MANY Trump supports have come out of the woodwork on PS

[nala]

And I don't get why don't you realize that as repulsive as Trump is to you, for many voters (some voted for him and some didn't) that she is equally, or more so, repulsive to them? I don't remember any PS poster who dismissed his stupid remarks as locker room talk or dismiss them as not offensive.

This horse has been beat to death. Repulsive as she is to some, she is not president. So the liar and crook that many think her to be was defeated by a liar and crook. We should all be happy.

This goes both ways. And I am all for getting all of this shit behind us and talk about nice things for once.

Say the poster who started a thread mocking young adults for needing empathy.

I think this is partially why the polls were so WRONG! People who supported him did it in the privacy of their homes or like-minded friend's homes. They were too afraid to publicly show their allegiance to a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther (credit to HuffPo). Even if they agreed with his hate, it is not seen socially acceptable to be a racist (wonder why!? ) But in the privacy of that poll booth, they can express their true feelings. Now that he won, well, they feel liberated to rejoice in his win.

This post reminds me of something I came across on FB the other day:

"Be careful. You are acting in the very hate in which you claim to stand against."

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Replace socialists with Mexicans. Replace trade unionists with Muslims. Calling out hate is not hateful. Racist comments are not protected. I see no need to respect DJT's opinions. Although btw, I didn't say all of his supporters were the same. I said even if supporters agreed with his offensive rhetoric- not that all agreed.

This. What I don't get is why you all who are here defending him do not acknowledge that he made these comments? Why do you keep dismissing them as locker room talk, empty rhetoric, etc??? You are right, there is no conversation Bc Trump supporters keep reiterating that they didn't in fact vote for him, but somehow find every possible thread about Trump to post and to dismiss or excuse every single one of his offenses. At least admit it already.

Are you addressing me?
What Trump words, behaviors have I excused Just because a person doesn't get caught up in the media shit show about how Trump-did-this/Trump-dad-that, doesn't mean that they excuse his behavior. I chose to not get my panties in a bunch because I felt Trump & Clinton were pretty equally disturbing. Maybe I excused his words/behaviors because I didn't berate those around me who chose to support (or vote) for him? I don't consider it any of my business who someone votes for and I don't care to make assumptions about people simply based on who they were forced to vote for in an election with two, horrible candidates.
I've never excused his words as "locker room" talk (go back and read the thread on that subject) and I've never said he had empty rhetoric. I've said that some of his campaign promises would not likely come to fruition, but that's not the same as empty rhetoric.
I've often posted in response to Trump threads in futile attempt to try to add a more balanced perspective. In other words, I didn't necessarily agree with the never-ending supply of anti-Trump threads because obviously, Clinton had plenty of issues too (which is obvious now more than ever), but those were rarely addressed.
I honestly don't care who you (or anyone) thinks I voted for. I actually ended up doing a write-in candidate and then voted in all of the other elections.
I have not witnessed a bunch of Trump supporters coming out of the woodwork now that the election is over and I've not experienced much "gloating/celebrating" by Trump supporters either. In fact, my experience is quite the opposite. My experience is people complaining, mourning, doom-and-glooming, threatening to move out of the country, etc. because they lost the election. I know a handful of people who openly supported Trump and for the most part, they have been very quiet & reserved about the whole thing. Even the people around my neighborhood who had Trump signs in their yards, removed them after Election Day (while I notice that many Hillary signs still remain). Obviously, since Trump won, I likely know many more Trump supporters who either don't care to discuss politics, or are afraid to come forward in fear of being unfairly judged (people calling them racists, etc).
And like Red, what difference does any of this make now..... I'm moving forward and hoping for the best (but expecting far less).

I have not seen this posted here yet. Many of your fellow Americans do not agree with liberal policies or they just did not like Clinton. Even in deep blue states. Most of the blue areas are highly urbanized locations with more dependency on federal, state and local government services.

Or perhaps because of cultural diversity and experience.

You forgot to add that many, many of those areas have the highest incomes and highest education levels. But I guess you'd rather focus on the "idea" you have: majority of dems are on welfare and food stamps...

And also the highest crime rates. I said nothing of welfare or food stamps. Services means fire dept, trash pick-up, water, sewer, etc.

What's done is done unless the electoral college does the unexpected. All we can do now is hope for the best.

I am quite perplexed on the point of your statement. Most dems are concentrated in areas with fire depts., trash service, city water and sewer. And???? What am I missing? Btw, many small sized R towns have that too so I am not sure where this is headed.

This is promising. I like Richard Grenell and feel he is absolutely up to the task. I do not know much about Peter Thiel. I want him to appoint the best people for the job. Washington needs the shake-up.
