GentlemanJonMillions of people are rioting and believe that? This seems like it might be a rather unrealistic distortion on your part don't you think? If there were millions of rioters there wouldn't be much of most US cities left to worry about.
Yeah perhaps I worded that poorly. There haven't been millions rioting, but there are for sure significant numbers of democrats who legitimately believe that Trump is a fascist and anybody who supports him must be a racist homophobe. Which obviously isn't true.

mustardoverlordEmilioEstevezCitricThe point is that Trump being elected both validates and normalizes the hateful rhetoric he used during his campaign as "acceptable". This is one of the most disheartening parts of his success, and while surely some of these stories are false, the ones that are real are proof of this effect.
Only because the liberal media spent the last 6 months painting him as the second coming of Hitler. There are millions of melodramatic liberals in America who really think Trump is about to send right wing death squads to exterminate them.
For example heres a screengrab of how The Daily Show covered Trump supporters on the very night of the election

Your post is literally bereft of logic. The liberal media painting Trump as the second coming of Hitler is the reason why some Trump supporters really are white supremacists? So either a) they were sitting around doing nothing, turned on CNN (lol already) and heard that Trump was a Nazi, and decided they wanted to back him without ever hearing him talk, or b) these racists have nothing to do with Trump, it's completely coincidental that they're popping up the day after election day, and the media is just pretending they're connected?
No I was saying they cherry picked the most fringe and obnoxious elements of his support and promoted them front and center as if they are at all representative of half of the population of the country. They started with a narrative that demonized Trump and anybody who disagreed with them and went looking for anything they could find to make it look like it was true.
Trump won democratic states. States that voted for Obama. These people arent racist, misogynistic facists clamouring for a dictatorship, but if you get your information from places like The Daily Show or MSNBC or CNN you would believe that they are. Now you have millions of salty democrats who are rioting because they legitimately believe Trump wants them all rounded up and gassed and that anybody who voted for Trump must be some goose stepping monster.
Shouting racist and calling people deplorable also isn't a very convincing argument if you want their votes. Try listening to the issues they care about and debating them seriously rather than name calling, people might actually be convinced.

Wow Hillary looked tired during her concession speech. I imagine she'll probably be wanting to retire somewhere abroad and just get away from it all soon.

whymeoReading through this thread seeing all the Trump supporters trying to say it had nothing to do with race when the only major demographic trump did well with was white people.
The fact that Clinton was the establishment candidate and racism can both play a role. It doesn't just have to be one thing.
But Hillary is white too @_@

eeeconsidering universal healthcare, gay rights, and environmentalism were things Clinton supported in the 90s and wanted to work towards anyway yeah I think she'dve stuck. Just because she was more conservative and nuanced in her goals for her term didn't mean she wasn't progressive

MenachemI'm sorry, did you watch different debates than I did? When did Trump ever make a half-reasonable attempt to discuss policy and social issues? All I heard him do was stammer "wrong" over and over again, occasionally mumbling something about crooked Hillary or the liberal media.
Trumps whole campaign was built on the back of social issues. He correctly identified what large portions of the population were concerned about and told them he was their guy.
He's the guy who was saying he was against the kind of trade deals that had made their jobs unprofitable to keep in the USA, he was the guy saying he would put tarriffs on Fords cars if they moved their plants to Mexico, he was the guy who was saying that unlimited illegal immigration was putting downward pressure on their standard of living. The Democratic reply to those issues was either 'tough shit' or to call people racist morons for daring to question the sacred cows of neo-liberalism. They also nominated the most globalist neo-liberal candidate they could find, which is hardly going to go down well with people who think those kinds of policies are what has ruined their lives in the first place.

MenachemLet's all spend the next 4 years masturbating to Alex Jones so we can ignore or justify the stupid shit that we've opened up to happen to the people around us.
You know Hillary lost states that Obama won. Millions of people who voted for Obama (i.e. probably not cross burning KKK members) preferred Trump over Clinton.
The fact that Democrats so easily chacterized anybody who has a slightly different political opinion or perspective than them as some Neo Nazi Infowars bigot, instead of providing convincing reasons as to why your side has better solutions to their problems, is why nobody was convinced by the Democratic sides arguments.
