tl;dr post again, mostly valid points this time.
I'm under the impression that it's generally difficult to emigrate into this country legally. I've heard 3+ years even with money and family already established in this country. (there's also a fee many can't afford). (I'm sure the white person/refugee timeframe is a lot shorter, I only have one source on the 3+ years comment tho) Enforcing laws and building more walls will just make that timeline worse because they certainly won't add more $ for more immigration officers so that will encourage people to get here quicker (thus making more illegals). I believe the worst on this issue is in south florida and not the official border tho anyway. The solution is not, and I repeat not, going around to people's homes and entering them by force and dragging them out. There's already a guy trying to run for VA gov who blatantly said he will do that.
Trump's gonna spend at least as much on the military as hillary planned to despite that we already spend far more than we need to; so the "he's less likely to go to war" talk isn't accurate, it just changes the location from russia back to the middle east, trump literally said that we should just take the middle east's oil and I'm guessing they're not just gonna hand it over. You forgot that both parties are very, very pro war. We've already spent over a trillion on a plane that doesn't fly (this was republican btw) so any talk of less military spending under republicans is just plain wrong and the banks not profiting a lot from it (as trump's gonna repeal the latest bank regulations, you know all the ones that came after they all badly fucked up so they can go fuck it up again)
Trump's so anti establishment, all the non business cabinet members will be established republicans. Guess again.
Countries run by dictators all are happy trump won. Good this is not.
They will at least try to do every terrible thing they said. There is no "they wouldn't do that"--that statement is total, I repeat total nonsense. All of it, they're at least gonna attempt to do. All of it.
Anyway,
Dear people that hated trump as much as I do being mad at those that didn't.
Yeah, they voted for trump, no, they aren't racist or stupid, for many their main issue this election was pro life or jobs over everything else and that's where they voted. Hillary wasn't gonna do a damn thing for them on either. Realize they voted for their most important issue over the rest (or were alphas voting for another alpha or love alphas, etc) and move on.
Dear people that are mad they're being called things for voting trump.
There are literally millions of people who share those values you could've voted for and instead you went with the one saying ridiculous racist and sexist things and has done roughly a million things that should've DQ'd him from ever being president. Instead of telling people if you don't like it leave because that's just being an asshole and encourages the behavior that the other side is, fair or not, scared of--seek to reassure that the racism/sexism crap won't be tolerated. It'd go a long way and we'll need you, because they're definitely going to try literally every single terrible thing they said. Yes, they are. The people you just voted for seriously think you agree with it. All of it.
It's also frustrating to many that childish behavior in blocking nearly everything the other side tried to do and not appointing a supreme court judge for an absurd amount of time got rewarded. How the heck was the supreme court supposed to go over a year with an even # of votes ffs.
Moving on, regarding pro life vs abortion, I'm more on the pro life side but I vote abortion side because I can't do so in a zero exceptions way like you all keep insisting despite some very valid scenarios and I also feel very strongly that a bunch of old men shouldn't be able to make and enforce laws about what women can and can't do with her own body. At the very minimum, can you all please drop the attempts at preventing equipment that helps prevent women who clearly aren't ready to having kids and instead shame them into having them and then be willing to do exactly nothing to help them out later? It'd help a lot.
Dear people who are complaining about people who didn't vote complaining.
This system turned out what everyone admits is two bad or worse candidates and the third party ones all sucked too. What else are they supposed to do?
1) Many people who wanted to vote and even many who did 4 years ago couldn't this year because people don't have the right to vote in this country anymore as voting rights got KO'd by supreme court. If you are homeless, too bad can't vote you have to register an address. Can't afford to pay us for the ID or birth certificate copy you need to get one? Too bad can't vote now. This is intentional to keep people from voting and you just supported that and it'll just get worse with that party in charge. It was enough this year to flip WI red and maybe kept NC/FL from being blue in the end so I guess you're cool with that. I'm not cool with eligible people being unable to vote in america myself.
2) rural white votes are worth a fair bit more than urban votes.
1 vote doesn't equal 1 vote, that's not right.
3) vote is literally meaningless in over half the states. It's hard to vote when there's literally 0% chance of it mattering.
4) they keep taking away polling places in areas, so the average time it takes to vote in some areas is significantly higher than others. Spoiler alert, it's not the places whites live. Don't have the means to get there? too bad can't vote.
5) we vote on tuesday, many people can't to take off work for whatever reason to vote. We should've moved this to a saturday or make it a national holiday a long time ago.
So, that's why some don't vote, it's a silent form of protest against what is still clearly an unfair system. If there was a fair as possible system where all eligible voters had access and ability to vote then I'm fine with your argument but we're not there yet.
Can you imagine the uproar if trump won pop vote but lost EC btw? The uproar would've been at a minimum 200x what people are mad at the other side for. Minimum.
The next head of the EPA will be against climate change and everything obama passed on the matter will all get repealed. To be fair, I don't think anyone actually cares about that since we should be dead by then unless you own an east coast especially SE FL beach property.
The biggest issue with polarization is that you can get your news filtered to your biases now. I can't watch any TV news for even a few minutes without my brain exploding at either a wrong fact or intentionally misleading statements. The internet is the same thing for most. That's brainwashing and it's just going to get worse in the populous. They also intentionally get people in a furor over things that are literally nothing (ebola anyone?).
btw, my guess is trump tries to stop us from funding NATO so gl stopping Russia from invading you europe!
