For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

The pundits missed this election because most of the "elite" only heard the message that Trump is a pig, because for those who got left behind, it was about work, not benefits.
U6 shows us there are lots of citizens, especially in the Midwest who want to work again. So when Trump talked about that, Hillaryites scoffed because Hillaryites were working. "You don't want work, you want benefits." The Trump voters were middle class workers who are Reagan Democrats that Obama seized but Hillary called a basket of deplorables.
I am reminded by the statement of a New York media type during one of the Nixon elections who was also shocked, because everybody he knew was voting against Nixon. He was so sure McGovern would win. Confirmation bias on steroids.
We "elite", you elite were deaf to the message that those who won the election heard."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

Amazingly, trump wins with 48% of the vote, which at this moment is 59 million. Romney had 47% and 60.9 million.
Romney actually got more votes.
Hillary is just that bad.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

I'm angry as well and more than a little disappointed at the tepid level of rioting in the streets. We can do better. I'm going to go out this afternoon to buy an American flag to burn, but I'm not really sure where to buy one--I'm thinking Walmart--and I'm not sure where exactly I should burn it or who I should invite or what the fire codes are. Wish me luck.Originally posted by Commando View PostI'm pretty angry. I actually did the unthinkable and engaged my pro Trump fb friends in a fit of rage. Fuck Trump, Fuck this shit. America, get your shit together or you can fuck off, too. I'm cool to be a lifty at Whistler for the remainder of my days rather than share air with the shitbags that breathed life into this trailer trash monument to the worst of humankind. And every. single. one. is breathtakingly stupid. Not one is like all philosophical and logical about it. It's all: NOW AMERICA IS BOUND FOR GREATNESS!.
I hate this.

I don't hate Trump voters anymore than I hate my dog when it eats random piles of poo. I don't understand it, I don't like it, I think it's disgusting, but I realize my dog is nothing more than a stupid, slobbering beast. I have no argument with you. Go back to your bowl.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostYou guys hate Trump voters more than Trump allegedly hates immigrants."The mind is not a boomerang.

Trump and Trump's voters also probably think of immigrants as dogs that just got done eating poop too. I'm glad that the animosity isn't as bad as I thought.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View PostI don't hate Trump voters anymore than I hate my dog when it eats random piles of poo.

Meh, they are the Trump voters.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View PostYou guys hate Trump voters more than Trump allegedly hates immigrants.
Where many are getting this wrong is that this election was tipped by the rednecks, factory workers, unemployed, and the uneducated. What tipped this election were those the pollsters couldn't reach which were teachers, businessmen, lawyers, doctors, and housewives who are tired of the status quo and voted accordingly. They did it under the radar and managed to avoid being singled out by those who would shame.
