THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Alexander PhiAlipson]

I found this on the Internet, yesterday:

Are you telling us that in a city, nay, an entire District, that voted 90% democrat, more people showed up for a democrat's inauguration than a republican's?

This changes everything!
What's next? LA, NYC, and Chicago went blue? The "popular vote" went for Hillary?

Meh. Whatever dude. If he doesn't build a wall and deport them all I'm going to go ahead and counter signal him two years from now. If he fucks us over that's pretty much it for me.

You're not a swing voter in a swing district; you don't matter.

So you keep saying. Meh. Whatever dude. I'm just speaking about my feelings. Surely I'm alone in them.

Whatever, dude, even if you were a swing voter in a swing district, sitting on your hands would simply be de facto voter supression for the Democrats, and so a win for them.

I mean I'm sure you can just ignore us racists and supplant our votes with Mexicans

Who could have possibly foreseen this outcome given that Obama was the first black president on top of all that?


Seriously anyone surprised that more people showed up to Obama's inauguration than Trump's didn't stop and think even a little bit about before finding out.

I think Trump has to prove himself on the economic policy before he can assert a mandate, I would say he is just being flight tested at this point, to interpret the election as a broad and sweeping mandate across the board, would be folly, a folly which would put the ball right back in the hands of the opposition, he has to show the beef, no beef, no dice, the mandate is economic above all, if he fails to deliver, but struts about like he has an otherwise broad and sweeping mandate, that's the Lame Duck zone.

Yeah, it's the economy stupid, as BJ Clinton would say. We've been in an artificially propped up economy in the US since the Tech Bubble crash. We have 90 Million people out of the work force and around 45 Million on Foodstamps. Economy is job one. Fortunately for Trump, money is his background.

Trump doesn't really have to do radical things to get the economy going. First thing is back off stupid guvment regulations, second all in on energy production in the US, third favorable taxes to bring business back to the US, fourth show industrial production can still work in America.

More radical moves don't necessarily need to be done either. The mere threat of tariffs will bring countries to the bargaining table for more favorable deals. And most think the Trumpster is a little crazy anyway so that will work for him.

[Smitty-48]

"Racism, Mexicans, blah, blah, blah"; None of that shit actually matters, with the gerrymandering/hyperpolarization, you're into a stark binary paradigm, the only common ground is the economy, if Trump delivers on the economy, four more years of Trump, if he fails to deliver, backlash on a grand scale.

To be fair, Puerto Ricans are Americans too.
