) with a degenerate. Clinton failed to energize her base. Everybody said Romney had poor turnout, but Trump had slightly less.
Desperate people being violated is as old as time. Maybe Trump can bring that to America. He certainly seems to be heading in that way. Also, something is wrong with your math. How many women can one man rape? I think it's a pretty high number, and I don't think that person (people) are coming to the US when they obviously have such great opportunity where they are currently set up.
Well, to be fair, authoritarians have learned that they don't have to send people to kick in door. They can marginalize a group pretty effectively and let them die alone. Trump probably thinks camps are a waste of money. He's proven that nobody is really concerned about what he does.
Trump certainly proved that not only could you ignore anyone who isn't white (and male), GOP strategy for decades. You can get better results by anointing your chosen "race" and actively discounting any other. Basically, we're looking at a return to early 1900's thinking. Nationalist spirit (mindless), worship of the aristocracy (celebrities), disregard for the deprivations of business (environmental or worker). Most people don't know that Woodrow Wilson purged blacks from the Federal workforce when he became President. Trump could easily do something as heinous and it would be lost to history in afew decades. I don't think he will, but I didn't think he would win, so what the hell do I know.
Says the older white male, grasping at the life his father had. Killing himself slowly with cigarettes, booze, and other "legal" narcotics. The war is lost, this is basically the battle of the bulge.
The GOP has (not for the first time), the perfect opportunity to affect real change. They could probably push through constitutional amendments limiting money in politics. They could enact term limits. They could improve healthcare by expanding medicaid. There are dozens of things they could do.
But we know they won't. They will make moves to consolidate their power and prevent others from taking seats from them. Otherwise, it's business as usual, let the palm greasing and ass kissing commence.
It's sad, but I think you truly believe this, it's probably a sign of your degraded mental state. I hope you don't own any firearms. The media reports life, and life progresses, it rarely regresses. This give the media a progressive slant, like real life. It doesn't come close to comparing to the strict bias and shameless lying of the right wing "media" machine. Fox News is truly the closest thing America hast o Pravda, maybe some of the lunatic fringe like Alex Jones are closer, but they aren't "mainstream".
The only thing wrong with Hillary is the 25 years of lies and misinformation she's been saddled with.Granted, the Democrats should have seen that, but even with this handicap she was a shoe in until the FBI bullshit.
You misspelled Right-wing, because the parents and most of the people in my neighborhood are... Whether Trump said what he meant, or meant what he said, is another issue. I doubt it, but it's clearly been a ray of hope to a certain undesirable section of Trump's support. Since you seem to be implying you reject them as well, let's call them "deplorable", or you can make a suggestion. Would you prefer "race hero"?
Thanks for replying with a non-anonymous account. This is not true. One of the children's parents apologized, and acted upset. They lean conservative, but know us personally. The other parent did not and may be avoiding me. Their kid has parroted alot of things from his environment. It is not a "liberal" household.
You know nothing. My mother identifies her children as "white" and used to get mad when I would check "other". I learned to check "other" because of the clear rejection of other whites. My kids can pass for white, but I clearly don't, no matter what my Mother wishes.
Just today I was relating this story to a "trumper", who acted horrified, and she implied my 1 year old didn't look white to her. Two of my children have a darker complexion, she's one of them.
My wife and I never thought of ourselves as a mixed couple, but have been asked about being a mixed couple several times (only by whites). I'm a realist with idealist tendencies, stop bullshitting me and trying to involve me in your "feel good" narrative.
I talked to my son, but this was not leftist talk, this was the talk of racists and xenophobes. I'm tired of letting people get away with this shit because I'm too polite to call them out. This is clearly an expectation of a certain segment of Trump supporters. They want Mexican's out. Keep lying to yourself, but don't bother lying to me anymore,
This was not leftist FUD, it was far right children talking. My state has few leftists. This is the sick underbelly of what the far right expects to happen.

Trump probably won't attack another country,
I'll take that bet. War is the only consistent US policy.
America just bought a 4 year scratch off ticket, the problem is those don't usually win.
So, we have friend and foe, but Slashdot really needs a "racist" and "racist apologist" button. Maybe "misogynist" as well.
Google won't allow me to use the family plan with my custom domain, thanks for rubbing it in.
That's the joke.
Winner winner, chicken dinner.
Democrats aren't Marxists, but thanks for playing. Last year I would have said Republicans aren't Fascists.

Wait, are we talking about White, Protestant America now?

To a man like Trump, it's not what you've had, it's what you haven't had or can't have that matters.
The GOP has (not for the first time), the perfect opportunity to affect real change. They could probably push through constitutional amendments limiting money in politics. They could enact term limits. They could improve healthcare by expanding medicaid.

They are closer then you think.

I think my county only voted about 30% democrat.

Thankfully, they will probably be disappointed.
No, those were the children of Trump supporters telling my son this on the bus.
Careful. If you say those names out load you'll feel an evil gaze resting on your soul.
