Why? They, the media filled the frenzy of Trump and those who support him, giving Trump way to much coverage. I can't feel sorry for those who wants to destroy our democracy and political system. I know it is not always fair, but the rhetoric and hate coming from Trump & his followers is deplorable. I wonder if we had rebelled against the outcome of the 2000 election, what the right wing would have felt sorry for those wanted Al Gore to win? I don't think so!

(30,058 posts)This guy wants everyone to place $2000 a year in an account to cover their medical issues throughout their lives. Where in the hell does he expect a person on minimun wage to get this moneyb and he doesn't even want minimum wages. He is a business man without a plan to be president.

As far as the Yam and his cabal of racists goes, I will NOT feel their pain...I will FEED it. Snide comments everyday. Loud statements wondering how Hillary will perform in her first 100 days...big announcements for every cabinet position...overt pining for liberal justices and speculation on when Clarence Thomas will die to join Scalia in hell....
I am planning a huge election night party to spill into the early Wednesday morning hours...complete with flags, yard signs, neon lights and more...and that is solely to rub the noses of my fascist red-state moron neighbors in it all night long.
I am going to not only spike the football, I am going to endzone dance until I pass out...in fact, there is actual video footage of what I have planned:

(45 posts)Trump thinks the President is a dictator. He talks like Hillary alone should have fixed the tax code and carried interest during the debate.
But the biggest thing about Trump is if more people watch this video and share it on Twitter and Facebook and get friends to retweet and share this, Trump would be losing by 20%: ?t=1m38s

(24,692 posts)to which people in genuine economic pain gravitate to Trump is directly related to the racism, sexism, homophobia and hatred in their hearts.
OTOH, people in genuine economic pain who have little racism, sexism, homophobia and hatred in their hearts gravitate to Hillary and other Democrats.

(7,947 posts)Including empathy. Feel bad for me, but not the other side. Everyone can justify and rationalize anything they want. Everybody does that. Whoever is on the other side is usually considered to be just bad enough, that it's not worth the effort. People usually end up being lumped into the extreme of whatever side they happen to be on, because it's easier to demonize whoever the other side is that way. Then nobody has to listen to anyone, because then you might agree with people on the other side about something, and they're bad, but of course you're not bad, so you can't do that.
That seems to be the reality of being human. We're all guilty of it to some degree.

(20,889 posts)Instead of getting angry at the politicians that continue to screw them each time they double down on a more horrible option and wonder why it doesn't work. They're angry about mythical things Obama did, a mythical liberal power structures that don't exist, mythical enemies that aren't out there, and mythical solutions that aren't being offered.
Their pain is completely imaginary. I can't feel it because I don't believe in the myth. This isn't to say REAL things aren't affecting these people, but those real things these people have been taught to ignore, or celebrate.
