I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread, forgive me if it has....but the sort of people who voted him in are desperate Middle Americans who have been abandoned by both Republican and Democratic governments and who live with the worst poverty in America, the worst unemployment rates in America, the worst drug addiction rates in America, the lowest education levels in America, and so on and so on. The kind of people whose dad and grandad and great grandad worked at the local mill or factory or whatever straight out of highschool and made enough to support their family, own a house and live a life that doesn't exist any more.

Trump promised a return to those days. It's no wonder a huge chunk of Middle America voted for him, and I can't blame them despite my feelings about Trump
Yeah, spot on. It is the ultimate irony that they are instilling their faith in someone who couldn't be less 'man of the people' if he tried. It's 'Kevin 007' on steroids. Perhaps I was too subtle with Korny.

The reality is that when you are desperate you will cling on to any sense of hope, regardless of how fleeting it might be. When life is a daily struggle, sometimes posting on Facebook isn't that important.

WTF are you talking about? Too subtle? I have been pointing out for months that he is speaking to the right people and saying the right things and that is why he ultimately won......

The people posting on my Facebook feed from this country whinging about him getting in are f**king clueless as to why he was voted in. All they know is that in the past he said he'd grab a female by the pussy and has verbal diarrhoea without a filter. They don't think about the demographic of the US who Bazal pointed out because it doesn't suit their agenda.

Funnily enough the people who are annoying me on Facebook fit the relative demographic that Trump won over.

Sorry but its really hard to take you seriously after you have declared that you vote informal in elections. It's great that you have an opinion and I respect that, however I am flabbergasted that you would then go all the way to an Oz voting booth and write graffiti rather than a legitimate vote.

Love to know why.

The funny thing with Trump is, i assume from his heavy handed business dealings, he can go hard verbally at someone, and cop it back, but then be prepared to move on and get along with them professionally

but hillary and obama are really struggling to even look at him, f**k talk to him ... and fair enough, i am more like that too

It probably means trump is someone who can put stuff aside and get shit done - which might be a good thing .... time will tell i guess

Problem I have 24hrs on is that he was so "Obama was the worst President in US history" and "Secretary Clinton should be in jail" then now he's all "She done a great job and service to her country and I mean that sincerely" and "I was an honour to meet The President - a great man and leader" WTF ? I thought he was the founder of f**king ISIS ?

Same goes with his "I'm going to build a wall and they'll pay for it" then he goes down to Mexico pre-election and meets with the No.1 and does not mention the wall. WTF ?

Are you a man or a mouse merkin ?

Who gives a f**k about the people posting on your facebook. Stop hanging out with deadshits.

Hopefully that wasn't too subtle.

Maybe he plans to make it with mud brick, and force the illegal immigrants to build it before he kicks them out, so it won't actually cost anything.

So what about this case where the dude hasbeen given immunity for telling them where the body is .... does this happen much for murder cases?

Wtf? .... so you get away with murder - but will live the rest of your life with people knowing you are a murderer .... he was apparently aquitted in 2009

I get the family just wanting to put an end to it ... i guess they are already convinced, just want closure more than justice

The quote from the coroner in the related article suggests it's extremely unusual.

You get fined if you don't go.......I thought that would be pretty clear.

That's not what I'm talking about.

My point is that you seem quite opinionated about these things, yet chose to throw your vote away ?

That seems a tad hypocritical to me.

That's why I asked why a person who has strong opinions on politics would then elect to throw his vote away.
