I like how white america can see all this and still the majority will support him.
As a white male myself I just take solace in the fact that whoever loses, I win.

History will say in 2016 minorities saved white people from themselves.The survey finds Trump ceding ground among traditionally GOP demographics, losing men to Clinton by 8 points and holding just a 2-point edge among white voters.
I am a white male in Florida voting for Hillary. My family, except for my 2 brothers, are voting for Trump almost solely for Tax reasons. Like single issue voter. Some of them think the racism present in the campaign horrible but they think Hillary is literally the devil who lies even more. Conservative Media has done their work down here planting that idea that she can absolutely not be trusted. That she will say and do anything to get what she wants, etc.I like how white america can see all this and still the majority will support him.
For christs sake really?
What the fuck is it going to take, white people?

It's all very depressing to me and I don't know how to approach them about it. It was hard enough to get my Bernie Bro brothers to get on the Hillary bandwagon (the racism in the Trump campaign made them realize the importance of their vote) I can't imagine the fight it would take to convert the others to Hillary.
He's losing in Georgia too. Georgia. Go vote people lets convert all these poll wins to actual results.

You can thank Middle and Southern America.
Even if Trump does not win, he has already won. He is far from a competent politician but the effect he has had on political discourse is irreversible. No longer are people with non-liberal viewpoints afraid to speak up, the most militant of liberals have shown their true colors as far as their thinly veiled contempt for differing opinions and democracy as a whole goes (even up to the point of committing violence), media biases have been exposed, both parties were caught with their pants down, and skepticism towards establishment politicans is at an all time high.
Thank you Donald Trump.
Heh, I was worried this would be a thread about Trump branded tanks :|

At this rate I think Trump will lose Missouri.
The south
I'm keeping my eye on Texas. They're very red traditionally, but the big cities have a lot of liberals, and lower Texas has a lot of Hispanics.
... Trump hasn't been kind to them.
Yep.At this rate I think Trump will lose Missouri.
Just look at the facts. Look at the demographic breakdowns of support for presidential candidates and polcies. If only White Americans could vote, this country would still look a lot like it did when only White Americans could vote.
Illinois here. Voting blue since '92! Also Hillary's home state, so I think we're safely against Trump.As a white person in Iowa which went blue in the past two elections and looks to do it again even with one of the whitest electorates in the country, try not to blame us, either.
Yeah me too! #notallwhites
At this rate I think Trump will lose Missouri.
As a white person out west, don't blame us. Blame southern and midwestern whites.
This isnt our fault!

This means nothing without going to vote 2018. Getting a Dem in the white house is only 1/2 the battle
We're gerrymandered to hell, it's not gonna happen till at least 2020.
I told you guys the majority of white people are supporting Donald Trump; people called my math questionable [Though, I am still wrong, but I mean it is kinda close haha]damnit
Missouri here. As a white person in the Midwest, don't blame us either! Several of our states are set to swing this year! Plz plz plz
white people pls

I hope so, we have a key Senate race and will have to choose between a new person for Governor since Nixon has met his term. I want Democrats to turn out and show up and win this thing. Last thing we need is a Republican triple crown and turn into Kansas.At this rate I think Trump will lose Missouri.
As a white person who actually cares about everyone in this country and not just other white people, I've just been forced to accept that I'm a kind of aberration.
Missouri was hardly contested in 2012. There weren't any major campaign events in the state, hell the total ad spending in the state was only 1.3 percent of what it was in 2008.If it swings it'll be minorities carrying y'all.
Romney won Missouri 65-32
California also went Romney amongst white folk
54-43
Pennsylvania 57-42 for Romney amongst white folk.
Minorities are literally keeping y'all from disaster.
Stop saying don't blame us.
Nice post.As a white person who actually cares about everyone in this country and not just other white people, I've just been forced to accept that I'm a kind of aberration.
I'm not going to do any of this, "Please don't blame us!" stuff. We're to blame, as a group. I was raised in this hateful shit just like most white folk I know. I grew up in California and Washington, super liberal places. But not in cities. My father's bookshelf was full of books by Reagan, Rand, Limbaugh, Coulter. He is a intelligent man, works for a tech company, very dedicated to his family, but also certain of the correctness of white male superiority.
Clinton was a name people spat when I was a kid, not something they said. In 2000, when Bush won, teenage kids my age literally linked hands and danced around the flagpole at school, celebrating "their" victory, looking for all the world to me like some kind of jingoistic cult. In 2008, when Obama won, my dad cried and turned to my mom and said, "My children are going to be slaves." The delusion is so real. Been on top so long, a large number of us have justified it by convincing themselves that personal freedoms and opportunities are a zero sum game. And this was an educated, middle class neighborhood in a liberal state. None of this stuff was particularly out in the open for everyone to see, but it wasn't especially well hidden either. I can only imagine what households more rural than that are like.
Other white people who haven't closed themselves off to empathy need to face the fact that our culture is like this head-on. We can't just let it keep going like this. If you grew up in a completely liberal household as a white person, please recognize that ethically, politically you won the fucking lottery. But just "being on the right side of history" isn't enough. We have to change this shit. We have to at least try, goddamnit. Simply divorcing ourselves from this insanity just seems to me anymore like good men, doing nothing. It not ok, it was never ok and it's gone on far, far too long.

...there really needs to be a "White People Acknowledging and Denouncing the Fuckery of other White People" national group. I'd sign up.

Why are there so many white people supporting Trump? They all cann't be racist shitbags, can they?
And then there's the "I hate PC" crowd which indeed stems from "Why can't I say things I used to say without being called out on it?!?" which indeed stems from racism.
I didn't realize it was that bad.
Apparently it is.
And the GOP is so FRANK about it too. "It's legal! What are you gonna do about it, minorities?"
Hopefully it'll either get better when we redistric.

I too feared for my social standing and, at certain moments, my life when I spoke the simple truth that some people are more equal than others, and certain groups (they know who they are) are freeloaders and parasites. Also: how about them queers?Even if Trump does not win, he has already won. He is far from a competent politician but the effect he has had on political discourse is irreversible. No longer are people with non-liberal viewpoints afraid to speak up, the most militant of liberals have shown their true colors as far as their thinly veiled contempt for differing opinions and democracy as a whole goes (even up to the point of committing violence), media biases have been exposed, both parties were caught with their pants down, and skepticism towards establishment politicans is at an all time high.
Thank you Donald Trump.
I don't know what your picture of a liberal marriage ceremony has to do with my righteous truth telling, but I can tell your heart was in the right place. Degeneracy is running rampant in our nation, and with every word Trump empowers people just like us to finally do something about it!Like this?
