There's a lot of it going on really, seen a lot of trash on twitter and Facebook. These things circulate quickly, im not sure whether its amusing or a sad reflection that those decrying the fake stories of the right and those taken in by them are equally being taken in by fake stories in the opposite direction.

Amply involved apparently means not wanting to debate something when confronted with an opposing view. Interesting.
He seems to prefer a wa with China. It will be tremendous but folks!
Tune in next week to see what happens next.
I understand breaking the political discourse and not sounding rehearsed or fake.
That doesn't mean that you support someone who says racist things & has done racist things in the past, just because they're different. And grouping anyone who doesn't like this a "social justice crusader" or whatever other liberal insult.
Like I said before, the two are mutually exclusive.
If the things you have on your mind are racist and you have the balls to say them, that doesn't make you respectable, it makes you racist. It's that simple.
Tbf it's not fake news, but a misunderstanding of how the contract works. The articles themselves are correct.
Clearly the public didn't think so as they voted him into office - not for his bombastic polemics, but because he convinced them he would brings jobs back to the U.S.
Did some Californian version of me steal your paper this morning? You seem obsessed.
I hate hate to write with German autocorrect when seeing the quote you made. Being a bilingual has fecked it to an extent (since it tries to "learn") I might as well turn it off.Tune in next week to see what happens next.
If you read the last few pages, you'll see I've dedicated copious time to this topic. The fact that you are rehashing issues I've already covered, and descending into something representing illogical lunacy, isn't sufficient motivation for me to follow you down the rabbit hole.
I'll never forgive /r/The_Donald for ruining Dune
Dune was the worst book I read this year
The public also thought that Hillary Clinton was running a pedophile sex ring in a pizza parlour in Washington DC - that doesn't really say much.
Plus some of his supporters actively want him to build a wall, ban muslims, deport immigrants etc. To suggest that "the public" as a whole only voted for him because they thought he would bring back jobs to the US is wholly inaccurate.
Only a few alt-right loons and the easily led.
Trump won by default.
Why are we going over this again.
Why are we going over this again.
Ok, I'm obsessed. The incessant use of annoying terms usually follows.
Its not the point, someone should point out to the orangutan man child he shouldnt be talking shit about one of his countries biggest companies/employers.
It might as well be fake news when it forms a narrative on twitter. The idea that he was manipulating the stock market on purpose with his comments also seems to be doing the rounds which is ridiculous. All the rush to make a storm over everything just dilutes the focus on genuine issues and its only fun in the same way those on the right prob thought it was fun to circulate trash.
There's a very big gap in stupidity but the parallel is there nonetheless.
It did?
But it is really part of the fake news problem. People spread stuff around using Twitter/Facebook as if it is a fact (IE the new Air Force One will only cost $170m not $4.0B).
over what again?
Don´t know how old you are, or how well you remember, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of that situation. In fact, everybody thought he, and most of the African American left, including the Black muslim movement, came off as very anti semitic, at the time. Look at many African American intellectuals of the 60s, 70s and 80s, many were in fact very anti semitic, and Jackson comes directly from this tradition. This also stems massively from the perception of "jewish" landlords and the traditional American housing discrimination against African Americans.
I have no idea where you get the idea that no one thought he was anti semitic. Completely wrong.
As in, he continued to have a successful career as a left wing politician and social activist without having his entire career smeared as an anti-semite.
about why people voted for Trump.
Twitter is obviously Skynet.
That's a simplistic view of things, you're always going to find a select few people who have extreme views on both sides of the spectrum.
But those who voted for him still did so while remaining silent on the issues such as race & misogyny, and will continue to remain silent, which is still alarming. But as long as they say they aren't racist, I guess that makes it okay.
So it is either brilliant in that it is brining the human race down or Skynet is stupid and both it and the human race is doomed.
What is he supposed to say about race and misogyny ? As mentioned earlier, it was blacks, hispanics, and white women who turned out in higher numbers to vote for Trump than previously expected, which ostensibly made him President. These groups have already accepted him in greater numbers than most of the polls previously suggested they would.
Invented by man, became sentient, and is now bringing down Western civilization through a carefully orchestrated attack of misinformation and @realdonaldtrump tweets.
He never really had a "career"in politics to speak off and his antisemitism has been overshadowed by all the other things he's done, including accepting bribes to start or end his campaigns.
Well he ran for President twice and is more or less a lifelong political activist. As for Bribes and his personal affairs, that's all on him.
Blacks voted for Clinton overwhelmingly, over 80 point margin, how does this mean that they've accepted him?
Hispanics as a "race" isn't as simple, and more hispanics identify with whiteness than Latin identity overwhelmingly, so that's no surprise.
And white women again isn't much of a margin, he got something like 53% of the white woman vote? Not really ground breaking numbers.
Just because the previously expected numbers were woefully low, doesn't mean a higher than expected number is a good thing, it's still woefully low and not indicative of any acceptance.
He was polling as low as in the single digits with blacks, so for him to get to 20% is quite an accomplishment given the stranglehold Democrats have on the black vote.
He wasn't supposed to do particularly well among Hispanics either after the rapist, build a wall, mass deportation, and Judge Curiel narratives, and yet he would up doing comparatively quite well.
Exactly.I don't see anything seductive and enticing about someone being openly racist, sexist, a lie a minute and all round prick. But I suppose to reach their own.
It's amusing how "not giving a feck" is seen as a good quality as opposed to the actual content of your discourse/actions.
"You might be an asshole/racist/assaulter of women but you say things out loud and hence I like you".

Are you an American ?
@InfiniteBoredom's approach is probably the best way to deal with this situation.
He didn't get 20%, he got 8%. The margin was 80 points (Clinton got 88%).
She won all of those demographics by very large margins. The widest gender gap in electoral history. Blacks she won by 88 to 8. Only bettered by the first black president. She won the college educated demographic by 9%, the biggest split in college vs non college voting trends ever.
Where did Trump pick up his big wins? White male voters in record numbers and non college educated white voters of both gender.
Her winning blacks by 80 points instead of 85 isn't the driving factor in this electoral outcome. It is his strong appeal to working class white Americans, and white men.
Well feck that's more than he was supposed to get.
No.
