more people vote than have active twitter accounts, or go to these political events.

2019-11-18 14:03:18 UTC  

How many political events do you attend?

2019-11-18 14:03:31 UTC  

Trump got in by being openly nationalist and dog whistling about race.

2019-11-18 14:03:58 UTC  

And got in with extremely fervent support.

2019-11-18 14:04:57 UTC  

meh

2019-11-18 14:05:22 UTC  

I'm not sure what to think about "dogwhistles"

2019-11-18 14:05:30 UTC  

He said all kinds of shit

2019-11-18 14:05:38 UTC  

like how the military should use motorcylce couriers

2019-11-18 14:06:07 UTC  

These dogwhistles dont seem to be very effective to me if it's mostly rabid bluechecks who hear them 🤔

2019-11-18 14:06:34 UTC  

>just lay down and die
Are you Jewish by any chance?

2019-11-18 14:06:55 UTC  

@Beemann
*psst* That's the point.

2019-11-18 14:06:59 UTC  

>if you dont agree with me you think we should die
Real honest take there champ

2019-11-18 14:07:12 UTC  

Lolwut?

2019-11-18 14:07:16 UTC  

>the point of a dogwhistle is to have it heard by non-dogs

2019-11-18 14:07:22 UTC  

Can you genuinely not read?

2019-11-18 14:08:19 UTC  

>the point of racist dog whistles ISN'T to be heard by racially conscious people
Lolwut

2019-11-18 14:09:07 UTC  

Denial that a certain tactic should or will pay off is not "lol let's just give up"
Although I suppose that also depends on what that tactic means to your objective, given ideological restrictions

2019-11-18 14:11:12 UTC  

Especially with people from Ohio where Obama just dumped like 500k African Muslims over the years they definitely responded to some of his statements like the travel ban.

2019-11-18 14:11:46 UTC  

But they also had their small towns destroyed by the government dropping 5k African Muslims on welfare at a time into the state.

2019-11-18 14:12:34 UTC  

So the point of Trump's rhetoric was to make people mad as he fails to build a wall and has no public problem with legal immigration (so long as your country doesn't have verification issues), and then rally the left around crazies?
Or was it just a massive fuck up?

2019-11-18 14:13:52 UTC  

Anyone who thought the wall would be done in 4 years is a retard.

2019-11-18 14:14:20 UTC  

Things rarely happen that fast in a big corporation, let alone in the Government with antagonists everywhere.

2019-11-18 14:14:55 UTC  

I mean I would argue the same for any big govt project, but it still happens

2019-11-18 14:15:23 UTC  

Yeah, but it's even worse since he's not just fighting the Double Government he's fighting the elected politicians too.

2019-11-18 14:16:51 UTC  

Sure, but I doubt he couldn't have accounted for that, for one
And for another, if you're going to talk up your dealmaking the public is going to want to see tangible results. You have to maintain reasonable expectations

2019-11-18 14:17:08 UTC  

He has had lot of tangilble results

2019-11-18 14:17:25 UTC  

The people whining about the wall need to quit being such whiny cucks

2019-11-18 14:17:46 UTC  

We've got the Mexican Military helping us send "migrants" back

2019-11-18 14:17:48 UTC  

Part of this gets back into how the current set up completely fucks the incentive structure

2019-11-18 14:17:55 UTC  

we've basically got the cartels helping us secure the border LUL

2019-11-18 14:18:06 UTC  

Incentive structure for what?

2019-11-18 14:18:12 UTC  

Politicians

2019-11-18 14:18:18 UTC  

I didn't vote last election

2019-11-18 14:18:22 UTC  

It's more visible in dem primaries though

2019-11-18 14:18:24 UTC  

I'm voting this time and I'm voting Trump

2019-11-18 14:18:33 UTC  

Because he's the least insane option

2019-11-18 14:18:43 UTC  

Which I never thought I'd say about Trump

2019-11-18 14:18:49 UTC  

Sure, but most people are going to vote for gibs

2019-11-18 14:19:02 UTC  

Whichever side offers them the best personal gain

2019-11-18 14:19:15 UTC  

He's not losing any substantial number of voters over the Wall

2019-11-18 14:19:45 UTC  

Even if they're upset brainlets about the wall they're still going to vote for him.
