The Racist Backlash Against Obama Is What Brought Us Trump

[Tank]

Trump is the result of decades of conservative media telling its viewers and listeners that the politicians they supported weren't extreme enough.

Trump is a clever man who saw an under served market and stepped forward to serve it.

Yes he's certainly doing a fantastic job of playing these terrified people for fools.

YOur spin is irrelevant.

Trump's policies are not extreme. They are Common Sense and in the best interests of America, which is something that we have not had enough of for quite some time.

A Muslim registry is not extreme? Ordering soldiers to violate the Geneva Conventions is not extreme? Expelling 11 million people and claiming another country will build a border wall for us is not extreme?

Every xenophobic rube in America, like yourself, drools at the mouth and bends over for Trump because of those things.

Don't be such a pussy

 

[Meathead]

Almost 8 years of race pimping is the inevitable result.

Shutting down immigration when we are already flooded with immigrants AND we are in a war with terrorist is not extreme.

The Geneva Convention, at least the traditional articles, did not even mention illegal combatants, except to be clear they were NOT covered.

And no, deporting Illegals is not extreme.

And demanding the dicks who have been taking such advantage of US for so long pay for it is completely reasonable.

Trump was a big voice in the birther movement . Remember he had his people looking into it in Hawaii? Lol! Birther freaks = racists . Plain n simple.


Oh, and trump wanted obama to release all this college records . Has trump released his now that he's running ?

Even then he used the same language. Saying that they found something yuge that he was going to "reveal" and change everything.

He scammed his believers that time too but they love to be lied to.

1. I do not believe that Trump wants a Muslim Registry.

2. HOw? How is matter of negotiation and leverage. That is not extreme.

3. How? With great difficulty. BUt the problem being huge does not mean addressing it is extreme. Refusing to enforce the Law because it is hard is extreme.

4. Show me the articles that say illegal combatants have protections.

5. You are a nutbjob.

It's easy to say that you'd build a wall, it's quite a different thing to actually do it.

Paying for it via tariffs and trade deals would require it to be done by Congress, and after McConnell said that the GOP should drop Trump like a hot rock, I don't really think he's going to get much support on those fronts.

The democrats are soooooooooooooooooooooo Desperate, they think that dirty politics of beating people over the head as a RACIST is going to work for them again. You all done wore that word out. grow some new ideas in those wee minds of your. sheesh. You have feel pity for a DNC tool. they should be embarrassed trying to prop up their slimy party who Obama damn near destroyed and that is YOUR all's fault you put the community agitating street thug in office.

they are such a dirty lowdown political party. they can't win any OTHER way because the People don't want what they selling.

read it and weep. tsk tsk

Obama Has Decimated His Own Party Unlike Any Other Modern President
913 lost legislature seats. 11 lost governorships. And a partridge in a pear tree.
By Ashe Schow • 11/13/15 1:27pm




Last week concluded the final election of President Obama’s tenure that didn’t involve replacing him. After seven years in office and as many elections, the Democratic Party has taken a beating worse than the Republican Party took under George W. Bush.

On nearly every level of government, Democrats have lost more seats under Mr. Obama than under any other two-term modern president dating back to Dwight Eisenhower. (This includes the dual presidencies of John F. Kennedy/Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford.)

Under Mr. Obama, Democrats have lost 13 net Senate seats, 69 House seats, 11 governorships, a whopping 913 state legislature seats and 30 state legislature chambers, according to analysis from the Washington Post.

That makes Mr. Obama the overseer of the biggest loss in Senate seats, House seats and state legislature seats of any of the past seven two-term presidencies, the second biggest loser of state legislature chambers (Mr. Nixon/Mr. Ford lost 31 to Mr. Obama’s 30) and fourth biggest loser of governorships (tied with Bill Clinton).

For all of the Republicans’ painful memories of 2006 under the second Mr. Bush, when Democrats made massive gains in the House and Senate, his losses came nowhere near Mr. Obama’s. Under Mr. Bush, Republicans lost 9 net Senate seats, 42 House seats, 7 governorships, 324 state legislature seats and 13 state legislature chambers.

And this isn’t even a downward trend. Mr. Clinton did worse than Mr. Bush on every level except for Senate seats (Mr. Clinton lost seven to Mr. Bush’s 9). That’s not to say the next president – Democrat or Republican – might not do worse than Mr. Obama as far as losing seats at the state level, but there’s isn’t a downward trend showing that as, say, social media and the 24-hour news cycle bombards Americans with negative information, presidents suffer.

Following the 2015 elections, Republicans now have total control of 30 state legislatures and split control of an additional eight. That’s total control of 60 percent of state legislatures.

all of it here:
Obama Has Decimated His Own Party Unlike Any Other Modern President

It’s not just anger over jobs and immigration. White voters hope Trump will restore the racial hierarchy upended by Barack Obama.

For Americans opposed to Trump, it’s tempting to believe that his base is a shrinking part of America; that these are the death throes of racial reaction. Eventually, goes the thinking, they’ll fade from view too.

That is wishful thinking. America is a diverse country. But it’s still a predominantly white one, where a Trumpist movement can still encompass millions of voters. And “eventually” might be a while. In the space between now and then, Trumpism—the potent mix of open prejudice, nationalist aggression, and heterodox economic policy—could thrive. In fact, it likely will, since the trends that produced Trump—a brittle economy, an ailing white working-class, an insecure white middle-class, a rising nonwhite population, political gridlock, and growing minority political power—are ongoing.

Given the more than uphill climb he would face in a general election, Trump the person might have an expiration date. But Trumpism will enter the firmament of modern politics, a powerful current that will shape the future of the Republican Party, and the Democratic one too. Trump came on the stage as a clown. But whenever he leaves, he’ll do it as a new icon of a familiar movement in American life.

Trump climbed on the racist bandwagon early on when he started his Obama birtherism and otherness. He recognized there was a strong market for it - and he was right.

I didn't know there is a race of morons...but the more I think about it...you're correct. They're called progressives.

1. He said he wouldn't rule it out

2. Current and past President's of Mexico have said Mexico is not going to build a wall. That's just insane.

3. "With great difficulty." What a plan.

4. I can show you articles about murdering civilians, especially when the ones targeted are women and children.

5. You, if you really believe what you've written, are a monster.

What a Whinging Load of Blather.

The backlash against Obama is because his Big Government policies are crushing our economy and therefore the lives and prospects of millions of Americans, and because his Anti-American Appeasement has enabled terrorism.

Yes. That is true.

Still nothing extreme about it. Hell, we've already got quite a bit of wall and fencing along the border.

the closer we get to elections the more pitiful they become. still whining over how that poor poor wittle man/boy Obama was treated badly.
