Hey Deplorables, Want to Know What Else You Are?

The alt-right again?

Well at least the kneejerk left has stopped calling us neocons.

I am a conservative not an alt-righter.

Seriously, do you know what he means by "alt-right"? "Alt" is not a word or at least I can't find it.

Actually I don't see myself as an especially deplorable person, though I have decided that coming from Hillary that is actually a compliment.

And if seeing the problems we have as a nation and wanting them addressed is being negative, I suppose I'm guilty as charged. And I wish everybody would be negative in that regard.

Dark? Nope. I think I am pretty much a positive person and have a pretty upbeat disposition.

Divisive? Only if disagreeing with most progressive policy and intent or refusing to accept what I see as an unacceptable status quo is divisive.

Dangerous? I don't know anybody who is afraid of me.

When I see people making anti-Semitic remarks , using the N* word, verbally attacking Hispanics, and then saying "Go Trump', they are deplorable. Of course, they would be deplorable even if they didn't say 'Go Trump'.

Uh, what planet are you on? The GOP has done nothing but obstruct Obama every step of the way, since McConnell declared they would in February 2009.

And thanks for proving you are, indeed, racist with the bolded comment above.

Were they successful?

If so, name a couple of Obama's ideas the RINO's successfully stopped.

BTW, I did notice how masterfully you switched the dates from 2014 to 2009. Cute.

As far as racism, those who call Obama "the first black president" are racists, too?

At least I was more accurate as far as color goes.

Because she had no case. She a nuisance and ought to be locked up for a couple weeks. Read about her continual attempt to pursue this non-case.

Jobs bill, Lily Ledbetter Act, SCOTUS nominee, Embassy security funding (so they could blame Hillary), oh hell....here's 500:

The judge was willing to let it go forward for trial readiness, but sure, "she had no case". She had depositions, testimony from herself and a witness, and the presence of an already-registered sex offender.

And Trump has said he grabs ******s, while numerous women have confirmed that Trump, indeed, grabs ******s. Sounds like a real reach, right? (pun intended)

OK, so now I know. Thanks.

Now, can you name names? Who are those mysterious "alt-right-ers"?

Holy hell. Are you going to ask me to hold your hand and wipe your nose next?
The low information voters form the core of the alt right support. Look at your facebook friends and consider those around you that promote what you believe.

Then you can check into:
Robert Mercer: the funding arm of the alt right.

Steve Bannon
James O'Keefe
Alex Jones
Milo Yiannopoulos
Mike Cernovich
James Edwards
Peter Brimelow

The writers and readers of Breitbart

People who write for and read the Daily Stormer

etc. etc.
(This is not an exhaustive list, but it should give you the head start you need if you truly want to educate yourself)

Now that you have a representative sampling... what exactly will you do with the info? Have you made it that far yet?

Excellent link! :thumbs: This confirms what I saw this morning, demographic-wise. Last evening, my neighbor was giving me her reasons why they were voting for Trump, which totally shocked me since they have been lifelong Dems, and we have never discussed politics in all the years I have known them, and she brought it up! They're both in their mid 50s, and both hold advanced college degrees - his is a Doctorate, hers is a Masters, so they sure don't fit the "ignorant, trailer-dwelling redneck type" that the MSM likes to paint them as being.

Basically what she was saying is that they are willing to give Trump a chance, since he is not a politician, and the status quo has got to change now, or they fear that America will fail, like the few dozen other major civilizations have over thousands of years in our planet's past. Hmmmm.... She sure gave me things to ponder, and time will tell if they're right in what they see in our future.... :wow: :afraid:

I hope next time you will do better citing what the RINO's opposed.

What matters is only the existential stuff: manufacturing jobs, immigration and deficit spending. The rest is bs.

On those three critical issues, there is no difference between your two fake parties.

BTW, government cannot create jobs as, to a sane person, "jobs" mean wealth creating jobs - agriculture, mining and manufacturing.

They can only hire more parasites - aka government employees.

Wrong thread for this, and not going to dig up all the details again, but I think you are generalizing and taking what he said out of context, if not quoting him wrong as well. What he said then, does not mean he did it here. You would fail in court if you walked in with that. Clearly you are not an attorney.

I was just curious who those nefariuos characters are. Now I know.

BTW, did it ever occur to you that the alt-right men you just listed can simply be patriots?

Yeah Trump has never been insulting towards groups of people or individuals. lol

Funny how Trump's supporters love Trumps no nonsense style and tell it like it is in your face rhetoric, but don't like it when the other side calls them out. I've said since day 1 Trump was nothing but a thin skinned coward. Seems that some of his supporters might be the same.

Trump insulted illegal aliens and muslim refugees from countries that cut off hands and heads.

Good for him

I assume it means the alternative right

Alternative to what?

Whatever.

Somehow, I developed this pavlovian connection that when I read "right" I think "patriot".

When I read "left" I think "a commie". Or, at least, a touchy-feely idiot.

I wonder why.

That kind of thing always made me suspicious about what I gathered has been the foundation of polling methodology.
They ask questions of a few thousand people out of 150 million, drop their answers into demographic group buckets, allow for some variables, weigh the answers applying the demographic group buckets to the population at large and voila!
Now I can see how maybe all things being equal & traditional over time that could be fine-tuned and provided they keep up with demographic group leanings they may get some decent results.
The question is, have they been able to adapt to the different non-traditional ballgame this time.
Do they know enough yet.
Out of a couple of thousand participants, how many would have to answer a certain way before the polling outfit concludes it's a new wrinkle ... that assumes they're even asking questions that would elicit such answers.

How many do you think are doing that to make Trump look bad? We have actually caught them doing that at a Trump rally here. There are no depths that some are not willing to sink to smear or defame or discredit somebody they oppose. And that, in my opinion, is far far worse than the occasional inappropriate politically incorrect.

I just heard on TV that Ohio's results will probably not be known until 01:30 or 02:00 tomorrow morning. Apparently Cuyahoga County, which is big, will be hand-counting the ballots for some reason - no explanation was given. Do you know WTH is going on?

I live in a small town, so I was surprised to see so many people out so early! Oddly, there were no "millennials" there - just a lot of us older folks. Either they were still sleeping and will go later, or they're going to sit this election out, since most businesses here give their employees a few hours off to vote.

Good luck on the firewood - it's true it warms you twice, right? Ugh! :lamo

I've heard a couple of reports today that millennials seem to be sitting this one out.

Yeah. They are probably working. It's mostly retirees and the unemployed at the polls up to this point (which of course favors Trump). The young tend to vote later in the evening.
