2016 Presidential Race AND POLL

[The Oi]

I don't care how you spin it, that is a fucking TERRIBLE and EMBARRASSING reason to vote for someone for president. Out of spite? To make someone else feel bad? How childish is this country?

I've been ant-PC since day 1. I'm still pretty liberal.

I didn't say I did or actually would have. That would be asinine.

I'm saying I just find it ridiculous that people can't handle maintaining facebook friendships with people who don't even espouse political beliefs because they assume they voted for Trump.

My sister in law's sister in law whatever the fuck that is, didn't show up to my niece's birthday party two weeks after the election. She told several different lies to people about why she didn't attend, including that she had a CPR class, had to fold laundry and "just didn't feel well."

Turns out, she ASSUMED most of the people in the house had voted for Trump and she couldn't handle being around them. Meanwhile, there was probably a handful of people who did and none of them would have said a goddamn thing or voted for him because they disliked Hillary.

I'm just fascinated by this inability of people to be around people they think MIGHT have voted for Trump. People are just alienating the shit out of themselves with this still.

There remains this OMGURATRUMPVOTER stigma that should probably be let go of pretty quickly, considering that he's the fucking President and the bullshit elitism is what made a lot of people vote for him in the first place.

I think this was more meant of as a joke.

Some of it was.

Trump Voter shaming is going on all over campus. Its a thing. The idea to shame people who voted for trump was a plan, and traces back to the whole deplorables thing, and it is being encouraged by the administrators and professors. It was a bad idea, and I think it hurt the HRC campaign. Both camps reduced the political dialogue to something along the lines of "You're a doodyhead!" and that needs to end.

I personally think some on the losing side in this one has been less sportsmanlike than the last two elections. I was watching the first trump "Victory" Rally in Cincinnati on a TV while my car was being serviced at the dealership. Woman in front of me kept breaking out in anti trump exclamations. There were four other people there who were just rolling their eyes. I don't know what it is, but it seems that a portion of the voters were really hoping HRC would somehow make their lives better, and now feel, as Michelle Obama put it, "without hope".

I dont think it is a good idea to put hang your aspirations on the election of a president. You figure out how to find your hope regardless of who is president or senator or governor. Not one of those people wakes up every day and says, gee how am I gonna make XXX's life better.. Only you can do that for you and yours.

I think their position comes from what has been happening lately. It seems like, with the political rhetoric, that we are going backwards and not forward. This stems from some of the appointments to the cabinet as well as Chief of Staff and Strategy advisers.

I dont think so.

The shaming was apparent before the election. About half my neighborhood voted for trump and the other half voted for HRC. But only the HRC supporters put up the signs. I think that is because the trump supporters did not want any grief..

And just after the election, I overheard one coed regaling her friends with a story of how she outted a trump supporter in her sorority and everybody unfriended her on facebook. This was before any of the cabinet selections were made.

I am just saying the cool kids did not vote for trump.. If you were on some campuses and you wore your trump hat, you aren't getting laid. Just not happening..

My point is that calling someone uncool for their political views is not new per se, but reached a new level in this election. I dont know how we dial that back to respectful dialog, but that is where we need to go.

Eh, if you can't make up your mind otherwise, schadenfreude can be a nice tiebreaker....

That being said, I think the those reactions are a good thing. It validates the belief that the country as a whole may have been getting too hypersensitive, and that we weren't too far away from greater restrictions on free political speech. Having these people meltdown publicly, or having the women in the example who were being loud and ostentatious in their disapproval of Trump in a public place, reinforces how much it was a message that needed to be sent.

It needs to be ridiculed.

The rhetoric happened during the campaign season even before the debates, remember Trump used some disrespectful words for Elizabeth Warren in addition to Hillary. I am not saying he can't say those thing (he absolutely can) but to say it wasn't happening prior is a little disingenuous.

I am not even going to address the "not getting laid on college campuses" because if you try that today you will be labeled as a mysoginist looking at women as only objects. It goes back to the regressives looking for "safe spaces" and not trying to offend anyone.

That is part of the problem the divide is getting too big. The extremes are starting become the "normal." There is no middle ground, there is no dialog. Let's resort to name calling to get points across because calling Hillary Killary has more impact more visceral emotion than using her actual name.

And it's heartening to see the left getting an early start on 2020 when it comes to boosting the anti-PC vote:

Holiday cheer from MTV News: It’s time for some “white guy resolutions”

Something they threw together in the spirit of the season to remind us that racial and gender stereotypes are bad, with one exception. As a billion people on Twitter noted this afternoon as this dopey clip made the rounds, it is indeed basically a campaign ad for Trump 2020....

http://hotair.com/archives/2016/12/...news-its-time-for-some-white-guy-resolutions/

Jesus Christ. I mean some of these actually weren't even bad points but "white guy resolutions"?

And it wasn't funny or particularly clever, so it was fucking cringy as fuck.

I'm telling you man...this overcorrection is going way too far. You're going to frustrate all of these "privileged white guys" whose backs you're putting targets on for women and minorities to shit on and walk them right on over to the GOP...and all this pissing and moaning after the election is making it a hell of a lot easier to walk away.

Do guys even get pussy on college campuses anymore or is it considered too offensive to lean in for a first kiss?

I don't know but from a nephew that goes to a public college in Ohio if you try then all you are doing is objectifying women as objects that you want only for their body...

At this rate the human race will be extinct in a generation or 2 if, heaven forbid, men find women attractive.

Sounds like your nephew needs to sack up.

I think you legally have to ask for permission and get it in writing first.

That's not a joke
