Librul brainwashing

nytimes is a heavily biased source, pretty much all propaganda and not news.

Because accusing everyone who didn't vote for Hillary of being stupid wasn't part of the reason Trump won in he first place.

The liberal media have basically learned nothing and doubled down instead.

Believe it or not, when going to school for programming, we didn't bring up politics a single time. In English class, someone brings up politics, and there isn't a single southern white guy in class that isn't laughing at how ridiculous Trump is. There are a couple southern white guys, and they're making fun of him.

This topic is hilarious though. "Librul brainwashing! Hillary Clinton! MSNBC!" And also some people understand how society works beyond their angry talk show radio hosts.

Makes sense. I once knew a very conservative man who believed schools should only teach reading, writing, and arithmetic.

It might surprise you to know that you can - in fact - vote Republican but also make fun of Trump.

He's right though. Ever since Trump got elected i went up like 10 levels in white privilege. So happy about all the white guys first legislation he's pushed through!

tbh, it's a long-running propaganda among leftists used to shame people into voting their way and it's lazy, kindergarten level stuff: "Only stupid people vote this way. You don't want to be stupid, do you?" Even overlooking that education and intelligence aren't the same thing, the influence of higher learning on political leaning is more of a cultural issue than anything else and, even then, the culture is largely contrived at the top where liberal professors are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions who, in turn, tenure track liberal professors.

You mean liberal arts students are predominantly liberal? Who could believe that?! But sure, if you major in something useless and get stuck working at Subway, you tend to bring up politics a lot and strongly push for Democrats.

Generally speaking, the less impressive the student's major, the more likely they are to overtly take strong stances on politics (granted, many of the lowest-performers also go into public sector jobs so there's also a self-interest). The largest exception to the rule is science majors whose prospects rely heavily on government funding so you're going to want to push for the party more likely to shower you with money.

No the electoral college is a relic from the past where some states had a substantial portion of their population only count as 3/5 of a person. Thus making a direct vote impossible.

C'mon dude. You know the popular vote was insanely close to the point of it being incredibly trivial. It's ridiculous to compare that to the days of blacks getting 3/5 of the vote.

Also, it's totally a media spun story that he even ran on a racist campaign. The only arguably racist thing I can recall him saying was that a lot of illegal immigrants are rapists and murderers and then even followed that up by saying some are good people too. Left wing media ran with that though and suddenly overnight Trump hated blacks, Mexicans, and anyone who wasn't white

Uh... it wasn't a trivial amount.

People want to talk about how racist Trump's campaign was, but they seem to have forgotten how racist Obama's first campaign was. And by his campaign, I don't mean his platform or anything he actually said, but I mean how his supporters brought racism into his campaign by accusing everyone who didn't support Obama of being a racist. Obama literally won because he's black. Sure, I guess some people also agreed with his policies, but his victory was really just a result of the PC movement.

It's not a coincidence that black people turned out in record numbers far exceeding any other election. It wasn't his policies that got them out there

No, programming, English. My college doesn't offer any of those stereotypical classes. All the students have to take English as part of their major.

The teachers don't push anything down the student's throats, but I've yet to meet a single Republican. Well, I did meet one Republican. He didn't believe in evolution either. Librul campus propaganda!

In fact the most SJWey thing I've seen on campus was martial arts for women's defense, I was pretty disapointed because there weren't many other martial arts clubs, but whatever. Then there was the black male initiative club, which really isn't unreasonable.

Then there was that one chick trying to spread awareness about rape culture, but that was one chick, and you could tell she was living on another planet anyway.

Which literally has nothing to do with the electoral college itself and also would be an argument against anything dating back to that time. "Oh, the first amendment? That's a relic from the past where some states had a substantial portion of their population only count as 3/5 of a person."

Yet the electoral college is still what got him elected because the popular vote counts for nothing. Nor should it count for anything, given that it would give overwhelming power to a handful of larger states to the detriment of other states.

This lesson in fake history was brought to you by the same guy who claimed that the FBI can't arrest people and tariffs are unconstitutional! First off, if the US had stayed a British colony, that doesn't mean technology wouldn't progress. I'm not sure what level of stupidity was used to form that argument, but it makes no sense even at surface value. Had the US stayed with the UK, it would probably look a lot more like Canada. Thankfully it didn't.

Second, given that liberals are traditional anti-war and that conservatives are for smaller, more representative government, it was likely less a matter of liberals than it was conservatives. Doubly given that they were against taxation and for free enterprise (ie, business), where many of the founders helped build Wall Street.

Your college almost assuredly has a BA program and gen ed courses don't strictly only stick you with people from your same major, which is kinda the point of the gen ed program. And English classes are more likely to skew heavily liberal in general.

The Founding Fathers could be considered liberal since they pushed ideals that went against the conservative views of the time (and most colonists did not want to break away from the Empire)
And liberals didn't listen to others when inventing (Fulton didn't listen when he invented the steamboat, for example).
If conservatives had their way, you'd be living in a cave banging rocks. Liberals look ahead and are open to change. Conservatives are closed minded and prefer to live in the past and hate new ideas.
