The Invincible Thread

man.. who knew white americans were THAT angry.. I mean, we all knew they weren't too happy and you had certain ignorant facets that seemed way too motivated..

but who knew to this degree

I got the high white turnout, plus white women somehow supporting trump in spite of everything he did and said as reason numero 1 he carried it

then I got the low voter turnout plus Hillary being a bad candidate as reason 2

but americans really need to be more concerned that Russia blatantly just got heavily involved with the election and will seemingly face zero ramifications..

china about to do work.. or I should say more work

it was mostly the uneducated and disenfranchised whites voting for Trump, who are essentially the true 'American people'.. 

he also was able to win over a lot of college educated white women, and liberal whites as well.

There were plenty occasions where I would be on campus and hear white girls saying stuff like: "Well I don't care that Trump assaults and degrades women, at least he's not a criminal!" 

CNN polled that 23% of American's who voted, voted with anger.. can't expect people to make well thought, conscious decisions based off emotions.

people keep saying, "don't worry, he's all talk and it's going to be another 4 years of nothing getting done in Washington". while i don't even agree with that sentiment, that's not even the point. it's the fact that 60M people thought, "this man can lead our country". how sway?

everyone can poke fun at NFL players or owners voting trump. that's not the issue. it's that the group of americans that actually represent the true american people voted this guy into office. shame, man.

any 'non-white male' is going to face a struggle when it comes to the presidency.. you cant run a poor candidate and expect them to be able to pull it off, which Hillary was

Obama was a transcendent candidate.. Bernie would have always faced issues because he's jewish (which would have played a huge role in the general)

biden is the one who really screwed all of this

Yeah, good luck trying to keep politics out of this thread after what just took place. It hasn't even been 24 hours. This affects everything.

...

On a NFL related note though…yesterday's data that came with these results dramatically altered my view of the declining football ratings.

I thought all the salty 'Murica people (the so called "silent majority") were exaggerating the effect of their boycotting games over the anthem protests. Well, that changed for me. Today my thinking is I completely underestimated how many of them weren't frontin' for social media and actually went through with it.

Let's not kid ourselves either...the terrible product the NFL puts out on a weekly basis made their transition to other things that would occupy that time a bit easier.

I still do NOT think it's the #1 reason, and there's other legitimate factors to account for. But it's abundantly clear by now that the culture of football, the fans involved, their families, the league office, ownership, and management all lean strongly towards the conservative side of the isle. Those boycotts were real.

it was the people getting their panties in a bunch about kaep and other players not standing for the national anthem types.. the shut up and play football dudes

like mrs carpenter

I was going to make a post saying the exact same thing. Thought there was *no way* people were honestly boycotting the NFL because of Kaep and players kneeling.

Guess I've been blind.

Dont want to hear Kaeps name anymore

He added fuel to white america's fire and essentially told minorities their votes didnt matter so dont vote

 

[DeadsetAce]

essentially told minorities their votes didnt matter so dont vote

what'd he say exactly? i missed this

 

[shatterkneesinc]

what'd he say exactly? i missed this

He said he was not voting

Its a very big deal that he said that

 

[stillin729]

I told my friends this yesterday, the whole Kaep saga got Trump voters to the booths, I never underestimated this for a second and always believed it was a huge factor in the ratings decline

I still never expected Trump to get elected, I think there is also a lot of blindly loyal Republicans who didn't agree with Trump but still voted for because he is their party and people are puppets

 

[raider5]

His vote to CA didn't matter, but in the grand scheme of things he's suppose to be an ambassador to change and social injustice and by him not voting is pretty lame and makes me question the reason for his current stance...I don't get it...

well put and I thought the same bout the ratings decline. I knew kaep was the main reason behind them.

I 100% agree

Also tons of military people flocked to Trump

man you acting like kaep was at the DNC and campaigning with hillary telling the crowds to note vote or something 

while his protest of the anthem may have swayed the minds of some young liberal voters... I doubt it did anything of significance. 

What really messed up hillary was the emergence of 3rd party support for gary johnson. Did he officially get 5% of the vote? If so, libertarians can now be on the debate stage.

 

[shatterkneesinc]

A couple of thousands of votes here and there is a huge deal

You consistently post ignorant **** like this.

Kaep had no effect on this damn election, you sound crazy.

Kaep is really looked up to as a role model to the urban youth around here...if Kaep doesn't vote, and he has an influence on our youth to do the same later when they are eligible to vote. We got do better with the kids to make these changes or it's just a never ending cycle.

unfortunately, it did.. so did the BLM movement.. by no means am I saying either was wrong

but the most motivated group yesterday, was white people.. that's a group with a lot of entitlement.. so you could see them having zero empathy for what is going on with other people 

while the numbers of white males are slightly surprising to me.. the percentages of white women, is really eye opening to me.. I assumed trump's comments and actions would give Hillary some hope with that demographic

but nope.. you can literally just look at the level of ignorance in what dan carpenter's wife said.. I guarantee a fair amount of that group believe that the black people being killed by police must have done something to provoke the officers

but you got the Stanford swimmer somehow getting leniency

Where's Marty McFly when you need him?

 

[raider5]

I'm not trippin off us anymore, we're ****** 

 

All I'm saying these celebs and athletes are the connection to urban youth, and they are the ones that need to feel inspired to be able to make changes when their time comes.

Literally seen that public SnapChat story of that white lady talkin about "I'd rather have a Racist President than a "criminal" 

 ignorance is bliss...

 

[shatterkneesinc]

I am not saying Hil would have won

I am saying a couple thousands of votes here and there mattered.

If you are an activist and you are telling your followers I am not going to vote what does that mean?

Kaep not saying anything wouldn't have changed ****

Let's be real,the folks who didn't like her,which safe to assume now,is the majority of the country) were never gonna be pushed to be enthusiastic for her and vote in her name regardless
