No you bought into Trump's racist dog whistles and angry rhetoric. Because he had no plan, he had no policy, he didn't even know the president can't make laws. You bought into Trump the personality.

I agree. If you look at Hilary's tax plan vs. Trump's tax plan.. Hilary's was actually better.

This coming from a Republican.

Those of us who voted for Trump, simply want someone as President who will look out for the economic interests of the American citizen before anything else. That includes your economic interests.

Its all about the economy stupid. Its not about racism, returning to some other era, or dog whistles.
You all Voted out of anger fed by fear. Muslims, Mexicans, anchor babies, outsourcing, globalization, and Washington's mess. But not for change, people wanted to return to the past. trump is over his head, he has no clue... And he will have no choice but to bow to the same republicans who brought us here .

This election was driven by fear. I am curious to see how we can come back from that as a country. The slogan "Make America Great Again" is about turning back the clock to a time when many of us had fewer rights and freedoms. Many whites long for the days when we knew our "place" and that dog whistle was sounded over and over again during Trump's campaign.


I can guarantee that the process of eroding "our" freedoms will begin shortly after Trump's inauguration.

If you do not have enough faith in your fellow americans....whatever their "race" to do the right thing,you are a sad individual............The Fear is coming from you..........

You know,THAT gang.

I stand corrected, latest year 2011, blacks are 35% of gangs, hispanics are 46% and oh look whites are only 11%. So blacks and latinos win by a mile in a race no one wants to win.

No it does not.


When America benefited in the 50's,blacks did not.
They were denied the GI Bill,segregation was the rule,and they were still largely poor.

Trump actively discriminated against blacks in the 70's in his apartment buildings,so why would any black person trust this fool?

Trump also tweeted out fake stats,and called for the lynching of black teens in 1989 in NYC(who turned out to be innocent btw)

You mean the same Americans that oppressed blacks for centuries?

How the heck is a black person supposed to have faith in THOSE non black Americans?
