Current Events > People LITERALLY preferred a person like Trump over Hillary

(+) Yeah! (+)

If the vote for president was a popular vote, people who didn't vote in 2016 because felt like their state was going to vote one way no matter what (like a Republican in California or a Democrat in Mississippi) may have voted.

The fact that Hillary won the popular vote means nothing.

I detest Trump. I despise Hillary.

*pats you on head*

I'm a middle of the road independent.

Trump is an incompetent sycophantic sociopath, Hillary is a conniving, manipulative, shrew.

See, the thing is everyone hates Trump so there is only so much damage he can do. Hillary on the other hand was just as corrupt and part of the political elite so she had connections to pull off some terrible back room shit, not to mention she was all about the pay to play. In the end she would do the worst damage.

I voted Johnson as well simply because he isn't Trump or Hillary. Call it a waste of a vote if you wish, but at least I can look at myself in the mirror every morning.

hillary had a decade long smear campaign ran against her by fox who convinced a generation of people she was literally the devil with a vagina

even in this topic there was someone who said she wasnt fit to be president despite her entire career being spent making her as qualified as she could possibly be for the job

yet she still got 3 million more votes than trump

MFW Fox is the only example you can use.

MFW you ignore talk radio and conservative outlets for 20 years

Yeah that Rush Limbaugh surely has had an influence in almost every single television show/movie that's come out in the last 20 years.

Social media platforms/policy and Silicon Valley in general are an extension of his show, too.

Academia really needs to change what it's doing, because Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly's hate speech seem to have infiltrated every college nationwide.

I'm pretty sure they just want to give the power to the rich and the politicians. Like pretty much exactly what socialism is.
