Donald John Trump: 2016 President-Elect
Duke Silver replied to Notwisconsin's topic in Current Events & Politics
The Trump Foundation story has been buried in a sea of shit. I agree w/ the OpEd I posted from WaPo the other day, by a Hungarian expressing concern based on what has happened in her country: if anything brings down Trump, it's probably be nepotism/self-dealing (though #RussianHack MIGHT do the same, but self-dealing would necessarily be a part of it, IMO). Anyway, I couldn't help but laugh at this quote from Fahrenthold's article: -
FFS, no need to worry about Trump & Goons starting their own state-run propaganda arm, MSM is gaslighting us all on their own. https://twitter.com/digby56/status/814308969749430273

This guy kinda sorta sounds like me (though I have always been a registered Independent who was decidedly conservative as a young adult but has actually become more liberal in adulthood). He definitely sounds like older friends of mine who were Republicans but have left the party over the past 10 years or so. Donald Trump and the GOP, I want my party back- 155 replies

I'm gonna keep repeating this until polls show Trump supporters can accept the FACT that he did not win popular vote, nor did he win an EC "landslide" no matter what he says. https://twitter.com/DavMicRot/status/810477307987165184- 8.1k replies

I have friends/family in Kansas, many of them voted for Brownback. Some of them admit regretting it, and a couple are in the process of moving out of the state. https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/814227255652155392 -

The Democratic Party of the USA
Duke Silver replied to Silver Raven's topic in Current Events & Politics
Juts a reminder that Obama & Holder will be focusing on re-districting; this has a huge impact on why Congress, among other things, looks the way it does. The most effective way to combat it? Get more Dems in state houses & state election boards. If you care about fair elections, get other like-minded people to care abut state/local politics/elections. https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/814146217039032320 -

Well, for Republicans, government action = loss of personal freedoms, ostensibly. That's what many Republicans in my life would say (Trump supporters as well as #neverTrump 'ers). I put it that way because individual analysis doesn't go that deep in the vast majority of cases, IMO. Other things like internalized attitudes toward racism/misogyny drive fears much more than nuanced political philosophy. JMO.

^^ I posted the same story in the OK what's next forum. Hell, the story itself is largely comprised of tweet arguments among the nazis. Not difficult to ascertain accuracy. -
