The Future President, Donald Trump

This article explains it pretty thoroughly and accurately, IMO. It's longish. I excerpted one pertinent passage, but the whole read is enlightening for anyone who has trouble connecting the rise of Trump with Barack Obama:

For millions of white Americans who weren’t attuned to growing diversity and cosmopolitanism, Obama was a shock, a figure who appeared out of nowhere to dominate the country’s political life. And with talk of an “emerging Democratic majority,” he presaged a time when their votes—which had elected George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, and Ronald Reagan—would no longer matter. More than simply “change,” Obama’s election felt like an inversion. When coupled with the broad decline in incomes and living standards caused by the Great Recession, it seemed to signal the end of a hierarchy that had always placed white Americans at the top, delivering status even when it couldn’t give material benefits.

Hey, I clash with Lash (hey! I rhymed!) on stuff too, but when she's right, she's right. The assertion that Trump's rise is largely a backlash/revenge for 8 years of the Blackenstein monster Obama is spot on.

If that is what she meant, I agree which is why I posted that article from politico in which Obama said the same, however, I wasn't sure what she meant so I asked her to elaborate.

Why as for the most part they are old men who if they raised their heads will have half the FBI and the DOJ on their asses.

Maybe he won because I voted for him.......

PS I did voted for Hillary against Obama and would had prefer to see her run for president instead of Obama but between Obama and John McCain there was no question about voting for Obama.

Well, you know what they say about a broken clock being right twice a day...

Far more millions of white Americans voted for the man not once but twice so how shocking could it be 7 years after he became president?

Footnote the congress was not under Obama party control for most of that period also, so where did this fear came from?

This is what I think. I've heard too many ridiculous, unfounded statements from too many people.

All of us, including you, make opinion statements.

Sure, your one vote made all the difference. ROFLMAO

Sure my one vote and the millions of other so call racist whites who voted for him.

As after all old white guys are racists fearing blacks taking over or that even worst think that white cops have a right to defend themselves from hoodlums who happen to have black skin such as Brown.

BillRM;

Interesting, to say the least. LOL

Yes it is interesting that your and other anti white racists view of the white population had been shown to be bullshit time after time.

For myself I love that Obama get to live in the same building and hold the same office of president as the slaveholder Jefferson first move into with his black mistress.

Please cut and paste from any of my posts on ?

My three old XP 32 bit computers do not have enough memory to cut and past that amount of text.......LOL

I guess that's a god send. LOL

Police consider charging Trump with inciting a riot over violence at North Carolina rally

Source: Raw Story, Fayetteville Observer, NBC

The Cumberland County Sheriff’s office is considering filing charges of inciting a riot against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for the Fayetteville, North Carolina rally according to an NBC reporter and local media sources. The rally was the site where Trump supporter John Franklin McGraw was arrested for sucker-punching a black protester and threatening to kill him.

“We are looking at the totality of these circumstances, including any additional charges against Mr. McGraw, including the potential of whether there was conduct on the part of Mr. Trump or the Trump campaign which rose to the level of inciting a riot,” Sheriff’s Office lawyer Ronnie Mitchell told The Fayetteville Observer.

At the rally, Trump asked the audience “Can’t we have a little more action than this?” when protesters were causing a disturbance. “See, in the good old days this didn’t use to happen, because they used to treat them very rough,” he said. “We’ve become very weak.”


Monday, Trump insisted that his rallies are a “love fest” and that there is no violence, yet a militia has been formed to “protect” rally attendees from what it calls “far-left agitators.”

Typical right-wing authoritarian behavior (both followers and leaders) is to compartmentalize thinking and ignore evidence that conflicts with positions that they have an emotional stake in.

Hair DrumpFührer knows very little about most things, including the consequences of his words and actions, foreign policy, domestic economy, running a government and how it differs from running a business.

But he is an entertainer and knows how to make a lot of empty statements with highly loaded emotional content to fire up his RWA followers.

He lies and lies and lies and lies....... You get the picture. Unfortunately for the republicans, he's the front runner. Just shows there are many like him in this country. Kinda sad.
