2016 USA Presidential election thread II: And. Here. We. Go!

[NynJa]

I'm telling you not everyone's a hero or even thinking they're going outside to witness heroism/villainy. Shit happens. Sometimes it's witnessed. Sometimes it isn't. Very little is actually recorded. Even if it is, there's no guarantee it jumps to social media and further goes viral.

Doubting stories is fine, but don't pretend nothing happens because it's not meeting your personal criteria of evidence.

I never said im doubting its happening? I said im a little skeptical of the claims that its happening "all over america".

Im pretty sure ive seen posts shared on facebook of some 7 year old kid getting bullied by a "racist white classmate", and people are eating that shit up. 7 years old!! At 7 theyre still all "santa is real" and dont even know the meaning of hate. Are the parents saying something like:
"Cmere lil jimmy, papa got a message from Santa for you. He told me to tell you that if you want an xbox one for christmas, you need to call all the mexicans in your class to get out of your america".

You know what? Writing that shit out, it actually sounds believable haha. I can see some diehard racist telling their kid that. Which now begs the question: where the hell is the teacher?

[Twilight Sky]

Gotta give it to Trump, he brought out a lot of otherwise hidden nastiness in people.

Now question is, who's going to rise up and keep everyone in check? Because it wont be Trump.

Kids will mimic their parent at that age, for sure. And it goes even past that. I mentioned watching over my niece and nephew's FB feed before and their anti-Obama rhetoric is pretty much verbatim for what my sister says when I begrudgingly have to be around her. I know it's been a while since I was 15/16, but the intricacies of politics weren't on my radar. That means stuff like, "Obama got nothing done!" is rarely followed up with, "...but the republicans obstructed him on every corner." and important details that followed. Instead, they're more taken by what their folks tell them (to think) and snappy memes they chance upon. I shit you not, my nephew had one up the other day with some guy hugging an AR captioned "The mean lady isn't coming to you away!" in reference to Hillary's loss and the perennial threat of dems stealing all our guns.

As for where the teachers are, well, stuff like this only needs a moment to transpire. Sometimes they get called out of the room. Maybe it's recess/lunch. Could be in the hall/bathroom with other kids unknowingly shielding. If you figure one set of eyes needs to watch 30+ kids in a single class, they're just not going to catch everything.

So this exists. Why wasn't the real debate like this?

[FNH]

We learned the secret to trump on Election Day. Just make sure to have him stay up until 3am before he makes big decisions. He's much more docile then.

I know no one in this thread will believe me but Trump didn't run on hate. The media just told you that repeatedly. I wonder how many of you ever even listened to one of his rally speeches? Anyone? The closest he got to "hate" was talking about the wall and stricter immigration laws. When he talks about deporting he means criminal, illegal immigrants.

I feel like I"m beating a dead horse but this is actually really concerning, you have half the nation thinking he campaigned on all this awful stuff out in the streets, we have people in this thread hoping they see a bit of violence, you have the media fanning the flames with fake ass protesters. Where is our president? Where are the calls from media/hillary for people to chill out a notch and accept the election results? People have a right to protest but some of these are getting dangerously close to riot level. Not to mention the reason these people are so upset is because for months media was telling them she literally had a 95% chance of winning.

If this was the other way around, these people would be called savages and every -ist you could come up with.

Nah:

Sanders / Booker

Booker / Gabbard x2

Sanders will only do one term, Booker can absolutely take over with his speaking ability and merits, and Gabbard is still quite young (she's 35 now) so she's got time.

Since she's (Gabbard) been mentioned a few times, I looked her up and noticed she was born in American Samoa. Wouldn't that make her a US national at worst and a non natural-born citizen at best? Meaning, she would not be eligible for the presidency and even if somehow she managed to get up there, if the birther 'scandal' was an issue for President Obama, I can only imagine the shitstorm that would follow her around.

No waifu for you, America.

[kuronosan]

What? Did you even watch the debates? The media can't spin something he said on LIVE TELEVISION.

[Day]

What did he say on live TV that was so hateful?

[tyven]

"i hate the coloreds"

[Cjskater]

"Build A Wall" REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Somebody mentioned moving to Australia awhile back and I remember responding to Krandor with a nytimes link or something. I should've just posted this:

[Day]

lmao

but for real, probably his worst comment was "nasty woman"

the actions of the left before and after the election are showing more hate than he ever did

[Day]

got me defending donald trump in 2016 i fucking hate you guys

[Krandor]

It's only a vast media smear/conspiracy when its aimed at Hillary you silly goose.

[kuronosan]

Yea holy shit I seriously reiterate my previous comment. This board has really flipped the script.

Sorry, I couldn't find anything where he outright says "hate" but rather he heavily implies it.

All hail Donald Trump. It must have just been media collusion with the DNC and not people getting beaten down in the streets.

[Day]

The only people Ive seen getting beat down in the streets were Trump supporters, hate to go back to the "video" but I have 16 min of Trump supporters getting abused and I'm pretty sure if there were one of the reverse it would be blasted on TV for weeks 24 hours a day.

Ah just like van jones said election night, "exactly what trump said does not matter- only how hypersensitive children interpret statements through their warped worldview"




also OH SHIT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS BAR FILLS UP?? MADAMME PRESIDENT I"M SORRY

[Day]

he trollin

[kuronosan]

I'm not a child, but I do know hateful speech when I hear it. Trump supporters shouldn't be beaten either.
