Im thinking President Obamas 8 years in office have pissed off all the WHITE FOLKS AND ALL THEIR BUDDIES TO INSANITY. Am I wrong??? Seriously, if all the folks that despised President Obama, Hilllary, and now ACO are getting together, well then all the Repubs like, turtle man, the graham cracker, and tRump will win in 2020.

(3,344 posts)Trump won because the media refused to tell the truth, which allowed the 20% in the middle to vote how they wanted.
But Trump is exposed now. Re-election will be an uphill battle.
But yes, Republicans gave up on democracy as soon as democracy elected a black man. Now they want a white Christian King.

(25,429 posts)Lots of us have railed against Trump incessantly and have been working to get Democrats elected through it all.
For a significant chunk of the demographic, though, yep, that's a lot of it. They wanted their country back from the black guy in the White House. Though, they can never seem to explain what they lost. Probably because it was nothing.
As for Trump winning, we have the numbers. The midterms proved that. We just need to make sure we have a solid candidate (which we will) and that we get the voters to the polls.

(9,696 posts)The folks that despised PResident Obama would have equally despised any democratic president (see Clinton, President Bill). The republicans will use any excuse to rile up their base, racism is just one of many.

(25,429 posts)Racism surely plays a part, but looking at just Barack and Hillary, I'm not sure they hated Obama any more than they hated Clinton. It's probably a toss-up there. Or Bill, for that matter, as you noted.

(4,305 posts)This insanity has pissed me right the hell off. But you are right, they have been saying this from President Obama's first year. Then it if Obamacare gets passed there will be a civil war, then there was if HRC wins there will be a civil war, then if he gets impeached there will be a civil war. I know I have missed a dozen or more times they have said freely that they are armed, ready and very willing.

(6,564 posts)Look... I'm as white as the driven snow, and feel honored to have had Obama as my Leader. He has intelligence, class, wisdom, integrity, etc - - he's the complete opposite of that POS we're stuck with now.
Understand that this country has always been plagued by racism and hatred. If you were alive during the turbulent 60's, you'll know what I mean.
What Twitler did was turn back the hands of time by empowering the 'Deplorables' to crawl out of the woodwork and once again dirty our Country with their hatred.
We supressed them once, and I have full confidence that we'll do it again.
Never lose hope.
Never give up.
Never give in.
