Some notable findings
Voters who switched from obama to trump believe Dems favor the rich more than trump or the GOP
40% of white working class voters believe "diversity almost always comes at the expense of whites
Sounds like the dem platform of unlimited immigration and globalist multiculturalism is box office poison!!

Diversity at its premise is a more equal playing field. So if there's an issue with that then the dominant group will suffer when diversity is promoted. Historically white people have been in more prominent positions economically. Continuing that trend is anfi progress and a step backward. Better our economy by hiring competent people based on their skill set should always be the first priority.
But it's tough to take someone seriously who picks and chooses what they believe is fake news to push their bias.
Honestly both parties are in the shitter, and the GOP is likely to be looked at in a far worse light after Trumps term is over. People aren't happy, and division is stronger than ever. Doesnt matter if you agree with it or not, whine all you want but the distrust and distaste for this administration isn't going away. Maybe this is the spark to ignite a different party to have a better chance at a presidential nomination. there couldn't be a more perfect opportunity for someone to come in and call out how bad our two predominant parties are, and that the fact we were given the two worst possible candidates to choose from shows there is something off in our system.

Actually I see it as the opposite.manbearpig said:
There are two choices in our current system, establishment (they have the power and run the show) or outsider.
We currently have an outsider. And what makes an outsider? He or she is outside the establishment. This means an outsider campaigns to break what is established. The outsider is elected because people are sick of the establishment.
An outsider doesn't have a chance to change things once elected because when elected the Washington establishment (and the corporate media owners, and any elite with anything to lose) is going to declare all-out war. It's happening right now.
Don't think for a second it would be any different if Bernie Sanders was prez. All out war - headed by media, Republicans, Democrats, and intel agencies - would currently be in effect.
So basically we're looking at a system where the outsider administration will have their ability to govern crippled by establishment and elites.
And with the establishment, we get what's established.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel. We're trapped.
Not to mention Trump has surrounded himself with the lowest of the low establishment scumbags...as well as a bunch of morons who can't seem to tie their shoe and chew bubblegum at the same time, much less accomplish, or even begin to propose anything of substance. I'm not saying you don't have a point Casa, but this administration (thus far at least) has had so few concrete ideas in the way of actual policy, there's nothing to block. Do you disagree?

Oh, he's done tons to make me not like him; failed on nearly every promise, hired the worst swamp creatures, and has just done dumb stuff in general. But like i said before, I knew i made the right decision on voting for him when I saw the tears on election night, and the hysterical whining from people like you makes all of his tardfuck decisions almost okeldoc said:

At least you had your expectations right when you voted for him. Looks like you just wanted to teach those damn Dems a lesson.ifallalot said:
