Re: Victor Trump-er
Put a post on BB last week. Trump to win, and Jobe to keep his Brownlow, what are the odds?
Nothing usually happens until something happens.
Re: Victor Trump-er
I wasn't whinging how he won. That is there system and it worked the other way for the Democrats relatively recently. I was just pleased that it turned out that actually more Americans voted for Hillary than they did Trump. As with our system, the Democrats won by heaps in places like California and New York but they still could only gain the number of electoral college that were allocated to those states. His victory was widespread across the Mid-west and the South.
I was heartened by the much calmer tone of his victory speech and Hillary's concession speech (that should have been delivered sooner but I guess she must have been totally devastated). However, he is very much a loose cannon so I will wait and see how it all pans out.

Considering social media were trumpeting the idiotic graph about how the younger generation voted as fact I'll take anything on there with a grain of salt.ealesy wrote:Some scary shit popping up on Social media about the treatment minorities have received at the end of stupid idiots who have been embolden by Trump's victory.
Reality is anything negative in the next 4 years will always be Trumps fault on social media.

That's kinda his job, could be worse he could be Obama and get blamed for things that aren't negative. A very real part of trump's election strategy was to target minorities. A very real and well documented segment of his support base is overt racists, many reports form many sources that these people are having a field day. I find this extremely concerning.boncer34 wrote:Reality is anything negative in the next 4 years will always be Trumps fault on social media.
Re: Victor Trump-er
Because its not real. Its not how they voted, its how the pollsters predicted they were going to vote and considering how wonderful that pollsters did in predicting this election anyone that trumpets it as fact is, in my opinion, an idiot.Sismis wrote:Why is that an "idiotic graph"?boncer34 wrote:Considering social media were trumpeting the idiotic graph about how the younger generation voted as fact I'll take anything on there with a grain of salt.ealesy wrote:Some scary shit popping up on Social media about the treatment minorities have received at the end of stupid idiots who have been embolden by Trump's victory.
Well no his job isn't to be blamed for everything negative in the world.

I didn't like it when it happened to Obama and I'm not going to like it when it happens to Trump despite my opinions on him.

Re: Victor Trump-er
Call it what you want. It's not how they really voted and the people who keep saying it is are idiots Sis in my opinion. I'm not actually debating the merits of polling or anything else, just that using something that isn't true or factual and labeling it as so is idiotic. Do you believe it is ok to say that's how they voted when it isn't?Sismis wrote: It's called sampling, very commonly used tool for prediction and very effective.
What's that go to do with anything? Trump being blamed for everything wrong that happens worldwide the next 4 years isn't his job. Just like it wasn't Obama's to be blamed for everything wrong that happened to the world in the last 8 years.Sismis wrote:What exactly do you think leadership is?

Part of leadership is taking responsibility. The buck literally stops with you. "I am the leader of the free-world, OH except for that"
Re: Victor Trump-er
Its not an indication of how they voted. Its a prediction Sis. Its an indication of how they were predicated to vote.
And again. I'm arguing people who say this is how it voted are idiots. Its not a definitive picture at all. Or are you telling me with 100% confidence that every single person voted the way the polls said they would?
Leader of the free world? Huh ok then Sis you believe that then and I'll believe that the United States isn't responsible for every bad thing that happens everywhere. We're in a free country, or not I don't know any more since Trump won't by my leader but leads the entire free world, so we're allowed to disagree.

Re: Victor Trump-er
I am saying it is much more likely they voted the way they said they would than they didn't. https://www.inverse.com/article/23514-o ... -fake-poll The initial map shared was a couple of weeks old, the more recent shows almost the exact same thing.

Have you never heard the metaphor "leader of the free world" in relation to the US presidency? Or are you confused about how metaphors work? But fine if you want to play pedant. Do you think Trump will be blamed for selections in the Australian Cricket team?
Re: Victor Trump-er
Maybe I worded my original premise poorly Sis but I've been pretty clear ever since. People who say that is how they voted are idiots because its not. The fact you didn't answer my question and went off on a tangent speaks volumes. But I'll ask again and hope you answer.
People are saying that is how everyone voted. The only way to say that is by arguing people voted exactly the way the polls said the would. Are you supporting this? Yes or no Sis. Do you think the people that are saying on twitter and facebook and everywhere else on social media that the graph shows with 100% definitive accuracy that is how the younger generation voted are correct? Yes or no. Very simple.
And I've heard the metaphor, I disagree with it. That's it bud. Trumps not my leader, he isn't to blame for everything that goes wrong in the next 4 years in my opinion. Not sure why my opinion has caused you such angst but there ya go.

And no I can't show you that because I cbf going back into the cess pool that is twitter. Sorry buddy.

Ok Sis. Just seems you've decided to passionately argue a point I never intended to make, and a point I don't think I've ever made.

So by the same "logic" are you an idiot for stating "Everything" would be blamed on Trump? Keeping in mind that I have provided the original tweet that went viral and it makes no claim "the demographic shows that's exactly how the younger generation people voted", and you are unwilling to provide even one that states that...
