At that time, my lip reading deaf friend told me she did not say “damn”. She said “fu**ing”.

I was never proud of this country until the racist citizens voted him into office.

That is all you see...color of skin. Sick leftists, label others superficially and not on their behavior.

My brother, who identifies as a white man, voted for Obama TWICE. Yes, Obama was on the wrong side of America and my brother finally got on the Trump train. Now, he doesn't look back and wonders what the heck he was thinking to vote for the divisive Democrat.

Such irony, that you criticize someone for pointing out how reactionaries responded to (half of) Obama's racial background (the Alt Right was literally born out of the response to this; Trump went from peviously political joke to Righty champion because of his deploying of race baiting in regards to Obama as well as other racist tropes), then proceed to pull a 'some of my best... are....' by bringing up your brother's race and how despite that he somehow still voted for Obama only to switch to Trump because he noticed 9 years later when Obama's tenure was already drawing to a close that he was devisive due to unspecified reasons.

You know what? Your brother wasn't alone. There were bunches and bunches of dudes who switched from Obama to Trump.

Turns out the #1 reason was sexism.

Yeah, it was more about Hillary being a woman than being "pro" Trump.

But wait!

It doesn't end there.

The other super big contributing factor from switching to Trump from Obama?

Rabid anti-immigrant ideas.

And given how xenophobic you've been, it doesn't surprise me that your brother would also be xenophobic to the point of racism.

Because... great 3rd point of data here A LOT of people voted for Obama to prove they weren't racist, when, in fact, they were.

There's been a bunch of studies on this:

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1368430216677304

There's others, but you & I both know you won't read either of those but I'll post them just in case.

"The moment a Black man was elected President was the moment y'all decided you weren't patriots anymore.

Yeah, that tracks."

When you've got nothing, play the race card. It "tracks" because you expect it to. Confirmation bias much?

While anecdotal, of my varied friends, and my own observations over the years (I used to be a fairly run of the mill liberal) I've noticed almost no racism from my conservative/republican friends, but plenty of it from my liberal/democrat friends. Maybe that's a big part of why I stopped being a lied to, led around by my nose liberal. But yeah, it's anecdotal.

"Turns out the #1 reason was sexism."

It's very convenient for you to throw sexism in with your specious racist claim, isn't it? I guess when you have ZERO tangible proof of what you're trying to say, doubling down on the made up shit seems like a good idea.

I don't think we need a study about studies done regarding why people voted the way they did. Those studies would be no more reliable than polls are, and we've learned that polls aren't reliable at all. People lie when asked about these things because they don't want to be thought of as racists (so even some racists realize it's wrong.)

When the following two sentences are in the abstract, it's pretty clear that they've drawn conclusions before they do any 'journaling' to get to the actual truth:

"Why is a reality-TV star billionaire the 2016 U.S. presidential nominee of the Republican Party? What explains why so many Americans support Donald Trump and the anti-immigrant policies that he espouses? Some"

They can't even bring themselves to say anti-illegal-immigrant, which is what Trump ran on. In other words, your studies are jokes.

Well, the one at SAGE Journals was. You're right, I didn't even start to look at the second one. After the first one, what would be the point?

Posted links or whatever are going to fit the crafted narrative of course.

You wasted a few minutes of your life that you will never get back entertaining nonsense.

Wasn't because Hillary identifies as a woman it was because Hillary is a horrible human being.

No links or websites required (posting them doesn't have the effect you imagine).

Now, your nasty, bitter, angry reply will come with animosity equal to that if I had insulted your mother

Let'er rip 😄

For sure for a significant number it's just a bs rhetorical device ("I was a total Bud man, then I switched to Pabst Blue Ribbon!"), as well as virtue signaling ("and how could I be racist if I voted for him both times before I saw the blight and switched sides?").

The 180 turn defies logic, a little too total without the slightest indication of why they voted for Obama in the first place. Took them nearly a decade to see the error of their ways and now it's total unmitigated dog whistle sheathed hate? A little too conveniant.

You have the freedom to sit and others have the freedom to express disapproval with you sitting.

It is a win win situation.

Why do you have such an issue with that?

Pretty pathetic when hurt feelings are compared as equivalent to patriotism and the first amendment.

But that's the world libs (and apparently communists , too) want to live in, so go right ahead.

And that's the difference between libs and regular people. The true 'live and let live' attitude. Libs would never say something like "go right ahead" because they insist on making you live your life the way they want you to.

Self-admitted communists like you, prager, really shouldn't delve into the realm of US patriotism.

Hurt feelings and patriotism both stem from the same thing, your feelings.

I'd love to play live and let live and choose to live how I want, who I love, how I dress, if and/or when I want to have kids, what pronouns I use, what activities I partake in behind closed doors with consenting adults, and of course whether I want to stand up and sing the stupid flag song.

But no, that's something that the pro freedom and small government conservatives and their elected officials seem to have an issue with.

Then you can surely imagine why they have the same sentiments regarding YOUR feelings.
