Trump stands for greed and wealth. He doesn't give a fukk about this country, he cares about bringing more wealth and notoriety to himself. Win or lose he was going to see a huge spike in his earning power with book deals, speaking engagements etc.

As we have seen in all of his business ventures, he will be looking out for himself and bystanders will be screwed along the way.
See the problem is that lower class white people get fooled by politicians to vote against their interests and think that blacks and minorities are the problem and the ones screwing them over when it's the people at the top. I don't realize how they can be so stupid, guess they jut like an outlet for hate:snoop:

It was always a convenient system for rich whites. Instead of having poor whites focus on rich whites, rich whites told poor whites they were superior to black people.. Poor whites took this bait and denigrated black people because they were economically in similar circumstances, but poor whites could feel socially and genetically superior.

Post Reagan, republicans have used this same strategy heavily. And it works because stupid angry white fukkers would rather hate mexicans, african americans, and/or muslims then focus on the group (rich whites) that take advantage of them.

Like you said lower class whites in america are a stupid breed of people,they dont know shyt about anything even within there own country,you feed them some cliched lines to hold onto and theyre hooked....make america great,take back my country back,drain the swamp...low class whites dont even know any of that means nor do they know what elites are or corrupt political systems,but they gravitate to the racism included with those punchlines...and you get a trump presidency....it makes you wonder how Obama got in 2 times with these same people voting.

This talking point needs to stop. Working class white people are aware that the people at the top are screwing them over more than you realize. Look @ the states Trump just won--Obama won those. HRC lost counties that Obama won that have been hurt by a loss of jobs, etc. Obama made Romney into this corrupt businessman, and Trump made HRC seem like she was that as well. They voted against the "elite" and for the guy who said he'd bring the jobs back. What gets lost in the polling data is that the South hated Obama so much that they skewed the total numbers of the white vote against him. He did much better than HRC with working class white voters during his runs. HRC was a deeply flawed candidate and then you get Tump riding a populist, nationalist wave and you get an L.

Moreover, white of all income brackets vote Republican. You guys have to go this notion of the educated white person that is not a Republican. That's basically only single, college-educated women. Every other white person votes Republican. Trump beat her in every economic bracket of white people.

I agree with almost everything you are saying, but the bold. Plenty of white people voted for Hilary and not just the college educated white women. Some of the states that voted Hilary are majority white: Washington, Oregon, Minnesota, Colorado, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware. Unfortunately a lot of those states don't hold a large number of electoral votes, and the south and middle America were all red.

As for what SVG said :salute:
