POTUS Election thread

[AE Bravo]

A knee jerk reaction? NAFTA was 25 years ago, the loss of the manufacturing base started before that. If anything the people of the rust clung to the Democratic Party (or at least politics as usual) as long as they could. I'm not rationalizing anything. That's what is.

Populism in thrid world countries tends to be bad for America. Populism in thrid world countries tends to involve women getting their clitorises removed. These are things which are sub optimal.

But I'll make you a deal. You can continue using my countries education system and continue to consume its culture. For my part I will continue to ignore the fact your country is the epicenter of modern Slavery and a general pox upon humanity in general. Sound good to you?

It was a knee jerk, they bought a mystery box of bullshit. Your president-elect went back on major pledges. The difference between you and other Americans is that you find it easy to look past all the fighting words that had been said, for your sense of pride. Not everyone can look past that, and this is the difference between you and many of your other countrymen who are not privileged.

Because a Trump presidency isn’t sub optimal? Judging from his cabinet, you’re going to drag us all into a war at some point, not just bomb the defenseless as usual.

Funny you say "pox,"
3,066 Americans have been killed in terrorist attacks from 9/11/2001 through
12/31/2014, including perpetrators and excluding deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq.
o 2,961 of these deaths occurred on American soil.
o 2,902 of these deaths occurred during the attacks on September 11, 2001.

1.3m dead civilians war on terror by US.
