    For some reason, you are being some combination of obtuse and oblivious.

    I'm guessing cognitive dissonance.

    They are happening more frequently.

    So had Trump lost racists wouldn't be lashing out doing the same thing that's happening now anyway?

    It would probably be more.

    But that's not the point I'm trying to make.

    What i find funny with this election and brexit is that everyone is getting the blame but the media.

    There needs to be a change in the media

    You are acting as if, what is occurring right now in the country and the world at large is satus quo; business as usual.

    It is not.




    E.g

    Your line of questioning attempting to attribute the OBVIOUS rise in recent hate crimes/harassment to "just a normal Saturday afternoon".

    If Trump had lost his minions would be doing the same thing they're doing now, maybe even worse. That's my point. You're arguing for the sake of arguing.

    President Trump wants to attend UFC 205

    Will Donald Trump be at UFC 205? UFC president Dana White told TMZ it's a possibility.

    "Donald originally told me that he would come to the fight if he won," White told TMZ. "I don't think Donald really realized what his duties were gonna be had he won. I think he's meeting with Obama today. I don't know, we'll see."

    "He's the president now," White said. "You know what I expect from him? I expect nothing. He went out there, he did it, he worked hard, he campaigned. He's the president now. He won. I don't expect to be on the phone with him every day or anything like that. I'm happy for him. And hopefully he gets in there and does good things for this country."

    Still, many MMA fighters -- like Donald Cerrone (who fights Saturday), Tim Kennedy, and Chris Weidman -- and fans seem to be Trump supporters. Fans at Thursday's UFC 205 pre-fight press conference were spotted wearing "Make America Great Again" hats and assorted other Trump paraphernalia.

    White said he won't be upset if Trump couldn't make it Saturday night.

    "No pressure to come," White said. "But it wouldn't suck if he came."

    I agree with that.

    But, this is worse than some racists protesting.

    We had that in spades when Obama was elected.



    IMO, the discrimination and vitriolic attitudes that we are seeing now and will continue to see; is far worse and more pervasive throughout American society.

    Trump has intensified it exponentially.

    As a country, we have CONDONED bigoted, xenophobic, chauvinistic, homophobic, and racist behavior and proposed legislation; as well as other discriminatory sentiments towards women, the disabled, veterans, Mexicans, Blacks and many more groups of people ...

    All at the hands of our President Elect.

    The Leader of our country.



    It is disgusting and it is something that deeply affects our children, appalls other world leaders, and ignites a spirit of division and hate among the people of this country.



    And before you say it - no, the Divided States of America ... is not a "good thing".

    Having our children hating each other is not a "good thing".

    Destroying relationships among our allies in the world is not a "good thing".


    It is not good for America or Black people.

    Trump did like 300 things wrong any of those things would have made most unelectable. We went from Obama.. where these cacs scoured the ends of the earth to sully his name and make him undesirable.. to.. Trump his rapsheet of fuckery is long as the constitution..

    His treasonous leadership in the birther movement would have had his ? head cut off in another space yet hes president..

    from character to caricature

    Trump aint going anywhere unless he gets assassinated. He's going to win the hearts of Americans over the next 6 months. And although I don't think he'll choose to run for re-election in 2020, I do think he'll do a decent job as president. There will be another recession under him and he will be tested with foreign policy which should prove to be classic comedic gold. He's going to be incredibly tough on immigration which is ? up....

    Let this be a lesson tho to these muthafuckas who didn't want to vote and actually believed Hillary and Trump were the "same".

    Funny how we're saying the democrats need to re-strategise when it was the Republicans just a few months ago. Imo it's not the democrats, it's people and millennials who didn't want to go out and vote.
    Nah..

    You are buggin right now. He has a Republican Congress and they are gonna push some of the heaviest cuts in social safety nets,education,he about to end the EPA and FDA, he is about to put Guiliani as Attorney General which means stop and frisk nationwide and he will gut the voting rights act even further. The country is heavily divided and wait until the next killer cops gets off and there is riots with Sheriff ? Clarke as Homeland Security chief. ? is about to get real.

    Disagree completely bruh...

    Democrats were so arrogant it was disgusting...

    -they pushed the quintessential establishment candidate when the current govt (except obama personally...not professionally) was historically unpopular...

    -they watched as a reality tv star absolutely WASTED extremely successful governors, senators, and dignitaries...and STILL pushed that candidate

    -oh yeah while seeing a charismatic anti-establishment candidate in their party rise and gain the most enthusiasm since 08 obama...they actively and OPENLY tried to suppress his support

    -got dominated on tv and internet time by the opponent...something that you can never give up...especially to one who will say anything...trump essentially played the lottery over and over again...won occasionally and the casino didnt try to make it harder

    -arrogantly didnt offer solutions in policing and income inequality to black voters and assumed all hispanic voters cared about was immigration , etc..."oh we have them in the bag"

    -didnt campaign heavy in states that democrats should never lose but your opponent was actively going after...they didnt "protect the rim"

    -foolishly had celebrities actively campaign for them...nobody gives a ? about a millionaire entertainer trying to tell you what your problems are (which is ironic considering the opponent)

    -lost to donald trump

    I wouldn't say he @Sion is bugging because he was one of the few that said Trump would win presidential election in this exact thread.

    I said Trump would win only if Hillary Clinton played into his circus but I was caping for Hillary to win. I don't even think she played into it she just didn't campaign.

    *She just didn't campaign in the swing states and smaller states

    Didn't matter

    The white man was gon make sure he won even if thouhg he still didn't get more votes.

    these people are ? AMERICAN they don't want to turn AMERICA Sweden but LIBERALS ARE NOT LISTENING BECAUSE they were winning the culture war for a long time but now the the other side has started to fight back. This ? is culture war
