Zakaria identifies spoiled, angry, culturally regressive whites to Trump's win

I believe any honest person can admit there is more than just a grain of truth to this. A YouTube of any Trump rally, or even the most cursory review of the body of work of rightwing message board posters bears this out.

White American men have been the most privileged subset of human beings in the history of the planet -- and for some of them accustomed to that bubble of comfort, I can them being dismayed at the thought of sharing the fruits of their privilege. They will cling to it like grim death!

I think it is mostly mediocre, and inferior white men who most panicked about a cultural shift - because mediocre and inferior white men have the most to lose by being stripped of their privilege. A true meritocracy in America almost certainly dismays and terrifies a mediocre Trump supporter. Depends adult undergarments might even get soiled!

SOme very good points.......

Sadly many are simply oblivious to what was handed to them, the help they received etc......
 
My people are the ones who freed the slaves from your people, the democrat slave masters.

Every American negro should huge and thank a Republican for freeing his people from the democrat owned cotton fields of the south.

You saying someone should thank you?? & you have done what exactly to be thanked for?? Perhaps a participation trophy?? BUT THEN YOU DIDN'T PARTICIPATE.:palm:
 
What a friendly looking bunch of clean cut white guys. I hope they were able to enjoy their parade without it being interrupted by violent, doped up, jobless, racists who wear their pants below their ass cheeks while burning down their own ghettoes.

Funny IMHO they don't look to friendly or happy. Not a smile to be seen. Actually most of them look pretty scared...

@ that flags inception real men carried it to war & eventually to their deaths....... Just as a point of reference........

I might add that those deaths came @ the hands of this & other countries..

trump won't save you, he can't get out of his own way, moreless save himself...:evilnod:
 
He has white supremacists in the WH .. but you wish everyone would stop talking about race.

Question: How many Trump supporters got angry and went after Trump for bringing racists and white supremacists into his administration?

Case closed

yuuup, case closed
Trump 306
Liberal do nothings 220

I love this country
 
It cracks me up, the Russia thing isn't going away, well, maybe the news agencies will quit reporting on it, but the investigation is ongoing. Why are they worried? If Trump and Co. is innocent, then the investigation will discover this!

They have not forgotten, nor will they.......

the dirty has himself painted into a corner.. If he fires=LOSE, if he lets them continue=LOSE..

There is no chaos in the white house, honest, he keeps saying there isn't :dunno:
 
I saw it. I reject it. it's an absurdity that economic nationalism -the very heart of MAGA-
was some how "racism" dressed up as "America first".

It's a side issue much like birtherism was. I know a LOT of Trump supporters, and middle class former Democrats like myself who broke for Trump after watching Obama create jobs but not good paying jobs, and watched manufacturing jobs leave because of foreign low wages/trade agreements don't give a damn about racism. It's not even on my radar..

Trump was out there every day promising better jobs, and keeping good jobs in the USA.
It was a constant theme.. jobs jobs jobs jobs..

This is why a lot of the JPP conservatives have stopped responding to the liberal snowflakes comments.

They just want to throw out anything and hope they can start an argument.

Let them argue among themselves or just give themselves pats on the back, for being so "insightful".

The old adage of "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail", is exhibited everyday by not only the JPP liberal snowflakes; but by liberal snowflakes in general.

I participate by carrying on the selfless traditions that Republicans have always been known for. Without people like me, people like you would have to get a job. Free government stuff doesn't just grow on trees.

The perpetrators of war have carried many different flags from many different countries into many different wars.

Since the history is one of change perhaps you can lay them out?? Perhaps tie that history into today?

& if you have the time, you should find a way to give yourself some cred for what you personally have actually done, which wouldn't take long I'm sure..:D
 
a majority over 32 million? 25 million? It's a ridiculous proposition

Only ridiculous to the blind.

Can you post where you or any Trump supporter took Trump to task for bringing racists and white supremacists into his administration?

Can you do that?

What percentage of Trump supporters on this board are openly racist?

3/4 at least.

I can honestly say that I've never known a Trump supporter to be racist. In fact, this is the first time I've ever heard of the notion. Trump supporters tend to be Republicans and racists tend to be Democrats, just like Hillary Clintons friend and mentor Robert Byrd.
