Heads up! "GLOBALISM" is their new mantra to deflect from Russia

"White working class voted for globalization" <<<------ bullshit, but it's their new thing now. They want to infiltrate "globalize, globalism," et al, with Russia...so it just sounds normal.

Fuck these motherfuckers.

It was one hell of a marketing campaign. Sold this POS as if it was the best thing since sliced white bread and the uninformed bought the Whole damn Truck Load.

Send your Trump-loving family an encyclopedia and tell them you hide an $100 itune code in the margins of one of the articles.

See national socialism aka nazi's. They want a white country-no abortion-breed more white babies-and no immigrants at all because immigrants are the wrong race and color. Global is a code for all of the world-they want an America of 1950 but one that loves Russia because you know Russia-white people. Sick fucks indeed. I have a relative who believes all this stuff so I know it quite well-he is a white supremacist and rants about the evils of globalism. Mostly they live in fear. The sharia law crowd-the terrorists behind every bush crowd-that is what started a lot of it. See Richard Spencer. See Steve Bannon. This is what they believe and they have an ear now in the White House once Trump is installed.

Who said that? The white working class voted for Trump who hardly stands for globalization. In fact he spent his whole campaign blaming globalization for our problems and promoting building walls and raising tariffs to isolate us.

we the people didn't vote for what, we voted for who
now that we've voted enough whos to get single-party domination of the federal government, whatever that party says pretty much goes
if they say "globalize" we'll globalize, if they say "protectionism" we'll do protectionism, and we'll try to do both at once if they ask us to

an interesting question, yet to be answered, is what we'll do when they say "deport the Muslims" and/or "re-educate the gays"

i suspect the American people will find a way to accommodate such requests, but i hope to be proven wrong

so I'm starting to see some light at the repug end of this dark tunnel.

http://www.allsides.com/news/2016-12-11-0904/john-mccain-goes-offensive-against-donald-trumps-likely-secretary-state-nominee

Sen. John McCain blasted the likely secretary of state nominee of President-elect Donald Trump Saturday, saying he’s concerned about Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson’s close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I don’t know what Mr. Tillerson’s relationship with Vladimir Putin was, but I’ll tell you it is a matter of concern to me,” McCain said Saturday during an interview with Fox News.

“You want to give the president of the United States the benefit of the doubt because the people have spoken. But Vladimir Putin is a thug, a bully and a murderer, and anybody else who describes him as anything else is lying,” he added.

NBC News reported Saturday that Trump had chosen Tillerson to be his secretary of state, though the campaign has yet to make an official announcement. more...

Tillerson was a stretch, but Trump's playing this exactly right: put forward your stretch goal nominees, let a complete shitstorm descend around a couple people, and after all the outrage from the opposition is focused on them, drop them and replace with "compromise" nominees (i.e. establishment Republicans). talk about how you listened to "the people" and sincerely honored their requests for moderation. meanwhile, sneak everyone else through under the radar. then brag to your supporters about how you made a Great Deal and got 90% of what you asked for.

there is no one point at which Americans really say "enough", and even if we did, we don't really get a chance to do anything about it until 2018. by then, the next Great War On Something will have broken out, so it would be highly disloyal to vote against the wishes of the Trump administration.

... they often lean heavily toward the liberal/Democratic platform.

It's a different story after the propagandists are finished portraying the Democratic candidate as the devil.

Those voters sometimes have a lasting departure from their previous liberal leanings after they've attached certain ideas to their new Democratic "enemy" too. For example, I can't count how many times I've read stories about global warming and the deniers in the comment sections mentioned Al Gore... as if it was all his idea or something.

It will NEVER happen here, but I still sometimes wish we had a parliamentary-style government. They put party platforms more at the forefront during elections, especially since the party members choose their own leaders (even the prime ministers).
