Oh, also, the GOP went to war against the Pentagon, yes that Pentagon, over their directive to take climate change as the greatest (I think this is correct, I'd have to double check) threat to national security. Furthermore, this wasn't something the Pentagon, yes that Pentagon, started believing under President Obama.

You're grasping at straws here. You guys lost, next!

One prediction I am confident about is that Trump will constantly misrepresent the bills that he signs into law. He doesn't give a **** about policy details, he's a big picture guy. For example, congress is going to send him a tax plan that slashes taxes for the rich massively, and Trump will claim it's a tax break for the middle class, guaranteed.

It must make you angry that there are words you don't understand the meaning of, you should definitely join the Deportation Force and put a boot to the face of all these eggheads talking over your head. Trump needs fine, brave, strapping young bucks like you! Sign up. Don't forget.

Absolutely just stole the union vote. I went to Flint to see it myself Tuesday.

Neighborhoods that previously would get there windows broken for having Republican signs in the yard had TRUMP/Pence in them. I stopped to get fuel, and spotted an older African American male driving a rusted out GM car covered in the same stuff. I asked him "isn't this the wrong neighborhood for TRUMP, isn't this Hillary country"? He shouted back "**** THAT BITCH AND **** THE DEMOCRATS" so fast and fierce I thought I was gonna get shanked and robbed on the spot.

My father in-law (retired auto worker) tipped me off to it. I had to see it for myself. It was amazing.

Genesee County 2012
Obama 127k
RMoney 71k

2016
HILL 102k
TRUMP 81k

A significant portion protested by not voting. Another portion actually crossed lines.

If TRUMP delivers ARRA style funds to Genesee/Wayne Counties, Michigan may not go back Blue for a long time.

I tried to post about it in the other thread that I thought the polls were wrong in MI when the Union father in-law first said something a week or so ago.

There's so much wanting it to be one way when it's so clearly the other way.

Paris, dead
Obamacare, dead
Alaska, drill baby drill


Unrest meet unrest, violent riots will be met with overwhelming force. You people have **** on your last cop car. You lost, everything. All of your billy clubs are belong to us.


It's a ****ing mandate

Two things:
1. Not sure 8% swing towards Trump from 2012 supports a statement as strong as "stole the union vote", but okay, point taken, he did better in the Flint area.
2. The point I was trying to make was, how much of this is support of Trump specifically versus support of the GOP?

Like, regarding the parties themselves, does nobody remember Obama bailing out the auto industry? Do they remember Mitt ****ing Romney writing an op-ed called Let Detroit Go Bankrupt in the New York Times in 2008 and continuing to campaign against the auto bailout in 2012?

So, I get it, the working class loves TRUMP because he promises them he's gonna give them all jobs and make them great again, nevermind that they only have jobs right now because of Barack Obama.

...but why does that make you, or seattlelou, or BoredSocial, or anyone think at this early juncture that it will translate to a broad coup for the GOP (not just Trump, but the party at large) of union voters for decades down the road?

What's the feeling on the Iran deal over there nowadays?

You guys gonna plunge us into ww3 tearing that up next year or can we at least take comfort knowing most of the damage will just be you shooting yourself in the foot getting rid of healthcare and forgetting about fiscal responsibility all of a sudden going on a spending tear whilst slashing taxes?

The "union" guys don't vote Trump cause there isn't a union anymore. Union membership in the private sector is very low. They are mostly government employee now, and I could see some attempts to reign them in soon.

Trump already hatching plans to STICK IT to those uppity costal libs!

Trump’s Transition Team Pledges to Dismantle Dodd-Frank Act

The next four years are going to be the greatest bait-and-switch job the world has ever seen. Pander to the Rust Belt and then deliver for Wall St.

I understand that there aren't a lot of Trump supporters here and they are maybe taunting and gloating just to spite, but their comments are truly identical to the ones we get in Israel after the right wing wins an election. Pepole are the same everywhere I suppose. The path is irreversable.

I just really hope that "Jew" can pass as white in Trump's America or I'm in deep ****ing trouble

And I know, I know, you're one of those bull**** people who thinks and communicates primarily through bull****, when you say "It's a mandate" you are neither lying nor telling the truth, but I'm telling you now: You'll enjoy it more if you just post "**** you, libtards". All this bull**** is like kissing your sister.

As far as the Iran deal, strong lean DEAD, but not a done deal, like Obamacare.

Interesting, I hadn't heard. You guys aren't holding onto that like guns and religion or anything.


As far as the mandate, let's just wait and see if it plays out like a mandate, or how you want it to play out. (It's the other way)

The DNC expected the Union to vote support them. The Union did, to an extreme level, throughout the Rust Belt. The Rust Belt crumbled, in the eyes of a lot of Union voters, as a result of NAFTA. The DNC offered very little to the Union (sure Obama bailed out the auto industry, but to the rank and file it didn't do anything/wasn't enough). Something, somehow, for some reason, they finally decided to vote against the DNC. My in-laws have NEVER voted anything but straight BLUE. My jaw dropped when he told me he was voting for TRUMP.

TRUMP/GOP comes in with MAGA money, cleans the place up, gives people jobs, they will be bought and paid for.

The other thing in play in '16 in the Rust Belt was the term "Deplorable". There's quite a few blue collar normal BLUE voters that were offended by that, and will be for quite some time. It became the rallying call of the blue collar middle/lower middle class, regardless of race/political affiliation. They turned it in to a badge of honor.

Simply amazing.

The DNC doesn't come up win that class of voter back, the Rust Belt may stay RED for a long time.

I mean, we articulate opinions - usually with logic to back them up too - which is kind of a tradition in this forum to achieve actual discussion? And you're really, really bad at doing that.

I'm not mocking you. I am literally telling you to SIGN UP TODAY. Your physical body is a better asset than your incredible lack of skill on the keyboard. Use it. Join team Trump. Not like this, like that.

Some of them can. Some of them can't. This is America. There will be blood. That's what they voted for, that's how they are celebrating. And that's how they'll act. And they will laugh at the body count, they had it coming.
