But see, we have to unify because Donald Trump has some good points and brought attention to some important things and leftists willing to lose friendships over this are just petty and immature. | ||

And the grand solution to make it stop is to pretend that it isn't happening. Because, you know, there's no way that could go horribly wrong. It's not like these geniuses haven't already made reference to Japanese internment camps to justify shit policy. | ||

Not best possible outcome. My primary vote was for the person I thought was the best possible outcome. Trump wasn’t even in my top half of acceptable candidates from the 17 (?). Trump was more of the deserved successor with all the parallels and complements. If you talk about problems in largely white and rural communities, coastal elites and mass media dismiss it as “white grievance.” Well, look whose chickens came home to roost. I feel sorry for the country, but I don’t have the least bit of pity for that sort of person/viewpoint. | ||

Quite the distance between the amount of times you're annoyed that their grievances are being dismissed and the amount of times you'd advocate for policies that would actually address their grievances (cause you know, that'd be Socialism). | ||

Imagine my shock that a liberal thinks conservative (or in Trump’s case, nationalist populist) policies don’t help Americans. | ||
