Space Mackerel Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Very true. So time to get on with her regional assembly role and fixing our failing education, health services, police and housing and leave the international diplomacy gig to the bigger brains. It's not that bad you know, you're reading too many Yoony Loony rags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapper John McIntyre Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) A girl in my workplace equated Trump's victory with the rise of Hitler. Picking on minorities, promising work, autobahn's, etc. All based on her watching the 'Rise of Hitler' on the History channel... After the initial, shock, as I certainly didn't want him to win and I suppose like most people saw Hilary as the lesser of two evils, I'm willing now to give him a chance for quite frankly, what else can anyone do but that? The handringing has to end. The 'I hate Trump more than you coz I want to look good and Liberal' along with rioting in the streets, while understandable, solves nothing. If the Left want to do something about Trump and Brexit in Britain, it has to sort itself out and not look to equally extremist nutters like Sanders and Corbyn for answers. We all, whether we like it or not, will have to ride out the current wave blowing though the Western world and hope to come up with some alternative middle ground acceptable to all once it passes over (and it will pass over). Don't blame Trump and Farage. They've just reeped the whirlwind of discontent and anger amongst millions of citizens the Left for all its pretensions of looking after the little people, have ignored.

AlimOzturk Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I imagine more people voted for Clinton because she was a woman than didn't. Trump won as he fits the feeling of the world right now. Clinton was much of a muchness. I don't think people are really grasping how pissed off people are right now about Islamisation, political correctness, social justice warriors and the entire progressive left. It is so in your face as they are literally bulldozing their way into all our lives. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlimOzturk Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Fwiw I think the Donald Trump we see and heard over the past year and a half with all his outlandish comments will slip silently away and a far more Presidential one will appear. His initial winners speech and subsequent meeting and speeches are already pointing to this. Trump and his team knew by making a show of the election and praying on people fears and hatred they would have a great chance of winning. Now they are past the winning post it will be business as usual IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to disagree with any of that. Many of the people who voted for Trump in places like Ohio and Pennsylvania are the same type of people who voted for Reagan and Bush Senior, to be screwed over or ignored by them, then voted for Clinton followed by Bush Junior, to be ignored by one and screwed over by the other, and then voted for Obama, to be ignored by him. They'd be forgiven for seeing a pattern there, and for hoping that a vote for Trump won't be wasted as their previous votes were. I saw a few of them being interviewed on TV on election night, and they seemed like ordinary regular people who have been abandoned by the political establishment. I can't help feeling that they'll be disappointed yet again, but maybe this time they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Believer Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Just watched the end of the President Obama, President Elect Trump, meeting. No questions allowed, but both men acted in a very, considering their past, subdued manner. Trump was diplomatic, referred to the President as a good man, and stated he would seek counsel in the future. If two men with such diverse views can sit down and accept the result and get on with it, then the rest of the world should do the same. It was somewhat difficult to believe this solemn, polite, respectfull man was the same absolute bufoon who spent the last year and a half on TV making an idiot of himself. I mean Trump of course. So I think that this is part of the problem. It's not that hard for multi-millionaires to shake hands after they've won/lost, almost as if it was a game - we saw the same from Cameron after Brexit. The cost of losing was a life of luxury on an estate somewhere and much the same will be true of Clinton. Meanwhile some guy in the US is now relying on Trump to somehow get him back into work after his factory closed 10 years ago and someone else who has worked in the US for 10 years is waiting to see if he will be deported to Mexico. Those guys can't shake hands and have a laugh about it because it's almost life and death for them. The extreme reactions we see are born out of real fear which I honestly don't think the politicians understand at all. Telling people to chill out is all very well when you're not in fear of being unable to provide for your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 While I don't know my theory is that Trump has been engaged in a major piece of acting. He and his close people decided a strategy to win. Anniliate Clinton, focus on being the outsider, criticise anything associated with the established order including the media, simple messages on economy and immigration. It was horrible and indefensible much of what he said. But I wager he will be completely different as President. Yes he will tighten immigration and overturn Obama laws etc. But he might just change things in a positive way. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day 1 of Trump's America 100% confident the two latter ones are lies. Thousands cause thousands of dollars worth of damage while burning cars to protest against the democratic election of the President of the 'land of the free', while preaching about 'tolerance'.
