Thank goodness I'm in that .1% you didn't account for
White Nationalism won him the POTUS??? Where was that white nationalism going up against Obama for two terms??
Trump won because he was a better candidate then Hillary. Period. It's a disgrace tbh how bad she is/was...the corruption and incompetence etc.
I used to think this way, too... but I think it's shallow. It's like saying you aren't allowed to criticize the banking system for unfair policies if you use a bank. What's the alternative, tucking your money under the mattress? If you criticize America, you should leave and go live somewhere else. If you think taxes are too high, are you hypocritical for paying all of your taxes?Athletes
Have no problem playing for racist owners as long as their pockets get lined. Have no issue taking gobs of money from Nike and gouging poor youth while Nike uses slave labor - as long as it lines their pockets. Play alongside wife beaters, adulterers & people who dodge their kids but Trump is where they draw the line.
Athletes morals.
Would you quit your job just because one of your coworkers had committed a crime 10 years ago? And if you don't quit your job, does that mean you support that crime?
He ran a campaign that teetered on white nationalism and got elected despite it. People weren't dissuaded from voting for him. That's telling enough. A subtle difference than getting elected "because of it." It should have been enough to turn off voters, but mysteriously, it wasn't.
Also I agree Hillary was a candidate.
How did it teeter white nationalism?
I was ok voting Clinton because a hostile congress would have been a huge check and balance against that . Instead we get a friendly congress covering up Trump's corruption by trying to say he's new at this.
By calling out virtually every other ethnic group as the problems plaguing America.
- Muslims cheering on rooftops, proposing a full-scale ban at one point.
- Mexicans being rapists and criminals, and a judge couldn't possibly be fair because his parents were Mexican.
- Asians are screwing us by manipulating currency and stealing jobs.
- Constant portrayal of the black community at large being in "the worst shape they've ever been" (lol), almost invariably talks about inner cities every time african americans are brought up, as if that's the only place they live. One time even pointed out that a black guy was at his rally by saying "look at my african american over here".
He never said "white nationalism" as part of his campaign, but there was definitely dog-whistling and subtext to at least cater to those groups.
I will absolutely agree that it isn't right or fair to blame him for actions/views of his followers... but is it telling at the very least that people who ARE white nationalists almost unanimously supported his candidacy all along? Kind of a stretch to think it was a coincidence.
Wow...then why did both the black and Hispanic voted increase in favor of Trump?? Seems like you fell for the left wing media propaganda
And you're a little off on almost all of your points and he didn't win because of those points that teetered "white nationalism"..
And I'll ask again where was this when Obama was running?
Not the same situation at all. Thomas was "ripped" for not visiting the White House because Obama is black...a claim of racial prejudice that was likely unfounded.
Other reporters didn't go that far, but they still ripped him to shreds:
Thomas was pilloried by other media sources, if not quite being equated as a racist. Here in Canada, Sportsnet's Michael Grange wrote, "The Bruins shook hands with the Canucks, but Tim Thomas couldn't meet his president?" CBC's Tim Wharnsby asked, "Just wondering if down the road Thomas still will believe standing up for his political convictions in this manner was worth it."
"Shabby. Immature. Unprofessional. Self-centered. Bush league. Need I go on?" wrote Boston Globe hockey writer Kevin Paul Dupont. "All that and more applies to what Thomas did..."

Now the Warriors will get praised by Media for doing the same . Gotta love double standards.
The Warriors are refusing to visit the White House because Trump is a white, egotistical trust-fund baby and white supremacist who is doing everything he can to ruin our country and has a record-low approval rating in a record-fast time. And they are doing it as a team, not just an individual.
I hate the Warriors, but I appreciate them making a stand.
they should go and hand Trump a jersey with number zero and " got" above it
If Tim Thomas wanted to boycott Obama, thats fine. But peeps are gonna ask why.
If entire GSW teams wants to boycott Trump, thats fine. But peeps are gonna ask why (and I'm sure they'd be more than happy to say).
Trump probably has early stages of dementia. Youre a ing idiot if you even considered voting for him.
Or better yet "electoral college".
I'd go with jersey number 45 with the name IMPEACH
I doubt it's dementia, he's just a piece of .
Every team does this when they win a championship. Spurs did the same thing in 2014.
You can hate the wastefulness of it...but you can't pin it solely on Golden State.
I would go, even if clinton or obama were in office, and I hated their political views. It is about meeting the leader of the free world and visiting the White House......my Dad sacrificed in Vietnam, multiple tours. He loved his country. That reason alone makes me want to go.
I gave you Trump's positions and quotes. That's not propaganda. Whether you go to a left wing or right wing media source, his quotes and policies are the same. I think it's natural that the black vote increase because he wasn't up against a black candidate. Also, Clinton was a very disliked candidate as well who was under FBI investigation
On which ones were I off , and how?And you're a little off on almost all of your points and he didn't win because of those points that teetered "white nationalism"..
obama was a better candidate than hillary was and won an easy election because it was following the bush presidency. and for the second time, i didnt say trump won because of white nationalism. I do think he catered to that group and won anyway.And I'll ask again where was this when Obama was running?
"The leader of the free World"
1. Facts don't care about your feelings..
2. He didn't ban ALL Muslims it was 7 countries that were picked by the Obama administration who couldn't properly vet people...but the "ban" was a leftist taking point to exaggerate what the order was.
3. He didn't say ALL Mexicans were rapist or criminals..he said some illegals have committed crimes..which is true..but like the "ban" the left painted that statement with a broad brush..
4. Yes China has manipulated the economy in their favor. That's a fact but he also respects China..another broad brush theory..
5. Yes the inner cities have issues and are in bad shape..which have been governed by the Democrats for decades plus...he used Chicago as an example..
And again he didn't win because of white nationalism lol..that's just an excuse or label used by the left for not winning the elections. I recall Van Jones stating a "white Wash" immediately after the election and tbh it's racist as to say such a thing.
ok ben shapiro
i'm aware. I was referring to his proposal during the campaign that didnt' seem to turn off voters. remember when he proposed a complete and total shutdown? how did his base feel about that?2.

"When Mexico sends (lol, sends) it's people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots or problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." What picture does that paint? That they're mostly good but some of them happen to be criminals? Give me a a break.3. He didn't say ALL Mexicans were rapist or criminals..he said some illegals have committed crimes..which is true..but like the "ban" the left painted that statement with a broad brush..
What's the broad brush? He repeatedly brought up our trade deficit with China and currency manipulation time and time again throughout his campaign. Mentioning that he respects them or has many friends in China doesn't change that he blames them for much of our economic woes.4. Yes China has manipulated the economy in their favor. That's a fact but he also respects China..another broad brush theory..
I'm aware of the bad shape inner cities are in, and of course he always referred to Chicago, the one in worst shape. The point I made there is any time he was asked about the black community, he would default to talking about Chicago... as if the black community is just poor inner city folk.5. Yes the inner cities have issues and are in bad shape..which have been governed by the Democrats for decades plus...he used Chicago as an example..
and again, for the THIRD time now, i did't say he won because of white nationalism. you keep arguing against a point i have not made and have denounced twice (not a third time). And yes I have criticized Van Jones heavily in the political forum for those statements.And again he didn't win because of white nationalism lol..that's just an excuse or label used by the left for not winning the elections.

Ben Shapiro is the truth...ok ben shapiro

And again its not about what the picture paints..because that's interpreted differently by people. It's about facts and yes there are illegal immigrants rapist/criminals from Mexico. Yes the inner city have issues that need to be addressed. Yes China has manipulated the economy...
You brought up the word white nationalism as a reason for him winning lol...I sure as didn't
i think he can be funny, and i listen to his podcast every now and again. but his little "how to debate a liberal" speeches he gives to students are cringe-worthy imoBen Shapiro is the truth...
i think that's where i disagree. the picture he paints is important, because that's what the voters respond to. if he paints the picture that "mexicans are dangerous, blacks are responsible for crime in cities, and our economy is struggling because of china" and voters respond accordingly, his underlying meaning and intent is buried behind the picture he painted.And again its not about what the picture paints..because that's interpreted differently by people. It's about facts and yes there are illegal immigrants rapist/criminals from Mexico. Yes the inner city have issues that need to be addressed. Yes China has manipulated the economy...
he got elected on a platform that had some not-so-subtle nods at the white nationalist mindset (all of our problems are because of people who aren't white christians... muslims, mexicans, blacks, asians). he didnt get elected BECAUSE of it, but he ran that campaign and got elected despite it, which isn't pretty imoYou brought up the word white nationalism as a reason for him winning lol...I sure as didn't
What dip claims to support Donald Trump at this point? The man has Matryushka dolls stuffed up his ass but his hands are too tiny to retrieve them.
