I sure see something wrong with it! The Dumbfuckistanis have taken over! And I live there! A real problem with the map is that it's out of date, since Trump is in the White House and the Republicans control Congress and soon the courts. We're all fucked now! We'll all be watering our lawns with gatorade before you know it! Seriously, the red area, at least the part between the coasts, is the part otherwise known as the "American Heartland" or the flyover states, depending on your location. The majority of the people in those states earn their living, directly or indirectly, by farming, manufacturing, and the extractive industries, none of which are doing terrifically at the moment. Many white older workers in those sectors have traditionally not valued higher education, especially when it comes to studying things that don't make you money. Why should they, when a good factory job could get you more than a college professor makes? Only fools would therefore be college professors. They also have traditionally seen no use for gub'ment--those fancy pants bureaucrats who don't really work for a livin". And the media--those smart-mouthed eggheads who think they know more than we do just cuz they're informed and educated? Downright un-Amerkan! But the jobs have been going away. Must be those damned ferriners! Trump is a billionaire real estate mogul so he must be purty smart. He says h'ell get rid of the ferriners and make Amerka great again. Let's vote for him! But the big problem with the map is that it doesn't show all the sensible folks in the red areas who didn't vote for Trump and are now speaking their minds at town halls and in the streets. That fancy billionaire New Yorker in the White House can try to dismiss them at his peril! Keep in mind, a majority of the people in this country didn't vote for Trump and don't like him! Maybe not so dumb after all!
Ok. An Estimated 57.9 Percent of Eligible Voters Voted in 2016. Voter turnout dipped from 62.3 percent of eligible citizens voting in 2008 to an estimated 57.5 in 2012. That figure was also below the 60.4 level of the 2004 election but higher than the 54.2 percent turnout in the 2000 election. http://bipartisanpolicy.org/library/2012-voter-turnout/ So I don't know what the issue is here. Total population percentage does not mean eligible voters. 90 million eligible voters did not vote with trump vs 93 mill eligible did not vote with Obama. My other stats came from here. Which is independent and takes no government, political funding, http://www.ipi.org/ipi_issues/article_detail.asp?name=the-social-and-political-cost-of-slow-economic-growth Why should anyone attack the usa? Everyone can watch the people from within destroy it. Now I am done. Getting back on track and staying on it, I won't let these people derail this train anymore.
During Obama's term of office he ended the 2008 financial crisis, bailed out GM and Chrysler (who were defaulting because of the financial crisis) and saved 3 million auto jobs, and he created an additional 22 million jobs by the end of his term, second only to Bill Clinton. He would have created more but the Republicans refused to pass his Americans Job Act. The national debt is up because he had to spend money to save us from the disastrous Republican finical policies that led to the Great Recession. During Obama's terms of office the economy grew 9 million jobs and the rte of unemployment was at historically low levels. Seriously? Have you been asleep? If the person they are voting for is a racist and they know it, they too may be racists. At the least they are complacent when it comes to racism. I have no idea what you are talking about. See above.
So its okay to drop a bunch of bogus statistics on us and say: okay, I'm done, back to topic? The issue here is that nobody is talking about eligible voters. We're talking about actual voters. Hillary got almost 2.9 million more popular votes than Trump, with 65,844,954 (25%) to Trump's 62,979,879 (46.1%). More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history. As for the source for your other statistics, its biased to the core. Your characterization of the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) as "independent" is laughable. You're right it gets no funding from the government. It is funded instead by a bunch of corporations and right-wing billionaires, including the Koch brothers, Exxon Mobil, and Scaife Foundations who were all out to get Obama. The IPI was founded in 1987 by right wing Republican congressman Dick Army, and won the conservative Capital Research Center's highest ranking for its conservatism of any interest group in the United States.
This is the best Trump protest I've seen: Notice the Russian flags his supporters are waving around at the CPAC meeting!
Well I find that rather rediculous for people to say this is showing Russian support. I wonder, do the lefts want to be an enemy to Russia? I think not passing off people with nukes is a good idea. Check out project starfish. Don't want that happening again personally. if he had done red white and blue in that order people would say it is the French flag, or the Dutch flag. Blue is a confident colour, stability, integrity, confidence and loyalty, Plus he was acknowlging the blue party, which I think was very nice of him and he put his name on it. yellow is a good contrast colour on blue, if white was in the middle it would be weak. Colour theory. Read up on it. It is also a very popular colour. By the way, when democrats win, what are the odds they put the blue in the middle as well? Okie, thanks for providing a link to your stats. *rolls eyes* and to. where you get your info. Lol. How about you just let three states vote and tell the rest of the country to fuck off? TAKE WHITE out of the WHITE HOUSE BRING REFORM to this COUNTRY Stand up for the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
That is a good one., I can picture it in my mind. Anti trump posters screaming to kill white people while holding that sign. I like it.
All this racial histrionic resulted actually in two Indian engineers being misidentified as Middle Eastern men by an American and shot dead in the U.S. yesterday. Here's the report. A jewish cemetery was similarly vandalised and Jewish institutions threatened as well over there. Looks like America is getting back to the good old days of the 'Wild, Wild West'. Since it is just a two century old nation, this is all the history it has, and they probably want to hang on to it.
