How is Trump doing among white women?
Hopefully, much better than "white" in general.
How is Trump doing among white women?
Murder? This is a party that is staunchly pro-death penalty in a justice system replete with racial inequality, has started wars resulting in the needless deaths of over a million people and counting, is supportive of restricting gun legislation despite tens of thousands dying every year and props up the corrupt police force in America despite the actual murder of dozens of actual innocent human beings. Please, tell me more about how sacred life is for these people.48% isn't an exception, it's within the statistical margin of error away from a majority. And a lot of those voters aren't behind him because they think he's wonderful, it's because they believe things like abortion is murder, and not voting Republican is the greater evil no matter what.
Yeah. "It's just the old people!" is a myth. Even in light of Trump's demographic support, some people in this thread are having a very difficult time accepting an unpleasant truth: The majority of white America has been racist since the country's founding and remains so today. It doesn't matter how uncomfortable this makes you feel if you're white and do not fall into that majority. No one's asking you to feel guilty, but face the truth and own it. The privilege to pretend this is not the reality of our country is one no minority has, I assure you.
not as bad as you'd hope.How is Trump doing among white women?
If white folk alone determined the President the US wouldn't have elected:
Carter, Clinton twice, Obama twice
Were it just up to the whiter voter the GOP would win every Presidential election
Democrats have lost the Presidential white vote 40+ years now.
If he gets anything more than 40% of the vote, won't be a moral victory.
Landslide this shit, America.

I'll give you that not all who vote GOP are racists. But all those who do are perfectly fine with its existence and that doesn't make them any better. And the 48% who vote Democratic or otherwise? I wouldn't be so quick to praise that group either.
As a whole, White America is pretty bigoted. The first step to addressing this unpleasant truth is acknowledging it, not desperately trying to excuse it out of existence because it's uncomfortable to think about.
That's not how it works though. The youth of today will mostly be conservatives in the future.
I'm not sure why this is so funny.white people pls
I'm not sure why this is so funny.
Something like that.that gif is perfectly spot on with the post text, it seams into itself and caused nothing but pure euphoria for the viewer
Hillary Clinton has 44% to Donald Trumps 40%, with 4 ppts margin of error, according to Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll.
Atlanta pulling that weight. About damn time, I think.
ThisYeah me too! #notallwhites

I'm actually proud of white people if Trump's lead is only 2% bc Romney killed Obama in the white vote.
I didn't support Romney but at least he wasn't a complete an utter idiot. It's funny that conservative pundits think a different candidate could have beat Obama, because no one in the GOP has the ability to take him and Uncle Joe on in a one on one debate, which was shown. Please proceed, governor.
white people pls
I may have misread your post. It's so late it's early and I'm pretty tired. Let me simply respond to the bolded, as I believe this cuts to the heart of what you're trying to say.I...think you wildly misread my post. You should probably take all that up with them.
Except for the racism thing. I think passionate equality advocates too easily lose sight of the fact that if white Americans on the whole were actually as completely bigoted as they say, civil rights simply wouldn't have ever happened. In 1968 the US population was 203 million. 178 million of them were white - that's 88%. Civil rights couldn't have happened if enough whites didn't believe it was the right thing to do. Likewise, the reason Trump can't stand up, beat his chest and admit he's racist is because almost all whites realize it's wrong. Racism may still happen, but the ethical debate within white America was settled a long time ago.
None of that serves to deny the existence of pervasive racism in America, that remains obvious. Only as a rhetorical counterpoint - that saying "whites are X and need to face that fact" is just incorrect and unfair.
white people pls

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a white man from Texas and I'm voting for Hillary.
You know, I think Hillary could have even more effective ads if at the end of them it showed a Google search bar or any search bar for that matter with some particular issue on Trump that the ad was about inserted, such as, "Google Trump Putin ties," so that people can know exactly what to type and have the very first hit inform them.
Similar to the trailer I saw for The Forest in theaters, where at the end it started to type out the movie's name in a search box on Google.
For christs sake really?
What the fuck is it going to take, white people?
Ok... yea, as a white person in the U.S I guess I have to finally admit it. Fuck White People in the U.S.
my inner conflict. Halp.
Sounds like when the southern strategy came into play. Demonize minorities to improve your party in the minds of southern racists pissed off about equal rights.
That shit ain't working anymore though.
That would be a good sign. All the GOP has left is the whacko factions. Religious extremists, xenophobes, racists, conspiracy theorist/Alex Jones people. Those are the only people I see voting for Trump in November unless Hillary literally goes out and murders someone in cold blood before the election.The lower we get it, the better.
I'd love to see Trump get the lowest white vote of any candidate.

I was explaining to a friend the other day that what's going on in the US election (and has been happening for years prior) is basically the same as what happened to Slytherin in Harry Potter. They started appealing to the far right to gain power, and all that did was push people further left away and attract even more batshit insane people to the party, just as Slytherin gained a reputation for being a house of racists and bigots, and so only racists and bigots ended up in the house.
The Republican party is basically becoming a stereotype at this point.
Trump needs to father a black child out of wedlock.

This means nothing without going to vote 2018. Getting a Dem in the white house is only 1/2 the battle
No, but his casual racism is easier for white people to ignore.Why are there so many white people supporting Trump? They all cann't be racist shitbags, can they?
You're proud that white people prefer Trump by 2%? Talk about success via low standards and expectations.
No, but his casual racism is easier for white people to ignore.
You've either been watching too much House of Cards, or not enough.
We're all living in the Onion now.
I would love to see his supporters reaction to this.

You can thank Middle and Southern America.
And I'll continue to be a broken record and parrot that the republican party is an objectively, factually, 100% EVIL institution. Like I don't even think Lex Luthor or Thanos was this evil.
"Casual" in the sense of "unconcerned," not "irregular." He doesn't give it a second thought. It seems not to matter to him.Are you seriously calling Trump's racism casual? The only way it could be more overt is if he lynched a man.
