Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

How did you get that knowledge or feeling?
I'm asking because most articles I've read that analyze the recent election say that many voters who supported Trump did so primarily because of economic concerns.
That doesn't conflict with my statement at all. They don't actually care about what happens to other people, specifically immigrants in this case. What they say completely conflicts with their actions.
Most Americans are perfectly happy to endorse a domestic genocide if they think it will slightly improve their personal lives/wallets. Or they're just totally indifferent, which isn't much better in my opinion.
Considering he isn’t going to do anything to help the economy, I don’t know why they voted like that.
People are fucking morons who never learn anything. They just listen to whatever tall man says things the most confidently whether it is positive and true or blatant lies. People are worried about immigrants despite every single study and statistic showing the concern is based on blatant lies and they haven't learned that Republicans have constantly fucked over the economy for decades with repeated attempts at Reaganomics.
But the guy who fucked is over just 4 years ago while lying about everything saying it over and over means they will listen, because people are morons.
Yep, they were told the economy was terrible and so they just parroted that back. Now that Trump got elected, suddenly they think the economy is better even though Trump isn't in power and has done nothing.
Amen
