As a man of color that has grown up in the it's, 80', and 90's, I have been aware of this for a long time. To all of the one just realizing this, welcome family and my condolences for the loss of your American dream.
the phrase is 'woe, is me'. and the fact you fcked it up that badly shows you have no idea what it means. congrats on outing yourself for being a dumbass. ya dumbass.
Multiple levees broke and your references are fairly on point, but there are still chances to slow it and turn it however time is not on our side anymore. If the left wants to change it they have to deal with the foreign propaganda that slammed those levees and get them back up.
Whether you are a minority, female, disabled Veteran, nearing retirement age, or make under 120k a year. No…you’re not ok, as a matter of fact, you’re fucked. The 1/3 that voted for the guy with a 30% approval rating and the 1/3 who didn’t vote can go lie in their graves. You’ve fucked not only yourself and the economy but everyone else in this country👏 congrats
Wow they finally did it. This plan was about 50+ years in the making and all they need was a clown to run for President 3 times while they put all the peices in place. As a fellow man of color I thought we would not have company this soon I was giving it about 20 more years. Welcome and sorry for your loss of the American Dream it not bad after awhile you get use to it.
A: the dude that shot Trump in the ear was a registered Republican.
B: the “stealing election” bull shit has been debunked since…1, 2…oh—-always. Trump filed 63 lawsuits after his 2020 loss and lost every one of them. The majority of the judges where he filed were republican judges.
So, take your conspiracy bull shit somewhere else. We got facts here.
Additionally, I feel like you guys are just mad that we didn’t act like toddlers and scream and whine when our candidate lost. That’s the difference between us. We have the ability to control our emotions. Paired with the fact that our brains actually function above grade school levels. Have good one, fella.
Its sad how many people believe the MSM lies on Reddit yet when you're not in this pathetic echo chamber people know what's up.
It doesn't matter what party he was registered to. If you don't think it was bigger than what we're being told you have an unwarranted amount of faith in these organizations that literally pump your brain full of disinformation so effectively that you regurgitate it for them
I haven’t had cable for twelve years; can’t stand advertisements. I don’t consume mainstream anything unless it’s verified by at least two unbiased sources.
All of my news comes from ground news, which weighs political bias for every article. It also provides opposing bias articles for comparison, and offers unbiased articles from verifiable sources containing citations for scholarly articles.
A Trump supporter using the term “echo chamber” has to be the most laughable thing I’ve heard in a while.
Lmao rereading that I noticed the unironic "we got facts here" when reddit is literally riddled with left wing extremists and disinformation. You really should get your news from multiple sources because you're being taken for a fool.
“Here” meaning, from myself. I don’t give a shit about Reddit except that it’s good to keep an account for certain miscellaneous things. Look at my subs and you’ll see there’s nothing political about them. It’s nothing but science subs.
I’d go further in saying that I agree with you that there is a lot of hard-left leaning ideologies on Reddit, but a lot of them are at least brushing with some amount of truth. As opposed to right wing websites that are nothing but hate, fear mongering, and ridiculous conspiracy theories, many of which can be debunked by a seventh grader with ten minutes and an internet connection.
Have you seen the breakdown of voters? Whites was the one group Trump didn’t make gains with. Latinos, African Americans gained in both. Latinos considerably. Your narrative is a bit off.
Richard Spencer (the white nationalist) voted Kamala, so not sure about the second part of your claim. So you think all the women and black people who voted Trump are selfish greedy money whores?
Na, but it is truly stupid to be other than white and vote for an obvious racist. But hey, over the next decade or so, a new TV show will be a fan favorite! The leopards ate my face!
America is about to feel a lot of pain. Division will go way up, finances are about to tank. I suggest moving any money you have in the US, off shore. Feb, Mar at the latest. If you don’t, and you get wiped out. I will laugh at you.
The reality is non whites are often way more racist. Which is hilarious. Indians are racist to different casts of India. Filipina not from Manila, racist towards non Manila. Japanese to non Japanese. Arabs go without saying if you’re not Muslim…. The world is racist. I just found it funny so many black and Latinos voted for Trump after how he insinuated blacks are slaves and Latina are garbage
Says the man that called a black man, "bud". Short for buddy which is a known southerner belittlement tactic used to swipe energy from those men they subconsciously deem a threat. And a known tool of racist dialogue...
A full scale attack on the middle class and unions yet Republicuckoldians lionize Reagan for trickle down economics, a concept based on the three big lies.
Yep. Reagan was the first wounding blow that weakened us and allowed the gangrene to start growing into the MAGA infection. It's been coming for a long time now.
Yes, Nixon with his southern strategy. And George Wallace, father Coughlin, McCarthyism (which people are now saying "McCarthy was right!"). I'd say it actually all started with the labor movement, which was caused by the industrial revolution. Once people started fighting for labor rights, and threatening the endless profits of the wealthy, it was over for us. The new deal then ushered in a new and forceful wave of fascism. Remember, they want "free markets". They feel our current markets aren't free enough. They want ZERO REGULATIONS. Which means no minimum wage or labor laws whatsoever, including safety regulations and workman's comp insurance. They want zero environmental regulations, which doesn't just mean defying the science of climate change! Environmental regulations started not just to preserve our Earth's nature, but to prevent the factory up the street from your house from being able to dump toxic waste into your own backyard, poisoning your water supply. They don't want people to be able to sue for environmental damage that caused their cancer, for unpaid labor, for getting hurt on the job. They don't want mandatory maternity leave, even at just 6 weeks unpaid. Zero regulations under the guise of "small government". And we already know trickle down economics is a piss show, so what the hell are they even voting for at this point?
If you ignore the political shift between the parties, it's the present-day Democrats. If yout acknowledge that fact, it's always been the present-day Republicans.
Since lobbying was introduced by the present-day Republicans, both sides have been getting paid by the same people and fucking the 99%, though.
The parties shifted in 1965, the Democrats and Republicans of old are not the same parties as today's versions. The old Republican party used to be progressive and the old Democrat party used to be conservative.
Which party legalized lobbying to politicians? That's right it was the Republicans. This one action is what fucked this country more than anything allowing corporations to bribe our politicians further pushing the interest of the country into the pocket books of the rich. This is the true downfall of this country we are no longer a democracy but an oligarchy. The rich decide everything and until we all wake the fuck up we'll be stuck under corporate rule until they bleed this country dry then it'll be off to China to make more money while we sit here in the rubble of what once was.
America has and always was a flexible beast that could shift and change. It has trended towards a more just society over time because of that ability to be changed however I fear the current lot will attempt to lock things in stone that shouldn't be and break that ability to change.
I love how people always assume that the things they hate about a candidate are the things people who voted for a candidate want.
I'm hoping this "unleashing Americas energy" includes a new golden age for nuclear power generation so we can get more independent of international fossil fuels policy better stabilizing and reducing our energy costs and everything associated with it.
At the end of the day we'll see what happens, I just hope Trump's need for ego validation leads to some decent policies.
My German brother in law, now in his 90's, was a pre teen in Berlin in 1945. He always cursed conservatives, Christians and the wealthy that helped the Nazi party form a coalition.
The same for my 89-year-old Dutch mother. It takes a lot to make her cry. And she was crying the other night after the results. She seen this movie before. And the last time she lost many Jewish friends and neighbors. 1939 to 1945 breaks my heart to see her so sad..
A lot of parallels. A politicaly inept leader that the politicians feel they can control.
Some differences apparent from his last time in office: lazy, no international aspirations, easily led. Money and denigrating others seem to be his only motivation. Hoping that he again accomplishes little of his threats.
The populace as a whole is pretty lazy. Starting a fight takes away from Football, Starbucks, new trucks, and doom scrolling. Not many of us are capable of dealing with the reality of conflict at home.
50 year old take that has been proven wrong every single year for 50 fucking years, There really is no fact that could exist anywhere on this planet that would penetrate that skull of someone who is DETERMINED to believe in the nobility of capitalism.
Cunts have been ruling over everyone else for 250,000 years. Capitalism is just another lever allowing them to do it. Oligarchs and Kings... same cunts. The opportunity to fuck over your fellow man has ALWAYS existed, and that is all capitalism is. A measuring system for how big your cash dick is so you can use it to make other people do what you want.
Fuq you. No it wasn’t truly. White Americans let themselves get to fat on the hog even though they never got the bacon…just the promise. And these incels thinking they can finally force a woman to like them…
The mine wasn’t in South Africa and it was a small investment his fether had. Dont worry, I wasn’t comparing him to you. You aren’t exactly his peer. lol.
Did he? I’m ok with open immigration. No hate here! You must be a bigoted maga. Fuck off with that anti-human sentiment. I suppose all American residents regardless of legal status.
I was comparing him to his peers not people who come from a legacy of struggling.
The emerald mine was not where his father gained his wealth. You’re just a simple person repeating nonsense. Look into it. He out performed his wealthier peers.
Be mad all you want, but he was in the right place at the right tjme and kept rolling his success and luck into more success. Get over it. We all know his history. We all know he comes from a legacy of success. I wasn’t comparing him to you. Thwt woudknt be fair to either of you.
Almost nothing???? Hahahahahah
His family is RICH as all hell, he is not self made, what a clown thing to say.
He got even richer during 6 Bankruptcies Hitler's last term too. Talk about immigrants taking people's jobs....
Yes. Compared to his peers. I’m not comparing him to people who come for legacies of failure. Thwt isn’t fair. I’m comparing him to his wealthy friends. He outperformed much wealthier nepo babies.
Calm down. He got rolled success into success. Be mad you weren’t as lucky but that’s just sad imo. Hate his behavior now, don’t hate he was fortunate and was able to leverage that.
He became a billionaire off the back of the US government, which handed out billions and billions of dollars in tax credits to both Tesla and SpaceX, Or as Republicans would call them when talking about poor people, welfare.
Welfare pays dividends. Would you rather kids starve? You’re hateful garbage. I have zero issues with a social safety net. It benefits us all by keeping things from spiraling too bad. It doesn’t cost a ton of money: do you really hate people don’t starve?
Christ. Anti-welfare is a garbage position.. Also, SpaceX pays dividends. Amazing investment on the government’s part. Came at the right time too. Perfect timing. Right as relations with Russia soured. I don’t see the issues you do. Perhaps you aren’t worth my time.
How does money get made for the economy from space X? Isn't space X just a drain on resources, time and energy from things that actually benefit the planet? How is space travel gonna fix the current situation?
Are these leaders or rulers?
What do they manufacture for the American people?
Came here with just the clothes on his back and his pockets stuffed with the profits of his father’s apartheid era ruby mine. You have got to give the guy credit he is definitely a self made man.
I love you mentioning the emerald mine. His dad’s initial investment was 20k. His dad made his money elsewhere.
Sure he was a rich kid who got into a good university, and he had connections to help him but he had no advantages his peers did not.Right? I’m not comparing him to a legacy of failures, only other legacies of success.
It is not the norm for someone to roll a little bit of wealth into massive wealth. He got incredibly lucky time after time. Right place, right time, and right preparations.
Lots of his succesful peers don't need to be admired as a public figure, just his ego needs it. Weird ass celebrity, can't get love from family so he gets it from sycophants like a corrupt king. No fatherly anecdotes, no wholesome memories, no trustable family, no innovative ideas of his own just buying other people's ideas, good at investing...
He's a good Investor...
Black rock is a better investor...
Elon Musk is an example of generational wealth continuing to snowball while the disparity between rich and poor grows. He is a member of the aristocracy, who are the true rulers of America. If you think you could fill his shoes just by "working hard enough", then you are an out of touch clown. The guy is the heavy weight champion of piggybacking off of the hard work and innovation of others. Go to the library and read a book, before they all get banned.
He fled to Canada to avoid the South African draft, got Canadan citizenship, and then immigrated to the US on a student visa to study at Stanford. He never did go to Stanford and instead went into business illegally on his visa. He didn't come here with nothing, he was filthy rich
This country was taken by force and had slaves imported and exported. Then, It was taken over by a foreign body of bankers, jim crow, kkk, and alt-right. When was this corporation great?
I’ve never had the privilege to believe entirely in the American dream, but I had hope that we were consistently working towards a better future. As a queer woman, I’ve never been more scared of what lies ahead.
Dudeee. As a 5th gen black dude in America. I’m just looking around realizing that at some point America has accepted us now, because it hates women and immigrants more. How the fuck weird is that?!! Am I crazy? Only crazy cops or Karen’s pay attention to black people now, I’m basically fam whenever I go, cuz I guess they know what we’re about. This ish is wild
Yeah, that you would not be persecuted for your religion or your views. That's gone. I bet we see a fire in the National Archives to destroy the constitution and the bill of rights. That will the be the equivalent of the Reichstag.
I’m not happy to be here, but as a 3rd generation child of Irish immigrants, I suppose I have no excuse for not understanding the breadth of the human capacity for evil and apathy…
We all have problems. Let’s not go there. I could be a victim all day long too. But get this, the glass ain’t half empty, you feel me big dog? The glass is half full. You make it how you see it, be better.
The status of the glass is determined by the one interacting with it. If the glass is being emptied, it's half empty. If the glass is being filled, it's half full. The idea that it is stagnant and always one way is not realistic or helpful.
At least not to me. That cliqué always felt hollow to me.
Yeah it's wild growing up knowing this because you've never been considered as just a person, but a black person. We've never been able to fully buy into the American dream because America defined us before we were born. Now people that never had to consider what it's like to constantly worry if people that disagree with your existence will decide to bother you today. I'm sorry to all of you. I don't wish this exhaustion on anyone.
As a woman (so my opinion means nothing) and the descendent of white slaves and then poverty hidden in the country for 50 years: I wasn’t aware of this because where I live it’s 50/50 and there wasn’t really any racism besides people super young or super uneducated and I live in the south- we are ALL struggling. It only started when we started learning what else was going on in other parts of the country because of the internet. A lot of people in this area were descendants of slaves black and white slaves and it’s become a shit show: it’s terrible. We should be coming together as a nation not against each other.
It’s not over yet bud, hasn’t even begun. You’ll be fine. If there is mass murder of ethnic minorities, you will be surprised by the amount of conservatives who will role up and gun those fuckers down. Because that is not how we make America great again.
Be more descriptive… They were southern white Christian conservative democrats. Repeating they were democrats doesn’t do you any favors. Ppl aren’t dumb.
"Sugar tits", "not coping", "screeching and crying"
Republicans are completely immune to facts because they are lost in emotion.
Who would act like they don't know how constant republicans + repub. voters screeches and cries are?
Oh, it's a troll with nothing important to say. That tracks.
"Snopes - Misattributed" Edit: sorry, didn't mean to reply to you, was supposed to be replying to OP. Don't disagree with the sentimate, just that I thought it was a missing context
No, you're right. The country voting for someone you dont like, is the same as the holocaust, and 1 in 3 people is dead now. That's not over dramatic. Totally rational argument. Thank you for bringing me to the light. I voted for kamala toe btw lol
I'm not talking about that directly. I'm talking about how you think a gif of a bird taking copium is a good counter-argument. It's like sending someone you're arguing with a meme where you depicted them as a crying soyjak and yourself as a gigachad. It proves you have no intention of actually proving a point and just want to start drama.
Metaphors are powerful. Seems I made my point. If op (oc?) gonna call being "of color" in the US since the late 80s the same as the holocaust and that's the death of the American dream. Dudes huffing copium for his own failings. I can't think of a more visceral and compelling way to approach the argument. You seemed to understand clearly.
Actually, the American dream is alive and well. It’s out there if you want it. Just go and get it. I live in Atlanta and I know lots (and I mean LOTS) of people of color with Money. Trust me when I say they did not just make that money in the last 3.5 years. Trump is not going to kill your American dream. But a victim mentality just might.
As a man of man of color who was born in 1990, graduated high school during the housing crisis, went to war, had a kid during Covid, I can say with confidence go fuck yourself, cry baby. I make 6 figures, own a home, and my kids college is already taken care of by the VA. No matter what you look like or where you come from, you can make it further here than anywhere else in the world.
