If a person says "its raining today" and I say "no it is not"; You saying "but it is going to rain tomorrow" doesnt change that you are wrong about today.
It's sort of deliciously ironic that the same middle aged and older voters who are enraged by the browning of America are the same people who will eventually have trouble finding someone to wipe their *** or help them to the bathroom at their nursing home because of a future shortage of labor made worse by a crackdown on immigration.
God, guns and gays - a time honored strategy to get rural America to vote against their own self interests. Not something new and not the last time it will happen. I personally enjoy the hilarious irony of watching poor and middle class rural dwellers get suckered into voting for a New York huckster while claiming that he understands them and will do something to improve their lives. Trump is a member of the same elite club that took away their pensions, stagnated their wages, and outsourced their jobs.
Exactly. Not exactly new, is it? Trump was able to tap into that anger and use it to his advantage.
When millennials think of Christians these days - they think of exactly the bolded since that is what evangelicals seem to stand for . . as opposed to the teachings of Jesus.
Such a turnoff for young people.

Great point. That is exactly what the poster admitted.

She did. But WV didn't want to hear it. Some of those coal miners though, are realizing that they were conned. Good for them.

Nah, it's not irrelevant, it's will be the natural progression but you want to ignore that because it doesn't work for what you're trying to push.

LOL. For YEARS I wished that progressives would just stop. Stop with all the name calling, finger pointing and demonizing of those who disagreed with them. It was about this time last year (with the primaries in full swing) that I began to wish that progressives would just keep doing what they had been doing. Because maybe............just maybe..........conservatives (and some reasonable and rational liberals) would get angry enough to be able to stop the progressive agenda in its tracks the next election. And that is what happened.
But it wasn't just the non-stop demonization of opposing viewpoints, it was the conscious attempts (often successful) to destroy those with opposing viewpoints. Destroy their businesses. Destroy their reputations. Destroy their lives and their livelihoods.
And it wasn't just the constant demonization (including our own president demonizing us on the world stage). it was the utter nonsensical. Everything from bringing refugees into the country (when our own intelligence heads TOLD us they couldn't be vetted and Obama accused us of being afraid of women and orphans) - to uncontrolled illegal immigration - to Obamacare passing without anyone knowing what was in it - to gender neutral bathrooms in schools and gender being a social construct - to embracing a group like BLM and deliberately ignoring actual statistics on killings by police officers - to white privilege - to the maintenance of college students in perpetual childhood - and so much more.
The country was falling into an abyss of insanity of political correctness.
Black kids brazenly taking over a stage for Bernie Sanders. White college kids in a row on their knees begging forgiveness for their white privilege. A little kid being sent home from school because he ate his pop tart into the shape of a gun. Boys and girls sharing the same showers after gym class. Baltimore rioters being given "room to destroy". Safe spaces and micro aggressions. Students humiliating and yelling at dorm supervisors as though they were dogs. The open call for the death of law enforcement officers. There are hundreds of examples of the wrong, the inappropriate and the ridiculous. And it was all slowly killing this country.
And it wasn't just the insanity of political correctness. It was the corruption and the incestuousness of politicians and the media. The complete disregard for those communities that were being decimated by liberal policies. The arrogant dismissal of those without a college education. It was the declaration that climate change was the most destructive force we had to be concerned about. It was singing to heart broken Parisians that they "had a friend". It was red lines ignored and terrorist nations catered to and "workplace violence" and reset buttons and ambushed police officers and the constant, never ending. toxic, malicious drum beat that half the country was racist and sexist when it wasn't true. It was the smarmy, self righteous, superior implication (and often declaration) that liberals knew better and that conservatives were mostly old white people who (in the words of Oprah Winfrey and repeated often on this site) just needed to die.
Liberals speak of tolerance. But they don't mean it. Not really. This past 8 years have been filled with untold numbers of examples of their small minded lack of tolerance, and truthfully, this college educated, conservative woman has been disgusted by the words and actions, so many times, of so many so-called progressives.
Every once in awhile, a ship has to change course, whether gradually of abruptly. Spot on post and thanks for saying it so eloquently.
