I hate Trump but I am glad he won
The Hill ^ | Gabrielle Bauer

Posted on 11/16/2024 6:23:35 AM PST by yldstrk

Then “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” exploded — on college campuses, in corporate boardrooms, online. Every subculture, no matter how esoteric, began braying for recognition (or “centering,” in DEI language). Two-spirit indigenous people? Incarcerated women with HIV? Nonbinary semi-professional athletes? They all had a laundry list of grievances, and demanded that governments provide the salve.

This new movement rests on two absurd ideas: that certain groups require extra help in perpetuity because of harms they incurred in the past — what dissenters have aptly termed “the soft bigotry of low expectations” — and that inequality of intergroup outcomes can only arise from systemic discrimination. Cancel culture, the DEI movement’s enforcement arm, locks in these ideas by grabbing the mic from anyone who dares to contest them. It betrays the movement’s subliminal impulse: to squash free speech like a bug.

Point is, I’m no fan of the guy. And yet I couldn’t mistake the poke from my subconscious: it was rooting for him. I was rooting for him. It made no sense. Was I a sociopath, or what?

Yes. You are a sociopath. Like all other radical liberals.

“I have no interest in denigrating men, either — a pet project of the new left. Toxic this, toxic that. Never mind that we owe much of civilization — from iron mines and the printing press to the jet planes that bring the world to us — to the ingenuity of men who came before us. That nobody gives them credit for it speaks to the level of misandry in our midst.”

“Oppressor and oppressed. Perpetrator and victim. And above all, Black and white. It’s all so tiresome. Coleman Hughes, author of the book “The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America,” regards his blackness as one of the least notable things about him. Likewise, I have no interest in looking at people through tinted glasses.”

Yes, I am sick of this black/brown/white stuff. Our parents fought these battles. Yawn.

Yep, they really overplayed their hand because they were celebrating that they had won the battle for the soul of America, but what they really did was, provide people a glimpse of who they really are. Power hungry criminals who cared little about anyone outside their criminal enterprise.

Znd why do you hate Trump Gabrielle? Because he is a supposed racist? Have you checked the actual facts? Or do you just zccept without question the lies from the left?

It is a fsct that biden was a blatant racist, yet you didn’t hate him, did you?

What else do you hate about pres Trump? Let’s hear all the reasons you hate pres Trump- then let’s compare the facts and compare between him and the Democrat party and see which one really is the racist intolerant bigoted group shall we? Oh, your mind isn’t open to facts? Didn’t think so!

Was it the lie that “pres Trump said there were nice people on both sides” that causes you to hate him? Again, look at the facts! It is a lie that he called nazis and skinheads good people!

Was it the lie that “pres Trump told his supporters to riot at the Capitol building” that causes you to hate him? Again, that is a blatant lie- check out the fsfrs for yourself, then ask yourself why you continue to beleive the lies from your party on that?

Was it the lie that “pres Trump called all illegals scum” that causes you to hate him? Once again, that is a blatant lie! Why do accept lies such as that without question Gabrielle? Why is there such hatred in your heart for him? I can tell you this, there is no legitimate reason to hate him- all the reasons thst the left claim are reasons to hate him are based on lie after lie after lie.

Don’t be a lie beleiver Gabrielle.

The fsct that your conscience was rooting for him shows maybe, just maybe, might be a glimmer of hope- I would suggest pursuing that hope, opening yourself up to objective facts, and see where the fscts plus your conscience takes you! Stop gobbling down the lying liberal talking points for once!

Note - They can’t. They talk to feel relevant, self important. They aren’t but they won’t shut up.

EQUALITY:Everyone has an equal chance of winning a foot race.

EQUALITY: Everyone must cross the finish line at the same time. Stupid.

Millions of reasonable libs voted Trump-Vance. Because they were sick and tired of all the mutant crap coming from the far left/ That Kamala was in line with.

Millions of them who are Dems. Also sat it out. Did not show up for Kammy. This hurt that Dems almost as well as voting Trump.

The Left presented us with the second worst woman candidate (Hillary would have been number 1) and she was so bad even Trump haters ended up voting for him.
Good Job commies. You certainly have the anti-Midas touch.

I think she may reflect what a number of white folk are feeling about their party. Kind of feeling the war on white folks blowback that their identity politics party embarked upon 30 years ago.

I’d be willing to bet that the majority of Cheney’s Harriz/Walzee “endorsers” voted for President Trump in the privacy of the voting booth.

Once Obama was election, the mask was torn off. No longer did the DNC and their idealouge’s claim to be “kinder and gentler” or “more morally” positioned towards their fellow mankind. Today, the DNC people openly hate.
