Voter anger over Trump's election goes deeper than Clinton's loss

[LiberalLovinLug]

46. I wish I could comment back at some of those commenters but you need a paid sub

I don't know if this paper has a dominant Republican audience or if the FB batlight went out to all the deplorables to ransack the comment section. Almost every single one of them is deplorable. The first is:

"Attacking the character of millions of Americans who voted for Trump may help you deal with your loss; however, it also shows an extremely shallow and narrow-minded grasp of the situation. I don’t know anyone who voted for Trump that agrees with any of the things you mention, which nullifies your thesis. We voted for Trump because we care strongly about the future of this country—and we are tired of the talk, while our education system is in shambles; our streets aren’t safe; our infrastructure resembles that of a third-world country; young people are dying from overdoses in every community; college graduates are earning $12/hour while saddled with enormous college debt, while millions of adults have simply quit looking for work in favor of government hand-outs, and those who want to work cannot find meaningful full-time employment; our public safety and law enforcement community is demoralized; and our military is ill-prepared for the potential global threats we face. Sorry, but after eight years, can’t blame all these things on Bush anymore. Ironically, as the party of the self-proclaimed “tolerant,” your so-called intolerant and deplorable fellow Americans who voted for Trump aren’t disparaging those who voted for Hillary Clinton, even though we all know she is a liar and a criminal. However, we do thank God that America elected the better candidate for reasons much larger—for the good of the future of our nation. So, in case you haven’t noticed, real change is in the air, and we are so fired up! Perhaps it’s time for Obama-Clinton supporters to stop fueling the divisiveness that has plagued our nation for the past eight years and instead consider putting your good talents to work for a greater good. After all, what the hell do you have to lose?"

If anyone has an account there...If I could I would reply:

Not only is this crowd deplorable for supporting the Asshat in Chief, but they are delusional as well.

WHY would you vote for someone that you do not agree with "any of the things" he said? ... the racism and bigotry he spouts?

WHY would you think Trump and the GOP would help spending on infrastructure when they blocked all President Obama's initiatives?

IF minimum wage for college grads was so important WHY would you vote for the candidate that will do nothing about that instead of the candidate that wants to raise min wage? WHY, if you are concerned about college debt would you not vote for the party working towards free tuition?

WHY do you surmise that "our military is ill-prepared for the potential global threats we face", when Obama has been increasing military budgets and has killed ISIS leaders and of course OBL. and when you spend nearly half you taxes on the military. Do you want to spend more?

NO we don't all know she (Hillary) is a criminal. (I'm surprised you left off murderer) Usually a court of law determines this not Sean Hannity and a FB page.

NO it has not been Obama-Clinton supporters "fueling the divisiveness that has plagued our nation for the past eight years", it is Right wing hate radio and Fox News and the GOP. It is your reactions to social progress like gay marriage rights, and pot legalization, and women's right to choose for themselves, etc..that fuel divisiveness. We have been winning these battles, why would we want 'divisiveness'? Think about it.


One thing I would agree with this person on, I will be, and I'm sure a lot of us will be...
"putting your good talents to work for a greater good. After all, what the hell do you have to lose?"
because we have a LOT to lose from Trump and his bigoted racist supporters ALL.
