Won't change the fact that (I hope) every single one of them gets pounded with ads over the next two years that "X voted to take away health care" -- nm* - znufrii Dec 15, 11:53 25

- Unfortunately, I don't think anything like that even matters anymore. A bunch of people just voted as "I'm With Racist". - Diva Dec 15, 11:58 21

    - I really can't get past the racism and I'm not trying to either. It's very simple to me. They voted for a fucking racist. - Diva Dec 15, 12:10 13
      - Yeah, I feel the same way. It's really hard for me to reconcile. -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 15, 12:26

        I think many people who voted for him are not racist themselves.. except that supporting someone who is makes them be, in a way. - b. Dec 15, 12:22 7

        I see resentment. Many people don't see themselves as racist, but they see government supporting things that they can't benefit from and - Roger More Dec 15, 12:33 2
        
        I get the resentment, in that I can at least wrap my head around the perception but the fact that they don't feel that they've benefited from - Mel Profit Dec 15, 12:37 1
        
        I think they truly don't see themselves as getting government benefits - or at least, their fair share. - Roger More Dec 15, 12:44
        
        The certainty that things should continue to be run on their terms, not yours. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 15, 12:28 1

        my feeling is that while they may feel they had other reasons for voting for him, the fact remains they put a racist in power and they can't pretend - Andie Dec 15, 12:27
        
        i feel that if you vote for a racist you are co-opting racism and giving it a pass. - Diva Dec 15, 12:20
    - I said it before the election and still believe - it was a massive temper tantrum by a few key demographics. -- nm* - Mel Profit Dec 15, 12:09 1
      - The political equivalent of road rage. - znufrii Dec 15, 12:10
  - But some of these people are selfish. When they are personally impacted, they will react. -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 12:04
  - Focus the message, pound the drum, make it personal. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 15, 12:01 2
    - i hope so. -- nm - Diva Dec 15, 12:05 1
      - I believe they do care about (certain) people, but it's a much narrower circle that what you or I envision this country to be. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 15, 12:14
- Most polls show Obamacare being more favorable than negative right? -- nm - eag Dec 15, 11:54 1
  - The specific policies, definitely, if not the overall program by that name. -- nm* - znufrii Dec 15, 11:56
