I think you’d need to understand the antagonistic relationship between this company and Canadians to get it. Bell, along with their main competitor Rogers, are really our only source for Cable TV, Internet access, Cell Phone service, home phones and they also own most of the TV stations(they also, jointly, own the…

Touche.

I’ll be honest, how we’re perceived by the country that elected Donald Trump doesn’t really weigh too heavily on my mind.

Depends on when you see modern time as starting. If you go back to the 70's you have the EPA and some social welfare programs.

Especially since they continued to reflexively vote for GOP candidates who are union busters, take away the rights of workers, and “job creators” who up and leave once they have no more use for them. They can’t say they voted for change AND vote to reelect almost all of the GOP incumbents.

Which is exactly why his election was about much, much more than racism. While Hillary won minorities, overall, her share of the vote declined dramatically, while he got a larger share of the minority vote than Romney, and I think Bush 43 but not 100% on that one. In the midst of the insane racial screeds, he was also…

That would fit her very well. She brags about calling the cops on black and brown kids in her Philly neighborhood - the neighborhood once called the cops on a group cleaning up the park and when a Puerto Rican cop came said “no offence, but can we have a white cop?”. I kid you not, the cop was a friend of mine’s…

Yeah I very easily just found the Bannon quote. That is terrifying.

True story: small business owner, divorced. T wo kids, one needing regular medical care. I don’t qualify for subsidies because I’m doing OK. The best ACA/Romney family plan I could find was 1100 a month plus a 5K deductible. Brural, right? Except I remember pre_Obama and I couldn’t have covered my kid for any…

I know crazy right!? Both are real quotes. You can find the original stories and people like Snopes have covered it. I kept showing this to people before election, people didn’t believe it. These guys want chaos. The whole situation is terrifying.

Unfortunately, support for Trump from certain ethnic groups in the Middle East is more common than you think.

People are absolutely dumber than shit. I will never, ever, ever overestimate the average American again after this.

This has been an ongoing theme, people who voted for Trump will lose benefits. For some reason they thought Trump would provide for the white people while stripping support for brown and black people.

I told them whatever choices they make in life, good or bad, is theirs to make, but just know that there are parts of this country that don’t care about your character or your value as a person; they only care about whether or not you are “white”. I don’t think that’s being racist; it’s being a realist. Some day that…

I understand a lot of underprivileged people voted for him because he promised he’d bring back factory jobs etc. I just don’t understand why anyone believed him that he could do that, or would. His entire life he’s never shown any indication about caring about anyone but himself, and he’s repeatedly stiffed his…

That any people still think Republicans have any good ideas for anyone except the wealthy is the biggest con job in modern history.

I think that he was one of the people who thought that Obamacare and the ACA were two completely separate programs. A realization which absolutely did not increase my already exceedingly low esteem of him.

My grandparents were undocumented immigrants (from the northern border) and I loooooooooove reminding my racist relatives of that fact. Just watching some of them try to justify it somehow without actually saying “but they were white” is a trip. But they’re not racist! They just wanted “change”. And here it is.

I read an interesting article about steel workers in Pennsylvania who voted for Trump. They literally think he’s going to re-open factories and totally overhaul the industry. It isn’t going to happen - it’s just false hope, but people cling to it. “Make America Great Again” means whatever desperate people want it to…
