Donald Trump

Somebody linked to an article I'd missed in a Reddit thread today. It has a video with Rachel Maddow (yeah, I know, sorry I triggered you, Trumpers) going over some poll results that show how exceptionally out of touch with reality Trump voters are.

Trumpers really are living in their own little false reality. I don't think there's any way to extricate them from their self-crafted Matrix, either. I've gone over this plenty of times before, but it never ceases to amaze me just how fucking delusional they are. They live fact-free lives. It's depressing how so many American's have had their minds poisoned to the point of uselessness.

We have evidence that they're wrong about everything. We try to give it to them, but they avoid evidence. On the rare occasions it reaches them, they deny evidence. Evidence doesn't work on them. Facts don't work on them. Nothing does. It's just sad.

while we are at Obama without teleprompter episodes:

@jennik: you should write for buzzfeed. Hell, you probably do

>unironically posting that dude Rachel Maddow

Top kek.

As I said earlier, fake news is a histogram activity. Yes, polling will indicate that Trump voters tend to believe some false things. I could do a similar list with Clinton voters, if I only had polling data.

As for the points in Jennik's linked article:
* Soros-funded organizations have paid for a minority of protestors; the majority are unpaid, Soros funded some of (not all of) the protest leaders, transportation, etc. Even a "Soros-funded" protest was mostly unpaid volunteers, and Soros is not the sole financial benefactor to such organizations, either (albeit a significant one).
* Thousands of illegal votes went to Clinton, but one million is unlikely, and multiple millions is literally incredible. It's likely that hundreds of illegal votes went to Trump, the result of uncoordinated mavericks. It's unlikely that illegal votes made a difference in any state for either candidate, as many illegal votes were for Clinton in states Trump won. Trump lost the popular vote.

What Rachel Maddow doesn't tell us in that article is the number of people that have completely fallen off the employment lists and have ceased looking for work. It also doesn't show underemployment either from getting hired at a lower level position, or having hours cut back drastically. Anyone who has paid attention to unemployment figures and articles for more than 2-3 years has heard about how the statistics don't represent these problems. I have a tough time believing R Maddow is unaware of them. If she is aware of them and presents this position anyways, she is being dishonest about what the stats show.

The methodology used to track unemployment hasn't changed. Why do you think the unemployment rate suddenly represents something completely different than it did 4 years ago? 8 years ago? 12 years ago? What is unique about our situation now aside from the fact that we have a black preside...oh. Never mind. Got it.

Posting some tiny charts designed to monstrously misrepresent the facts and lead people to insanely mistaken conclusions is also not helping your case. Well, I'm sure your fellow Trumpers fucking love that shit, since lying to liberals (and then believing the lies they just told!) is a favorite pastime of Trumpers.

And that article was as much of a dishonest fucking joke as all other right wing media. "He tried to fact check them, but believe me folks, they stand tall!" Bullshit. Check the actual fact checks on those little graphs of lies instead of yet another lying conservative telling you exactly the lies you want to hear.

Show me an honest conservative, and I'll laugh in your face, because such a magical creature doesn't fucking exist.

Shame on you, DL. You drank the Kool-Aid again.

It's official, the electors have voted for Trump XD.

Don't worry Jennik, you can always try to impeach him =D. Just make sure you come up with the saltiest possible reasons not based on anything relevant to him breaking any laws.



Here's me:

>preach about muh facts
>get triggered by facts that don't fit your narrative

Ayy lmao.

Just caught the news today. At least nine people are dead and about 50 injured after a truck plowed into a crowded Christmas market in Berlin.

What the rate represents has not changed. The level of underemployment (largely due to the effect of the ACA) is much higher than it was or has been. The number of people that can work that are not working is much higher - THAT is the difference, and it is what is NOT being reported on.

The majority of the public had already tightened their budgets before Obama came into office. They haven't really gone back to prior spending levels per capita, and in many cases are spending less. Obama failed to deliver on his Hope and Change, and his anti-business administration stifled any nascent economic optimism. The voters voted with their lightened and empty bank accounts in mind.

Take a look at your own economic situation and ask if you are happy with it? Do people usually go out and protest because they are happy about how things are going?

If things were so much better under Obama then they were before, we wouldn't have seen this break out:
