For all the bluster about change, he was really only a cult of personality candidate; once he was out, people lost interest, voted for Trump or voted for a third party candidate. Clinton got the crap end of the stick, was scrutinized unfairly, more than Trump was, and Sanders didn't rally his people behind her quick enough. The low voter turnout was awful for her too, and I think that in general it was the Sanders delusion that caused so much trouble. People don't care about policies, they care about the person, Sanders talked a big game, but never had any substance, Clinton did her homework and was qualified, but failed to reach her goal because of Sanders, electoral college and her gender. It's sad to say, but the idea of 'people power' only goes so far once you remove the personality in front of the ideology. It's the paradox of the political system, it's all flash, and any substance is lost to those blinded by it.

Your embarrassment at seeing such comparisons is part of the reason why he was elected. Trump is a dangerous dangerous man. If he does even half of the things he campaigned on, then the world will be on fire when he leaves office

Trump is an out and out racist (I don't mean curbing immigration-calling Mexican's rapists and saying a judge was inappropriate because he was of Mexican heritage as a quick example). You have to wonder at the people supporting him. No one said all white men supported Trump so your claims of racism and sexism against white men is entirely unfounded. It seems Trump supporters want to receive respect without ever being respectful of others. Trump collapsed this campaign into the mud early on and his supporters cheered him for it. The minute someone points out his massive flaws they cry that they aren't respected enough. This thread shows the liberals have the tougher skin and are less likely to go for the pc police (I guess respect police for the right wing since they sub in respect for pc).

Ehh… You do realise that Americans make up something like 10% of people on the planet, yet Americans make up one quarter of all prisoners on the planet? Yep, 1 in 4 of all people in gaol on Earth is in an American gaol. If any nation on Earth could be called a "prison state", the US of A would be. And that's before we get to the well dodgy demographics of their prison population, never mind the private prisons making profits from free labour. Interestingly the first great US prison boom came in the south, in the wake of their civil war and freeing of the southern slaves and again the demographics were oddly skewed in favour of darker folks arrested on trumped up charges like loitering, vagrancy and being in charge of brown skin, curly hair and big lips in a built up area. So yeah, great idea, lock more of their citizens up. Jesus Christ.

They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people,

Did you actually read this thread yet for example Trump voters have been called idiots, braindead, c*nts Described as white males whining about losing their entitlement Described as sexists who simply wouldnt vote for a woman And the fact that the voter breakout doesnt actually support that just goes whiosh over peoples heads Two candidates polarisedAmerica here, not one. Bith sides have been well able to hit below the belt when it suited

Christy42 wrote: » It is horrific. Unsure about racism as it is about politics but since they probably wouldn't beat up a black man for voting Trump it is indeed racist and very certainly horrific. However "this is what real Racism is"? Where was all the fake racism? Anything that happens against black people? Calling Mexicans rapists was obviously fake racism right. You had a good point but fell into the same trap plenty on the looney left do. Just because there is racism vs. White people is no reason to deny racism against others. All things told if I was in the states I would definitely rather be a white straight male than anything else.
