That was all women.
Oh i disagree. Sometimes people get exactly what their complacency or fucked up principles earned them.
And maybe in the future they wont be so fucking incompetent after the hard lesson is learned. Gotta force feed some delusional people.

Especially the bolded. Black women were the only demographic for Hillary that did exactly what they were "supposed" to do for a Hillary win. Otherwise, there is equal blame to throw around for every US demographic in regards to Hillary voters, but with suppressed voter turn out in states like North Carolina, I'd point more blame at Republicans.
Yea this is what amazes me the most.
I'm almost numb to whats to come over the next 4 years.

That's not always true: see Herbert Hoover and Jimmy Carter.
65.7 million votes for Clinton out of 136.7 million cast isn'r a majority under any definition. It's a plurality.

Neither of them had a peral harbor or 9/11 like crisis, did they?
The great depression was worse than 9/11 by a long shot. Those that voted for Trump are already in dire economic conditions. If that doesn't change under him, even they may see the light.
Few presidents have had a Pearl harbor or 9/11 like crisis. Those are two of the largest crises in American history.
Uh Civil War, Depression. War of 1812 with the capital literally being burned to the ground by the british

Cute, but:
1. Was from a lens of solely Clinton v Trump, because realistically independent votes are throwaways since they never stand a chance in your garbage two-party system.
2. She still got more votes than he did, I don't really care beyond that. I stand by what I ultimately meant - Trump isn't what the majority of American voters wanted by any means. ^^;
3. If you read, you'd notice that what you've said has already been said, and they've gone ignored because...
This thread has to do with Trump using Black non-voters as a claim to victory when in reality it's degenerates who vote party or bust that won this for him. That, and white or white passing individuals and their, "LOL, I got mine," mentalities.
Do you have anything to add to that, or are you staying stuck on that she didn't get the definition majority of votes because people think she's so crooked they voted indie when they couldn't stomach Trump?

I agree
But the point I'm making is that there was a clear enemy to portray that Americans could focus on. For peral harbor it was the Japanese for 9/11 it was al-qaeda (some blame the entire religion). Those who had nothing to do with it were still blamed for it.
Did the great depression have such a thing?
yes, it did. In fact, there was a horrendous targeting of Mexicans from 1929 to 1936 that forcibly repatriated up to 2 million Mexicans with no due process - most actual US citizens or legal residents - whom some Americans blamed for the Depression. In 2005 California formally apologized for this behavior.

Sounds familiar, dont it?
I absolutely am. People intentionally misusing and twisting language to suit their agendas is a pet peeve of mine and mixing up majority and plurality infuriates me.
They had Herbert Hoover. Very few people in the US thought that Hoover was doing enough to help them out economically. Hence the use of terms like "Hoover Rags" and "Hoover Flags" to describe newspapers and empty pockets. FDR promised change, so he was voted into office.
The demonetization wasn't nearly on the same level as the Japanese or Al-Qaeda, or I'd hazard to guess the Mexicans or Muslims in Trump's rhetoric, but that's likely because those are "outside" threats that feed into the deep seated Xenophobia in the US.
Even when Trump fucks everything up people won't hate him as much as they unjustly hated Obama because he's still a white man who "came from America".
Yup, cannot make the same mistakes as during his campaign and try to focus on every horrible thing this guy does. Pick one of the worst and hammer on that and don't let him change the conversation.
That's great, but that wasn't the main point and you're getting your panties in a bunch over nothing. Move on, or quote someone else who's gonna take your shit. Plurality or majority, my conclusion is valid. Still breezing over I'm only talking about Clinton v Trump and not Clinton v Trump v Stein v Johnson, tho, icicic. ¯\_(ツ

Yeah, that was the 'all women' number. Minority women were drowned out.
