Wall St is always happy when they have a puppet and turnstiles in high government positions. Take that away and they are scared.

The Bible also says that we are to submit to the government set by man. Romans 13:1Wait a second, the right wants the death penalty when the bible says thou shalt not kill but it's not convenient for them at that moment right? I believe that a person should have control over their own bodies so if a woman wants to have an abortion, which I don't agree with, they should have the same right to choose just like an obese church goer making their 5th trip to the buffet bar does to keep themselves overweight. I don't want to pay for eithers medical expenses besides Jesus never promoted making rules over people to take their freedom of choice. Religion has always sought power and control over people which Jesus stood in opposition to. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no man goes unto the Father but by him. Jesus is God in the flesh not religion.
13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Because most Americans want change. Hillary represented staying the course, and Trump represented change. This is the truest answer you're ever going to get.
Oh you mean like stalling on filling the Supreme Court vacancy when the procedure is clearly outlined. Hmm?The Bible also says that we are to submit to the government set by man. Romans 13:1
The fact that you can be physically attacked for holding a politically incorrect view is exactly why Trump won. Liberals are so intolerant of other ideas, that they polarise more moderate voters in the opposite direction.
All my peers in macroeconomics class are laughing at how stupid and naive the average American is. Trump is a moron as are his followers. Let's hope you idiots don't start the next Great Depression or World War 3 and drag Australia and NZ with you, but I wouldn't put it past you guys seeing as how you elected a clown as your president...

Trump says the pie can expand. Leftists want us to fight over slices of the same old, zero sum, musty old government issue pie, into perpetuity.
Oh! And if you can manage to be designated as a member of a "protected class" by the appropriate gov't bureau, you get EXTRA pie.
It's OK. The people you're taking pie from need to be taught a lesson anyway.
Obama's ignored the will of the people on immigration and paid the price
Holy shit, undergrads taking a 100/200-level econ class have an opinion. Thank you for educating us, you've corrected the record.
Sure, the people who study this for a living haven't thought of that
but evidently the conservative brain trust you're part of figured it out.
Every study and survey on the matter put racial resentment as the priority for trump fans (even above his primary challengers), and that metric is probably the best predictor of party affiliation these days. Frankly it's hard to dispute that his movement was based around what he was saying about the muslims and mexicans or such, again in contrast to even his primary foes.
Econ usually comes second as something they claim to, but the most detailed study of trump supporters by gallop found they general have high-ish incomes averaging >70k, so that can't be it.
So by the process of elimination, it's not hard to figure what really matters. Conservatives are right in that the media and educators suppress white nationalism (arguably for good reason), but the reality remains that this election set us straight far as what motivates more americans.
The Repubs in Congress didn't do anything either. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't recall any serious legislation the Repubs introduced during Obama's two terms that dealt with closing the borders, or hunting down all of the illegals and deporting them wholesale, etc.
If anything, the Repubs in Congress sure as hell made a whole lot of noise about it, but that's about it.
"Holy shit, undergrads taking a 100/200-level econ class have an opinion"
None of that is an opinion. The man has marketed himself to morons, he's said ridiculous things and backtracked on them many times even so far as to blatantly lie and deceive his followers, yet your average Ameritard can't see past the halo effect for the imbecile he is and would rather stay entrenched in their delusional world.
Building a wall to keep Mexicans out (apparently w/out using tax payers' money) -> a ridiculous thing to say, how much of a moron do you have to be to believe this? It sounds like a 5 year old's answer to a very complex problem.
"Thank you for educating us"
I haven't educated anybody in my comment but it does seem like your average Trump supporter would benefit greatly from at least elementary-level education. Sadly you can't teach critical or rational thinking..
As might be inferred from some of my comments, I make a habit of reading academic lit when I can. Since you appear to be the polar opposite, I guess you'll have to take my word that econ & b school are rather aware of the role of investment.How the fuck would you know? Are YOU one of the people who do that? No? Then zip it.
I mentioned earlier that a guy being interviewed on one of the networks about race being the deciding factor called it "White Lash" when he was referring to how a lot of folks didn't take kindly to the amount of attention that minorities were being given by the Dem Party and they voted with that in mind.
edit - Could this be a situation where the southern strategy has inadvertently regained steam and spread further across the nation?
It's the anti-smugness vote for me. There is a difference about being right and informing people of facts and just being a flat-out smug mother f'er. The media being in the bag for Dems, smug as$wipes on this board, Obama, almost everywhere...the smug looks and speech about how people are morons if they don't agree with liberals. Liberals had it coming.
Now I can only hope the religtards don't get too much influence. And the Republican establishment wakes the f up and realizes this wasn't about their great policies or Never Trumpers.
