News Donald Trump's Popularity To Date

[hodge]

@Abstract, yes. Sexism. Racism. All of these ugly things we thought we had made so much progress in overcoming. Too many of our fellow "Americans" have evidently held on to these evils and have crawled out from under the rocks to reinforce them today. It is a sad and shameful day to be an American.

Not on just a fear level------a practical level------what if I can't stay here? It's a very real thing and not just my paranoia.

Nooo. The country is fully fed up and that is what we are seeing today. It's not sexism, American thinking rape is ok or agree with the horrible things Trump has said. I said it at the beginning of this thread, the country is in a very sad state right now and Americans are fed up and want a change. Clinton doesn't equate change, it equates Obama's policy.

We get paid less now, on average, then we did in 1999. Our borders are wide open which equates the terroism we see everywhere. All jobs are going overseas. ObamaCare is usualess other than f*cking up perfectly fine group insurence...and after f*cking up my insurence completely and then raising the cost, I just enrolled for next year today and again, it is going up $25 a paycheck, that I need.

Americans are just fed up and want a change, a big change. And though I am no where near pro-Trump, I completely understand it. Clinton would be another Obama term in my opinion.

I think it was the Washington Post that said that waiting for the election results with this election is like waiting for biopsy results. :(

God only knows what nightmares are ahead, but to all our foreign friends, please know we are not all like this and many of us did our best to keep this from happening.

I'm holding on to "it ain't over till it's over." Meanwhile, in stockpiling ammunition. All I can think I'd that those of us who are members of the groups he doesn't think have any rights had better be prepared to defend ourselves. We have a good constitution, written to protect the people from the government. It might get a good work out. But it ain't over till it's over. :ninja:

 

[hodge]

I like your spirit, @scout86.

I was told, by my far right father, to give Obama a chance, we need to give Trump a chance. I understand the fear. I have that same fear. But, I think we will see a lot less over the top Trump. Most especially these next few weeks or so as he reassures everyone.

I honestly don't think he will be so over the top as President. He picked good running mates, and I think we will see as he has been the last few weeks. Much more calm.

I would expect this was the deciding factor.

I think the one thing I've not ever heard mentioned, though I am horrified Americans will be represented by someone touting sexist, racist, & ignorant beliefs is he is so hot-headed it may be the very type of leader foreign dictators & terrorist groups will have a bit of trepidation about- simply recognizing he is unpredictable & may respond without a 'clear head prevailing'. The bad news is though, he may TRULY respond without a clear head prevailing. :( I think the world needs more peace, but we do not find peace within our own families or borders.

What I find most disturbing, is not some of the things he said that others were thinking too, just not saying; but how many others either agree enough in principle, or conversely are not offended enough, that they did not withdraw support.

Historically, globally, scapegoating & guaranteeing jobs wins elections (along with power, influence & money).

Yikes.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Female and disabled.



So what countries dont have strict immigration laws and would be good to move to?

I'll start practicing my Canadian dialect so I won't be identified as an American lol

"They're gonna have to pretty my gun out of my cold, dead hand."

And I'd bet he's for the second amendment right up until he's afraid someone is aiming at him.

I honestly expect him to continue acting just like he has. I think what we've been seeing is the real Trump.

And if Clinton pulls this out in the end, there's going to be a huge "I was robbed!" fight
