[Mr. Roboto]

I've asked this question before, but don't remember if I got an answer. I understand that people in the rust belt want their jobs back, but do they sincerely believe Trump can do that? IMO these jobs are long gone, and will never return. Everybody stands up there and makes this promise, but it never comes to fruition. How in the world then could Trump magically do this?

Repeal or modify trade agreements and add tariffs to imports?

McConnell said they are going to repeal the ACA immediately next year. They must be giddy over this.

I can't  find it, so I'm guessing no one has compiled this yet, but I'd be willing to bet $5 that Democrats also won the most votes across all House elections.  The GOP gerrymandered the shit out of the House back in 2010 and has gotten an undue reward ever since.  They only won 52% in 2014 and the Dems picked up seats this time...I suppose we'll see when the numbers are compiled.

1+ Million more votes in 2012 and still the minority Talk about rigged.

They know it's rigged...they're the ones rigging it!  I'd laugh if it weren't so sad.  Voter ID laws to keep minorities and the poor from voting.  Gerrymandering to win a house with fewer votes.  I suppose you can't blame the electoral college on them, at least.

Sorry to say, but there have also been multiple anti-Muslim attacks as well.

I fear this will go poorly.

You do realize this poor old man is in a hospital with brain injuries?

 

These thugs were unhappy with the election results, so they use that as an excuse to commit violence and steal his car and cellphone. It's indefensible behavior. It is disturbing that someone charged with educating others about the political process, as you have stated many times on this message board, would make such a flippant comment when confronted with absolute barbarism.

That's terrible. I certainly hope they catch those criminals and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Revolting behavior. Although I doubt this was politically motivated. These are just ghetto shits beating and robbing some poor guy in the street. Trump T shirt or bumper sticker was secondary I'd guess.

 

 Sadly there are no shortage of these videos on youtube (swarms of black teens viciously beating on one victim, often times after they are on the ground.)
