Are you really justifying it based on your personal opinion only?

really?

You claim to know why MILLIONS of people voted now?

just wow

:shocked:

Personally I feel that anyone who believes that Clinton is guilty simply of 'writing a few emails' is not exactly riding high above the 'ignorant'.

Child. Rapist.

If you're going to insist on riding the E-mail train then that must mean you think the email business is worse than the President-elect allegedly being a child rapist. You can't harp on about the emails but ignore the serious allegations against Trump.

I doubt this will actually happen but who knows considering Republicans have control of the Presidency and Congress :worry:

Abortion rights will definitely be set back too

This. I could see it coming a mile off.


But I'm horrified. Absolutly horrified. And scared. This is a man who has made such hateful statements about women, muslims, the LGBT community and the world in general. It's another example of fear and hate mongering prevailing and the public'a phobias and bigotry being taken example of. We really are at one of the darkest points in our lifetime.

I am happy to wait while you try and justify this statement below:

"Millions of people voted for Trump despite the fact that his policies were unrealistic and would be detrimental to his typical target audience simply because they bought into the soundbites rather than the reality of the situation. That's incredibly ignorant."

Please provide the members with the evidence you have to support this



Ill put the kettle on meantime

Allegedly being the operative word. btw you were the one harping on about the emails.

There have been many accusations laid at her door, including how she was complicit in a decision to remove security from an embassy in Iraq/Iran which led to innocent Amercians being murdered. No doubt the death of a few working-class Amercians didn't stop her sleeping at night.

She is ambitious to the point of corruption. What was it you were saying about the nazis. I see more correlation with her than him.

Not someone I would want ruling my country - even Trump is preferable to her.

All leaders are corrupt it's naive to think otherwise. A corrupt leader is preferable to a moron.

Alleged or not, that case still has a court date which is more than can be said for any of the accusations thrown at Hillary.

I have to say that statement is not proved and while I'm no fan of Trump, it is very reckless to treat those kind of accusations as fact until they are proved by a court of law.

Yet you are okay with the Clinton Allegations?

You can't act like the accusations against Hillary are the gospel truth and then downplay the allegations against Trump.

To think the majority of Americans actually voted for Hillary, makes the whole thing even worse. Given Trumps criticism of the system and his accusations of it being rigged, it would have been interesting if it was the other way around. But the system being the way it is has benefited him greatly here so of course there mustn't be anything wrong with it after all :rolleyes:

Brother Leon 09-11-2016 01:15 PM

Still can't believe Hilary sent some lackey out to give her crying supporters some hope and send them home, while she was conceding on the phone. Shows why so many people had a hard time believing she really cares about you once your usefulness is over.

The thing I've never understood about this line of reasoning is that the criticisms of her actions whilst in various state offices are obviously subject to scrutiny but then the assumption that Donald Trump would've handled everything absolutely differently and Always Done The Right Thing™ is just incredibly naive. I understand the motives behind anti-establishment voting but the figures that people are placing their faith in - billionaires from birth with no experience of real working struggles, let alone global diplomacy - is just so so bizarre.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to compare this result to Nazi Germany and display a deep ignorance of what actually happened in Nazi Germany.

This whole thing of people being shut down because they don't agree with a leftist view is the very thing that's caused the results we've had. So leftists, although you think you're all-knowing and everyone else is a dickhead, take a bow. This is YOUR victory.

I think there are comparisons to be made; as you said yourself, the result is down to a frustrated and ignored population rallying behind something "different" that they don't fully understand.

However, that's not to say that it will be a "Nazi Germany situation" - because as I said before, I don't think Trump truly believes half of the rhetoric he used to gain votes. There's not real "passion" behind his various "-isms" and he's unlikely to actually act on any of them. He will focus primarily on the economy / isolationist ("Made By American Hands With American Stuff!") business idealism that he has, and make a bit of a mess there, and then he'll be voted out in 4 years.
