To Those Trumpsters Who Say, "We Didn't Complain When Your Side Won," Let's Review.


By MenWithGuts
Thursday Nov 24, 2016 · 10:37 PM CST


This post is against my better judgement. I’m not usually one to promote hate and division but I’m pretty sick of RWRRA (right wing racist republican assholes) claiming their ‘side’ never complained about Obama the way libtards, democrats, socialists, commies, lefties, etc. are ridiculing and demeaning Donald Drumpf.

But I can’t help myself. I’m tired of the two-faced hypocrisy from friends, relatives, co-workers, etc. who honestly (?) believe everyone was kind and courteous and magnanimous when their team lost in 2008 and 2012.

On the night of Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009, Republican ‘leaders’ met in a private dining room at an expensive Washington, D.C., steakhouse to plot out ways to not just win back political power, but also to obstruct anything Obama proposed. Their plan was clear: Ruin the American economy (hey, they were all rich, it wouldn’t affect them or theirs), blame it on the young black President, and then recapture the White House in 2012.

.....snip....

So. For those who believe Drumpf is being treated unfairly, please review the following images that confirm how yes, Virginia, the losing party from the last two election’s completely tried to delegitimize America’s first black President in some of the most horrible, shameful, racist ways possible.

if one lives in the 29 Red states,well good luck,your going to need it in a couple of years. Remember these States have zero or next to zero safety net for their residents. Realtor across the street is getting what she calls usually high amounts of inquiries from midwest States. Mostly persons who are bailing out before their area Real Estate Market blows up again.

....and Trump will be losing probably their only retirement income, Social Security and the only thing that will keep them alive when they get older, Medicare.

What really gets me going is how disappointing some of my friends and acquaintances are. One is barely 50 and has been living on disability for several years. He has been downright insulting about Obama and Clinton, and even after the election he's been going on about them and how great it is that Trump was elected. Wait until you lose your disability benefits, buddy.

Another has been in state-subsidized alcohol rehab, which he probably wouldn't have been able to attend under Trump. He also had his house totally rebuilt when it was destroyed by Katrina.

So these guys are living on the government dole and yet they're gloating that those things will be going away soon.

I was dreading Thanksgiving dinner this year, some of my relatives are extreme right wingers. Not a word from them, in fact they were unusually subdued all day, probably thinking "what have we done?".

The only political comment all day came from me, when they were talking about their guns. I pointed out that they never really had a problem buying bullets during Obama's administration, did they?

This is probably the only "positive" thing about the recent election - the idiots who elected Trump and the other republicans will be suffering just as much or even more (since they're generally uneducated and working in menial jobs) than those of us who voted for Clinton and Democrats.

We live in a Gated Community with mostly Seniors. Got several in and around us who must have read the same script. We were the only people to have a Hillary sign(which is not allowed by HOA rules)and needless to say,we do get the Trump wrath,but,what the heck,you can't fix STUPID. Every single person around us is relying on Social Security,SSDI,Military Service Disability,or Railroad Pension. Yes there are a few who have investments as a back up,but when this Stock Market starts to go South in January and February,this will make the Housing Crash look like a blip.

But what the heck,at least Trump will answer their prayers by getting rid of those hateful Brown Peoples and them Libruals who are a protesting in our streets.

It is so difficult to get it through these Trump voters that their unemployment insurance, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security is about to go away, forever. I live in Mississippi and at least half of the population of the town I live in is on some kind of subsidized program.

They think, well I don't know what they think since they are completely incoherent as to why they vote against their best interest. My brother has Obamacare (also known as RomneyCare) if Congress guts the ACA he will be unable to have follow up visits for the cancer has been battling for the past 6 years.

I've heard so many vile things about President Obama by RWNJ's that have allowed the darkest sides of themselves come out it literally takes my breath away. These same people demand Social Security be around when they quit working, the demand they will have Social Security. Their problem with President Obama is he's black, that is it. Well, and he's smarter and more dignified than they will ever be.

They think the "liberal media" has stolen the gubmint, but have had more opportunity to spew their bile. They think Obama has stolen everything from them, even though he stopped another depression, regain nearly all the lost jobs from the W era and even got Bin Laden.

God help us all.

The real estate mogul and host of reality show “The Apprentice” has been an outspoken supporter of Mitt Romney. He used Twitter to object vehemently to the Electoral College system that he predicted would give the win to Obama and the popular vote to the GOP challenger.

There is nothing wrong with any of the above because Obama is a black man that needed to be put in his place.

They detested Obama because he was black. We detest Trump because he is misogynistic, racist, a narcissist.....and incompetent for this office.

Big difference.
