....and the current crop of politicians/do gooders only have themselves to blame,
they don't listen to "the people", they tell people how they should think, act and speak, the PC brigade have it coming to them.

Big time! - There is only so much crap the ordinary man and woman is going to take before they start reacting. And react they did.

As Roger Waters once said 'The great unwashed are starting to cop onto the fact that they are being screwed over by that 2% of the world's population that own 98% of it.' The chicken is indeed coming home to roost. This 'politically correct' nonsense that has plagued the planet for decades now is going to come under fire. And not just in America either. This is a global thing that's happening. Like I said before - the Talking Heads weren't listening. They were too busy being politically correct, posturing, analyzing (there's a word hidden within that last one), pontificating and surmising to even notice what was happening - and now the shit has hit the fan. Time for a bit of common sense to kick in and for everyone to stop being drama queens about the fact that the favourite did not win. Smashing in shop windows is not going to solve anything. The stupid break and take and the wise sow and grow. Been like that since the beginning of time. Always will be.

You got that right MH.
Can you imagine what the left wing media would be saying if it were the other way around.
Wait, I think HC already said it. What was that she called us.
JMO, but I think Miley sounded ridiculous. Their life is not going to change and that goes for Cher too.

This is so silly! As much as I could not stand Obama I did not sit down and cry in front of a camera. I just shook it off.
Sorry but she seems so childish. Like I said, these rich entertainers do not live paycheck to paycheck. Their lifestyle is not going to change.

I know they are saying LOVE EVERYONE but we are fighting for our very survival.
At least give Trump a chance before we start crying.
He has already backed off Hillary. Who knows what else he will back off .

She just a clueless kid. And from what I have seen to date - a pretty mixed-up one as well. That's what happens when you grow up in the spotlight.

I'll be honest, I also got emotional over this election result. I don't know why people assume the left are all rich and successful. I live paycheck to paycheck. To be fair, I put a lot of my energy, time, and expectations into the election and it left me disappointed as a whole. I'm glad it's over and I accept the result, but I'm not going to sit on my hands and hide during the next four years either.

strange
I have the opposite impression
people assume that of the right
we're all corporate or wall street elite
obviously both sides are wrong in how we depict the other
I often try and figure out what determines where we lean
fact is we are about equally divided between the 2 sides


Politics - Oceansoul - 13-11-2016

^ You're right. Some on the left demonize the right also. I don't think most people are the caricatures that the other side paints anyway.
