The white hot anger was manufactured by the MSM over years of lies and bullshit. Even opposing viewpoints were derided, and in my experience was held by only a couple of types of people: Youngsters who got their news from social media where it was every bit as fashionable to bash Trump as it was to spew vitriol about Nixon back in the day (in fact, the whole 5 years of hate week reminded me of the jihad against RMH, only without any basis in law or fact). The rest were Hillary fans who are a lost cause anyway.
Doesn't matter and frankly sounds crybaby. MUCH of it was instigated by Tumpy himself... And even damn lies don't matter when Tumpy himself is lying like a damn rug. The act of meeting the press at their own level... Never wrestle with a pig, right? Only this time there's a pig on all sides. And everybody is cheering on their own pig, and is trained to hate the other pig(s). Nothing measured. Nothing journalistic... Just poo-throwing all around.
But what I did see were blacks and Latinos/Hispanics who seriously supported Trump,because they Came out here during an oil boom, made good money in good jobs and proved it could be done. Now, I know this is just one small corner of flyover country, but Trump got 82% of the votes in this county. Unheard of, but real, and this wasn't the highest percentage in the state. The liberal areas in the East we are saddled with, the same people who demand "their share" of oil impact grants for towns which are 350 or more miles from any oil wells over those in the thick of things trying to keep infrastructure together and hire enough sheriff's deputies to take care of things, well those areas went more for Biden than the West (which is typical, we produce, they put their hand out over there), but even then, Trump got 65% of the vote overall in the State and only failed to carry two counties with Indian Reservations, which, for some reason$ I don't under$stand, $eem to vote for Democrat$ pretty con$i$tently.
Not quite... but mostly, so what? Is it your opinion that Tumpy made huge forays into LIBERAL cities everywhere? Because no one is even claiming that.
In other words, in a State with a Republican Legislature and Governor, where people generally work for a living and hold their work ethic dear, even in all but the most Liberal two Counties (out of 53), Trump won handily.
But the white hot hatred you see was an artifact, a product of an Orwellian Hate Week that didn't stop in the media, and the BIG LIE applied over and over to an age group that knows no better.
Nah. They ALWAYS play the big lie. Ever since I have been cognizant of politics, which was peripherally Nixon And somewhat Ford.
Fashion follows folly, almost essentially, and is a poor reason for making choices, as I suspect another generation is waking up to as they realize they've been had.
All of that has no traction against the end result. You can whine and cry and throw dirt in the air all day long, claim he was martyred, claim it was all so unfair... But the bottom line is that there was an equally massive liberal wave to rise up against Tump which realistically nullified most of his wave. All you can be arguing about is the very top of both curves. A tiny percentage of the whole. Sorry, but that is a bare fact. Y'all didn't change hearts and minds significantly in NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, or LA. And you should quit trying to.
