Three weeks in and Trump is already a pariah

#46

Quote:Trump's winning of the election was more about economics than anything. And people want to keep discrediting that. He's not as polished and well crafted from a speaking stand point when it comes to our past political leaders. And somehow people decipher that into him being racist. Just like the so called "Muslim Ban" not really being a Muslim ban when he didn't even touch nor list the biggest five Muslim based countries. 

 

Meanwhile. Mexico has a Southern Border and Wall that keeps Guatemala out of it's country. And you have a ton of Muslim based countries that ban Jews from entering their own countries. Pot meet Kettle. 

 

What bothers me the most is just the overall hypocrisy of it all. I'll go back to the discussion about the Wall. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama used the same ideology when it came to the border during their times of presidency. They both talked about tightening up security. They both stated we're a "Nation of Immigrants. But also a nation of Laws". They both stated they'd work hard to boot illegals out of the country and keep them at bay. Nobody batted an eye. But this border issue has been in our political system for over two decades now. 

 

But, back to the economic part. Now, for those crying racists voted for him and support him. Look, Trump won the hearts of the Rust Belt over during his election. That's the truth of it. Look at the voting map. Most of the big cities that are liberal voted for Clinton. And the working class communities in the Rust Belt leaned back to the right. People cried racism yet in fact, four of the states that voted in Obama TWICE went for Trump this go around. So you mean to tell me after eight years of Obama these four states have suddenly turned "racist"?

 

Stop it. What's happening is that since 2008. After our Government bailed out the "too big to fails". And they kept promising the working class things that never came to fruition. People had enough of the lies. We kept hearing the people in the Rust Belt had White Privilege from the far left and Neoliberals while they saw their industrial plants close down and move out of town. And then they all had the audacity to call them the "racist" ones. The "bigots". So it was easy for them to make the switch. 

 

But, this is happening on a worldwide scale. Not just in America. Other European countries are tightening up their borders to immigration as they cannot take on much more with their own issues at hand. They don't have the capacity.

 

That's why Brexit also happened. Western Europe wants to get away from the Euro as they fear it'll turn them into Eastern Europe pay wage level wise and they'll have even more global competition for export share with the Chinese. The working class world is tired of hearing how great Globalism is and how it works. When it's failed over the last twenty years. It's beyond EU and the US. It's about the elites and the 1% selling the working class out. 

 

And you're fixing to see like minded right wing based conservatives in France and Germany take over the political spectrum as well. The Front National party of France spearheaded by Marine Le Pen could very well win out in Spring of 2017. The current president of France has a 4% approval rating...

 

Merkel is also at risk of losing her title to the right winged AFD party of Germany as well after the influx of immigrants into Germany that she's allowed with her CDU party and political views and the stagnant economy and job issues over there. The rest of the globe is waking up. People are revolting against the creditors and the bankers with these elections now. And it should be quite obvious.


Slow clap.


Outstanding post,
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
