Trump Wins; PC Loses
9 years ago
So, Trump won. I'm sure many of you are less than happy about it – and, honestly, that's the real 'savor' of it. See, there's something liberals, you SJWs, you 'progressives' never quite grasped;
We're tired of being called racists.
We're tired of being called misogynists.
We're tired of being called homophobes.
We're tired of being called bigots.
And above all, we're tired of being called all of the above simply because we disagree with you.
But you said it too often and too shrilly; you said it about Bush, you said it about McCain, you said it about Romney, and when you said it about Trump it fell on deaf ears. Those of you who are wailing and crying and gnashing your teeth, you've brought this on yourself. No one is buying it any longer, no one is listening. The American people at large have caught on to your petty games. We no longer need to waste our breath explaining to you exactly how your arguments are fallacious, how calling us names doesn't affect the truth of the matter; we can simply laugh it off, and tell you that you are a twat. It's up to you to form a logical argument to support your accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever the term is for the day... But you can't. Because those accusations have never been about bringing facts to the table, it's been about silencing accusations.
Now, Trump has his own issues – and I'll be watching him closely to see what he does. But you SJWs, you liberals, you little tyrants... You've lost. Not because Trump is President, no; that is merely a flowering of what is growing in America, the first blossom. We no longer have to fight on your turf; you have to fight on ours.

Well, shoot, they really made our arguments for us, didn't they? ^.^
For the record, I would have voted for Bernie Sanders if I could have.
Trumps wants to cut regulations, such as “ripping the Paris agreement on day one” since he believes global warming to be a “Chinese hoax”. He wants to get rid of the Waters of the US Rules and the Clean Power Plan.
He wants to repeal many of Obama’s executive orders, likely including ones that directly benefit American workers such as the new overtime rule.
He wants to expand our already bloated military which is what eats up most of our budget currently.
We wishes to violate the sovereignty of a foreign nation to pay for the construction of a border wall.
He wants to repeal and replace Obamacare with a worse system.
He wants to allow people to pick insurance companies across state orders which sounds fin, but all that does is allow insurance companies to set up shop in the state that gives them the best tax rates and laws so they pay less taxes and charge higher premiums.
He wants to tap into America’s oil shale deposits which means more groundwater pollution and climate change as well as oil spills. He also wants to open offshore drilling again.
These are just a few. Many of his positions are so vague and unclear. Just read his positions on his website. None of this is mentioning anything he has said in his speeches, tweets, and cabinet appointees which only get worse.
I’m not even bothering to read shillary’s website because I basically know what she was going to do. Her term as president would have been much like Obama, but much more corporatist, much more identity politics, and saber rattling with Russia.
Regarding him repealing many of Obama's executive orders - assuming that Obama did modify the overtime rules, that Executive Order seems like a gross violation in spirit if not in law of the purpose of the Executive branch. Whether you agree with the purpose of the order or not, it should not stand.
Regarding our military eating up most of our budget - no. It eats up most of our discretionary spending, true, but it only eats up 16% of our total spending. Social Security and 'Health' (which mostly consists of Medicare and Medicaid) consist of over 50% of it.
Regarding 'violating the sovereignty of a foreign nation to pay for the construction of a border wall' - sorry, no. He never said he'd violate the sovereignty of a nation to do that, and there are ways to do it without violating the sovereignty of a nation to do so.
Regarding repealing and replacing Obamacare - HAH, no, Obamacare is a wreck, and pretty much any system would be better. But, tell ya what - cite exactly what he intends to replace it with.
Regarding insurance companies being allowed to set up shop in states that give the best tax rates - so? Why should a company be forced to stay in a state if it doesn't have to? You seem to want to punish companies for not wanting to give Uncle Sam as big a slice of their profits. Your attitude in this regard is, quite frankly, greedy and malicious. Free trade is one of the aspects of American commerce; allowing more competition will actually serve to reduce the cost of insurance, which is much better than what Obamacare has done (ie, it has increased the price of insurance significantly).
Regarding tapping America's oil shale - sorry, if you're referring to fracking, you've watched a few too many liberal documentaries. The solution they force into the ground is safe to drink. The biggest problem is when wells are improperly constructed or cementing, allowing gasses to seep into it. If you want to talk about damage, however, let's talk about the damage to humanity by costly energy, especially to the third world. Expensive energy will cost many, many lives; fracking will cause a tiny increase in the amount of CO2 put into the atmosphere, which would in turn have a dubious effect on humanity at best. Yeah, I'll take the cheaper energy.
I will give you credit, though; you are at least partly correct in citing what he intends to do, which is more than I can say of most leftists. As you can see above, however, I have to disagree with your assessment of these things as 'bad things'.
