Right wing propaganda works just as well on minorities as it does on white people. Self loathing is a helluva drug.

So that must be it then. 62 million secret racists. Nobody ever wanted to admit it.
You think with such a large number, they wouldn't have to keep it a secret. That's really a mystery.
Nothing secret about it, that is what is so sad about it. Most racists don't even see themselves as racist.

I know. Especially because they were so racist, they still voted for Obama/democrats last season.
But in 2016, somehow the Republicans manage to get it right this time and made every minority and partially left leaning person racist, but never made their plans public.
Only the absolute woke Hillary voters could see through this with their x-ray vision that would make Superman jealous.
I know you like to be dense on purpose, that seems to be your thing for some reason, but it should be obvious that it is possible for a racist to have voted for Obama.

Comments like this are exactly why Trump won.
Thanks for your insight, real good stuff.
You're like a character out of Get Out. Voting for Obama doesn't mean you aren't racist. Its not some get out of racist jail card.
The electoral college is why Trump won.

Obama's presidency had everything to do with fighting racism. Why would they vote for him and not McCain and Romney if they wanted to be racist so much?
Really? You just said it had to do with some random comments on an internet message board?
Just because he was black doesn't mean his presidency had everything to do with fighting racism, where the hell are you getting that from? lol

So when his administration funded body cameras on Police officers, who was that benefiting?
Do you really think Obama is suppose to some white supremacists first choice, WHEN OTHER CANDIDATES WERE RUNNING AGAINST HIM AND STILL LOST?!?!
Because racist people can get swept up in "Yes we can" as much as black people can swept up in racist right wing propaganda. Stop acting like this shit is some great mystery.
Guess what else racist people do? They reference the name of MLK quite a bit in chastising black folks in how they should protest. Does them somehow speaking highly of MLK make them not racist even as they use his name to denigrate modern day black people?
Yep, that is all Obama did in office, funding body cameras that only benefit black people and no one else.
Are you saying that not a single racist person voted for Obama? Please tell me that is what you're saying, I could use a good laugh at the ignorance.

So they just turn off their racism for 8 years, then when Trump comes into the picture, they flip their switch and now they're racist again.
Why even wait that long to tell the world you're racist?

In this thread: Russian meddling, widespread voter suppression, and a 20-year-long smear campaign against Hillary Clinton didn't matter and had zero effect on the election at all!
y'all... just...
Come on now.

Come on now.
Just because you are under the delusion that a racist person couldn't possibly vote for Obama doesn't make it true.
Amazing how that works. You can be a racist and somehow be not racist in public for two days out of 8 years.
We're all racist babies, so technically most of the country was a racist that voted for Obama.

Because electing the first black president TWICE is somehow justifiable by Mr. KKK voter for 8 years, but electing a white woman was the absolute breaking point in terms of race?
You guys need to understand how ridiculous this all sounds.
You can be racist and not a member of the KKK. Not every racist is burning crosses in a black families yard while wearing white robes with a pointy hood.
You're the one whose being ridiculous because apparently voting for Obama means you're not racist and racists are only those who are so obviously racist you can't ignore it.
Not nearly as ridiculous as believing not a single racist person could possibly have voted for Obama, that is some next level shit.

You're automatically assuming that everyone who's racist or feels some sort of racial anxiety/tension is a full-blown white supremacist skinhead.
That's not what's being said.
You can be racist and not even realize it. You can vote for a black man because you like his promise of hope and change while still crossing the street to get on the sidewalk opposite of a different black man at night. You can be charmed by the charisma of a black man who's a great orator and running for president while simultaneously believing that most other black people live in ghettos.
People are nuanced, complex creatures and are very rarely just one thing. To assume that every person who engages in racist thoughts and behaviors is an extremist with Nazi tattoos on their knuckles is what's really ridiculous here.

Outwardly self-identified racists in Chicago have professed appreciation for and voted for a black mayor. Racists listen to black music and watch black athletes all the time with no complaints there. Some racists will like minorities that they think transcend their race. But the can still hate other races as a whole. They're still racist.

Stop saying things. Try listening.
You're correct, you don't know what to say as we all know that when you're argument is strong you have to go to conspiracy theories and hearsay from anecdotal evidence for the truth.
First of all, let's stop with this dumb idea that you gathered "evidence" from Trump voters on a forum where if they admitted they were racist would be immediately banned, there is no insight to be gained there.
Secondly, all you have to do is google "racists who voted for obama"

wait what are you even arguing about?
I don't know if you realize this but Obama didn't get 100% of the vote in either of his elections
and people sure as shit weren't hiding their racism during his terms, though they were a bit more subtle about it before Trump made it OK

This is why most people see the left as a caricature. A freaking joke.
Everyone who voted for Trump is a racist and minorities that voted for him have self hatred and women who voted for him have internal mysoggyknee.
Hahahaha. Fucking ridiculous.
JordanN, like I previously said, your patience and restraint is exemplary.

Nice strawman you got there, if only you could form a coherent statement maybe people wouldn't be laughing at you.
Minorities didn't vote for Trump on self hatred alone. Some were greedy too.

So minorities that voted for Trump are either greedy or have self hatred. But minorities that voted for Hilary are either benevolent and love everyone.
Seriously, the left is a parody.
People who post on internet message boards about video games are not your average people.
As I've said elsewhere. My town voted almost exclusively HRC (almost 90%). We are one of the most prosperous, educated, and safest cities in the entire country. No one here knows what the fuck an SJW is.
Everyone just assumed people were not stupid enough to vote the obvious imbecile into the highest position on the planet.
I'm sorry if people on the internet hurt your feelings, but you really need to get out more if you think these people represent the people who voted against Trump.

Nearly 3 million more people voted for Clinton than people who voted for Trump, for the record. 40% of eligible voters didn't vote for President at all.
Seems like there are or were posters here who think or tried to assert most americans voted for Trump.
The claim that most people see the left as a caricature doesn't really hold up when you consider more americans voted for the Democratic nominee over the Republican.

The best part about this post is that by ending it the way you did, you proved that you read the new forum constantly. You probably even signed up for an account.
Embarrassing.
(Those damn "far-leftists" though, right? lol)
It's part of the same dumb fantasy narrative they've created that blames liberals for making them be racist. In their tiny little minds, every shitty thing they do or say is someone else's fault. Those liberals got so crazy I had to start voting for racists, so don't blame me!

It's not really a secret I know about the other forum. I've posted my thoughts on it here before.
But the fact they already banned certain topics and have an open communist group doesn't inspire much confidence. Will someone create an Ethno-Fascist community there to balance things out? Both ideologies are highly murderous. Or does only Communism get a pass on the new website?

Most folks don't know what voluntaryism is, so I say libertarian to most. Used to say ancap, but the alt-right has slowly been taking over in some of those circles.
I'm one of those who did not post in political threads (or in general too much really) because I was laughed at for having a different opinion. Which is probably one of the reasons I did cry the night I read that Gaborn had passed away, they had a way of presenting things and standing their ground that I simply do not possess and completely admired.
I suppose the thing that bothers me the most about people who attack my view points is the whole, "you're just in it to get yours and fuck everyone else." No, I simply have a different point of view than you do and if you showed me the same respect I do when I read your opinion, maybe I wouldn't always have my panties in such a giant twist!

You can only listen to bs so long before you get tired.

Alt-righters and Ancaps still hate each other, because alt-righters want to be ruled by a dictator and demand a planned economy that favors race, whereas Ancaps want private property at all costs and oppose collectivism/statism.
At worst, there is overlap between Ancaps and those who support "race based IQ studies", but the two groups are politically opposed to each other.
It's funny when you think about it. It's why they hate SJWs. They're victims. But no one is standing up for them.
Someone in this thread changed their political beliefs because of the purge on GAF. Isn't that amazing? Neogaf means more than the real world.
True. Some of them were just stupid.
But it is also fair to assume that most people voted for Clinton because they did not want Trump. It was either pest or cholera at this point.
Nope. I know its hard to believe but a lot of us were pulling for her from the start. She beat Sanders by an enormous margin.

"Clinton won the popular vote" has got to be the most salty phrase ever. It's tantamount to saying "yeah we lost the soccer game but we had more ball possession". Very pathetic.
