Did Trump play Republicans like a fiddle?

I was talking to a fellow colleague at my university and he was joking about how Trump played the Republicans in the same way Obama played the blacks. (Is it okay if I say blacks? I'm not very formal and I mean no ill will towards any group, never have. I am new here and although I read the rules I don't want to be banned for an innocent mistake)
So I told my colleague that I voted for Trump and he mocked me. Saying I got fooled because Trump took a page out of Obama's book going for the black and minority vote to get elected. Trump in turn played for the redneck and middle class vote by playing on the most popular topics. Illegal immigration and terrorism. He called me naive and clueless for thinking Trump will actually build a wall or deport millions of Illegal Mexicans or Muslims. Why does every Democrat label a Trump supporter as a racist moron?
NO, I was not naive enough to think he would actually build a wall or deport millions of Mexicans or Muslims. That wasn't why my family and I voted for him. We don't want Muslims kicked out or prevented from coming in and if anybody believes Trump will do that I'd call them naive too. In fact Trump is already backing down on many of his extreme promises now that he's won and that was expected of course. We choose the lesser evil.
I voted for Trump because I want judges that will punish and deter not baby and rehabilitate and let out criminals on the streets to hurt us again, many times while on parole? I voted for Trump because I want the economy to improve for the less fortunate but ambitious and hard working. I want American money n jobs to stay in the U.S as much as possible and if greedy companies want to use cheap labour overseas than I want them taxed heavily for it. I want less hand outs for the lazy!
Most of all, I want the biggest issue corrected. This division across our country in recent years. I was born and raised in the U.S and never have I seen anything like this. We are so divided. Blacks vs Whites. Mexicans vs Whites. Republicans vs Democrats. People vs the fine policeman. And don't you dare defend those that hate on the police because of a few bad apples. Just like the Muslim population has a few bad apples doesn't mean we must fear them all. The same goes for the police. My brother died in the line of duty because he waited too long to pull the trigger. He did NOT want to take a life. But police protocol stated that he should've pulled the trigger. Now he's dead. This is many years ago. Yes he's dead and it was his choice not to pull the trigger I get that.
It baffles me how we don't see that black aren't going anywhere. Neither are whites.Neither are cops, neither are Muslims, neither are Republicans or Democrats. That's just the truth and everybody needs to accept that and not be delusional.
I see a lot of fellow Republicans celebrating and jumping up and down on this site. Just like when Obama won. It's not about shoving it in Democrats faces or vice versa when Democrats inevitably win again in the future, we still all have to work together. Just because we won doesn't mean the other people will just vanish off the face of the U.S. Why so much hatred back and forth? We have to come together and we have to unite. It's just like the workplace. Don't have to like you coworker but have to suck it up and get along to ensure productivity and efficiency. So if you don't like Republicans, or cops, or Democrats or Muslims or whatever, well suck it up and learn to get along and function in this society or maybe find another workplace/country.


Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Ramadan! Happy Holidays!! God Bless.

Jesus, two points...

1. Find another find color besides blue.

2. Paragraphs are your friend.

The difference IMO between Trump and the Stuttering Clusterfuck is Trump is not a career politician. He didn't do this for some kind of financial gain...if that's what he was after, he would have been much better off staying in the private sector.

And by not being a politician, he isn't beholden to any special interests or lobbies. That's a Grand Canyon-sized difference between not just those two, but damn near Trump and everyone in Washington.

I've said since Trump first declared as a candidate that I can only hope he means what he says and promises. If he turns out to be a lying POS, voters won't forgive him and he'll serve only one term until they find someone who will.

Oh, one other thing. You asked why dimocraps labeled Trump a racist? You might want to look back and research what they said about Bush, McCain, Romney, etc. You'll likely find the similarities to be striking.

The reason, though, is because that's really all they have in their arsenal. They also know their voting base is shallow and stupid enough to digest false and baseless talking points like that. Sometimes, it really is that simple.

Great Post.

Trump is a direct descendant of a girl called "Scota", Scoteeee is what other kids called her in teasing cuz her name was totally different than theirs or any name they'd seen really. She had strawberry blond hair and was such a Character, so Precocious and Precious with an amazing personality She Was A FORCE

at just 10 years old when her Mother passed away.

The Son of The Pharaoh who was her same age and later became the most famous of all Pharaohs despite (but in part due to) he himself dying at just 19 years old knew of Scota.


Scota was, Incredible. Akhu mandated to a society that had previously worshiped Multiple Gods:

"There will be just one God now."


Who does that? :):)

Become KING of a Large Society and announce that all the SHIT they believe is

over?


Long Story short: Concubines weren't allowed in The Palace or anywhere near it, for that matter. Akhu did not have many anyways.

One he did have tho was Scota's Mom.


History has this all fucked up. This girl is who Scotland is named after. And this guy Trump is her ancestor.



He is not going to mess this up.


All the Bloodline stuff tossed completely OUT, he never ever could betray Ivanka.




This is Camelot.

Lyve, Before Your Eyes. In Living Colour. You are Bless'd to Live in this time, to be able to Witness This.


More Bless'd than any other Generation has been.




I wish you knew.

Cuz then you would really really Marvel at This





whats to come

JDeuce, how's this? I don't want to be that guy that hurts everybody's eyes with annoying font.

I'm just fed up with the backlash I've gotten with coworkers who learned I voted for Trump. I voted for who I voted for. Had Hilary won I would not have whined and moaned. I'd be disappointed and move on. Still have a life to live.

I'm tired of being labelled a racist because I voted for Trump. You won't believe it but I'm being shunned by many at my workplace since I divulged to who I thought was a good friend who I voted for. He went onto to spread it around the workplace. I've never been racist in my life. I respect everybody based on their character. I could care less what color their skin is, their religion or sex. I'm educated and well rounded and have always treated everybody the same. Somebody drew a pic of what was supposed to be me wearing a kkk hat. Mind you I work in a university with so called great minds. This is their childish behavior.

Somebody drew a picture of me wearing a kkk hat in the lunchroom board. I knew it was supposed to be me cause of my goatee and hair. Found out who did it. Not sure how to play it. I won't let them get away with it. Ironically it's more of my fellow Caucasians labelling me racist than minorities. What's that say about Democrats? I don't normally attack them but who appointed them to look out for minorities? The minorities themselves don't even care that I voted for Trump by the looks of it. They treat me the same.

Now I won't doubt that many Trump supporters are uneducated racists that voted for him incorrectly thinking minorities would go away magically lol. That America will be ''white again'' But I'm not that clueless. It's not right for them to label all Trump supporters as racist. Not just your average joe but educated people, celebrities, some of my favorite ball players are reacting the same way. I can't wait till this all blows over, the election results I mean, and things go back to 'normal'

I think it's quite evident & crystal clear that a far greater percentage of those who voted AGAINST Donald Trump, did so for racial reasons.

The majority of Trump-voters are just sick of the same d BS & see things for what they really are.

A great percentage of Hillary-voters did so because they didnt want the white guy to win & knows Hillary was Obama's puppet...

I think we all can agree that Trump only won because he was up against a terrible and doomed from the start candidate. Although I voted for Trump (even bet on it) I would bet the house that Democrats will regroup and get back in office again next time. That much is for certain and I can concede that to the Democrats.

I've actually had a discussion about this with my students in class after the election and both sides agreed. About the only thing they could agree on lol.

I think Trump supporters are extremely happy with how President Elect Trump is conducting business. He's done nothing to suggest he's backtracking, and we absolutely love his cabinet picks.

Conversely, his political opponents are mad has hell, they're still kicking and screaming and behaving like petulant brats, they're learning the election has consequences which they don't like

Anyone suggesting we have buyer's remorse is silly

Those Who Condemn You Now are buried above their eyes in a perception of their own Ego.

Blinded by that they are compelled to tell You how they feel bcuz chiefly what they FEEL is that they know more than You do.

The Reason they feel this is solely bcuz of EGO fueled by a fire we will discuss later, if you are here. Bcuz to discuss this now detours and its not important what fuels their obsessive desire to Shame You by showing that they are smarter than you, by laying words that try and paint you as a fucking Dipshit


Always and Forever, as long as Humanity has existed, there has been masses of people who within them had only an ability to Follow.


and a few who Lead.


Those fucking followers. Those fucking Mindless Followers who sit and bitch and whine and moan and cry




Why would you EVER allow a Lost Moron who was willing to install that Beast Hillary or that Old as Fuck SellOut Pretender Bernie

to say shit to you? In a Debate Fashion?


Like Paying Brandon Lang for Pix. that shit ^^^. I just cannot grasp where you are coming from being concerned with what those who are capable of just Following


"think."

Yes.

Conversely, his political opponents are mad has hell, they're still kicking and screaming and behaving like petulant brats, they're learning the election has consequences which they don't like

Consequences that will make their Grandchildren able to live in a country hopefully even BETTER than The Paradise we were able to grow up in

thanks to the sacrifices of many many Great Men.


The greatest source of their Anger is that they were Wrong and with each passing day they have demonstrated, before their Wrong eyes that they were even more Wrong than they thought.


They got prescribed Ritalin and whatever else, fuggin Neural-Killing shit cuz they were Wrong as kids, fuggin Prozac....


to make them less Wrong but that shit backfired massively.

Why so much hatred back and forth? We have to come together and we have to unite.

Do you seriously see The Left talking about "Uniting" with anybody?

Or, when you listen to those whining do you hear some thing more like: "My Way or No Way." "I wish you'd never been born." "Your Mother should have aborted You." "Piggies Piggies Fry Them Like Bacon" and more words that Call for War?


Why are you calling for us to unite when no one here is demanding War and they are?


Have you considered asking those who are insisting upon War, for Unity?

Asking us for Unity instead of them is alot like ragging on The Dalai Lama cuz some Chinese Soldiers slaughtered some Monks.

No. I'm saying both sides have to unite. I stated that the Democrats were the same way when they won. The same way they will be when they inevitably when next election. I'm not saying one side worse than the other. Both sides have to stop attacking each other and stop acting so self righteous. It's just difference in opinion and politics, doesn't mean we have to hate each other.

I walk into my daughter and her husband's home and say I vote republican (even before Trump) and they look at me like I'm certifiable, racist, uneducated, backwards, closed minded and basically a religious nut redneck. My daughter and her family walk into my brother's home and say they vote Democrat and my brother and his family will look at them like they are sinful degenerate heathens lol.

My point is the animosity and hatred and self righteousness is silly. Especially when neither republican nor democrats have done anything great or will do anything great. All said and done it's just picking the lesser evil and even if one president does a little better than the other, pros and cons tallied it's not that big of a difference. We bark n bite eachother while they line their pockets with big money, take private jets and fancy dinners on our tax dollars. That's reality. It boggles my mind how people sit and waste their time arguing over politics as if it personally affects their lives so much.

When Obama won many, not all but many blacks cheered as if all of a sudden they just beat the white man. Many were very arrogant and sneered and made remarks to random white people on the street. (seen this with my own eyes)

When Trump won, I'm sure many racists are pushing their chest out as they walk past mexicans, blacks or muslims thinking yeah you're out of here. Reality is..nobody is going anywhere. Obama doesn't care about blacks he cares about himself. Trump isn't out to make America white again yet these kkk groups and neo nazis etc are going crazy thinking that's the case. I don't know. If higher forms of life are out there and watching us I'd say both sides look very very stupid.

NO, I was not naive enough to think he would actually build a wall or deport millions of Mexicans or Muslims. That wasn't why my family and I voted for him. We don't want Muslims kicked out or prevented from coming in and if anybody believes Trump will do that I'd call them naive too. In fact Trump is already backing down on many of his extreme promises now that he's won and that was expected of course.

Is this real? You voted for him with the hope and belief that that he wouldn't fulfill his campaign promises? If Trump is somehow unable to build a wall on the Mexican border it will mean we have another four years with a lazy, weak, lying President. And that's what you want? How is that a good thing for improving relations between Americans?

I voted for him understand as an intellectual that he will never fulfill his most extreme promises. I understood that all politicians lie to get the win. I voted for him hoping and believing he will be firm against crime. That he will not cater to the lazy. That he will try to help small businesses and heavily tax the large ones that choose to take their labor to China and other countries. That's why I voted for him. Hoping that he makes good on some of his more realistic and sensible promises. Not the far fetched laughable ones like kicking and keeping Muslims out or deporting millions of illegals etc. Believe me these things aren't happening.

If anybody truly believes he will do things similar to Adolf Hitler then maybe they need to reevaluate how bright they are. Hey, he may surprise me and build a wall but noway he kicking the already millions of illegals here out or kick Muslims out or even so much as have them wearing name tags. Trump won't be doing any of these things nor should he. Well, the illegals that have committed crimes here. They should be deported. Hope they are. But deporting millions of them? Lol Yes, he's made some outrageous claims that he will never accomplish or even pretend to try to accomplish.

We already know he's a liar. Every politician is. It's just a matter of how big of a liar he is compared to Obama. Which is what we'll learn in the coming months and years. As I said before, He can't be worse than Mr.Obama.

No. I'm saying both sides have to unite.

How do you manage to accomplish complete and total lack of consideration of the fact that they consider themselves better than those who voted Republican?

You propose an Idyllic World that yes would be Magickal without handicapping the reality of the Players Involved?


You'd never do that before betting a Sports Event.

Why do you "make this bet" on Peace as possible and just completely ignore that they hate us?

And they always will bcuz their World View is that they are Smarter, Better, More Attractive, vastly Gifted, existing to Save The World and we are Deplorable pieces of Shit.


For that Unity and the rest of the Utopian Vision you describe in your post to happen would require a Class of people who consider themselves to be Elite embrace Millions of Deplorable Pieces of Shit. (In Their Eyes)

When is the last time you went up to a Bag Lady,sleeping on a dirty piece of cardboard under a bridge in Astoria and in front of your friends, kissed her on her puss-filled mouth?

Would You Do That?


If You knew that simple act could save the world?



Show me just once within the entire history of this Planet that a Class of People who's entire identity was built upon believing themselves to be Superior even listened to a suggestion of "unity" from a being that they considered a less worthy peasant



let alone actually sought to "unite" with a Class they considered to be equal to Walking Shit.



That may not be The Dynamic between you and your Family, you and your friends or co-workers bcuz You and them have walked some patch of Road Together and you are basically Them

But They that are whining incessantly are not US, thats not what this country was designed to be: a place where those who Produce The Welfare and Safety are Spat Upon.

By skinny weak no muscle tone having WhinyFucks.

Who Nasal Whine words about how they are better than a dude who could slay them with a single fucking strike to their throat or their nose.


These Little Bitches need to Stop Fucking with The Power.

See the above post is what I'm talking about. It's overly dramatic. It's unnecessarily defensive.

Skinny weak no muscle tone...I didn't realize all democrats were skinny people with no muscle tone and a nasal voice.

Slay them with a single strike to their throat or nose? Such strong violent words. I'm sure there are some democrats out there that can slay me with a single strike also even though I'm 5'11 and 210lbs muscular. What does that have to do with anything?

Fuck with the power? You and I aren't the power just because some guy who ran for the republicans that we voted for got elected. Especially since he's more liberal than anything in practice. The same way the democrats didn't have power over us when Mr.Obama was in power or when democrats win next election. We all have to work together and I never said we should all hold hands and sing songs together. Civility is what I'm saying is needed. Maturity. That's what a society needs. The democrats you describe are the extremist ones not all democrats. Just as there seems to be a lot of extremist republicans around.

I might be a lifelong republican until the day I die but I will never think the way you do or how many extremists think. Time to stop with the theatrics and cringe worthy melodramatic speeches.

The democrats you see on tv are the extremists, the ones burning U.S flags, reacting so badly, just like the racist republicans that you see on the news that are making racist remarks to minorities while boasting of Trumps win don't represent me as a republican. It goes both ways.

I would not being saying ANY of this stuff you object to were it not necessary in response. My entire Life has been spent in the exact opposite of Conflict, but if Conflict is brought to my door I'll have a response.

I like that you don't like the response, I don't like it either and it should not be necessary but the Conflict they're bringing is trying everything they can to Interfere with an Election and derail a candidate elected fairly who, were they to give him a chance, would make their country safer, more prosperous even improving their own lives and moreso the lives of the Black & Brown people they claim to care about.

And Yes, those protesting most vehemently have Zero Muscle Tone. OK, there is ONE guy from CO, Electoral College guy who is whining he appears to have Lifted, at some point but thats it, just him. I did not say "All Democrats have Zero Muscle Tone", I grasp that this was implied in my post as it was a response to a call for Repub/Dem Unity but I did mean those protesting (in streets & in political arena).

I'd Love Unity, I wish it was possible. As Cat Stevens said: "I was once like you are now" You, with your sincere belief that Unity could be made to happen.

You've failed to show me that even one example where, in all of World History under the circumstances we face, UNITY has been the outcome, where that has actually managed to be accomplished and you also conveniently ignored my citing of the Fact that Our Opposition does consider us to be Deplorable, Stupid & Worthless.

Thats The Bridge Too Far. For Them. To Cross. So I dig why you elect to ignore and not address that Reality, bcuz it would force you to acknowledge that Yes, Unity is very unlikely to happen here.

"The Power" was a term I employed to mean: The Producers, those who have created and built Infrastructure here, those who maintain this, Our Military present and past to whom we owe the most greatest of debts.

We really are having two separate conversations here: You're talking Republican vs. Democrat and I'm talking Sanity vs. a Movement to derail our Democracy so that Liberal Agendas can become The Law of The Land, legislation which would place our country and our families in terrible terrible Danger.

Given a Chance D.J. Trump will likely succeed in carving out Unity 'tween Democrats within our general population and Republicans.

My Objection is to that percentage of incessantly whining weak among us who are trying all that they can think of to rob him and US

of this opportunity.

Protecting these people, these protestors (street & poli arena) from the dangers of this world is like trying to shove a camel thu the eye of a Needle.

I grasp that their brains are damaged from being over-medicated in childhood, when their brains were developing, and that Democrat Politicians who're actively trying to destroy Our Democracy have to Serve Their Masters but these things are not valid and good reasons
to flush the Safety of my and your children down the toilet, to just lay down and allow the ushering in of a country like others where our White Daughters get beaten and brutalized in the street by subhumans.

Anyone with the sense that God gave to a Grape can see that Trump, by his actions since Nov 9, is very +EV for this Country

and any who're objecting, scurrying about trying to derail his valid election are doing so to fulfill their own Agendas.

Rather than talking "Repub/Dem Unity" you (and we) need to focus upon getting the Snakes out of our garden.
