I've heard it thousands of times at DKR and other places.  Back in the SWC days, I pretty much came to blows with a few Arkie fans in front of me at Reunion Arena who were calling our players that.  I didn't get arrested luckily.

Jesus Christ. And you guys think your state is going to turn blue? Rural PA is pretty racist and I have no doubt you’d get shouted down, if not punched in the face, if you were yelling the n word at a Penn state game. In hundreds of games there I’ve never heard it once. 

But god dammit if this election result doesn’t make it seem more likely. The constant normalization of hate is part of the feedback loop that got us here.

1. My wife is a legal immigrant. So is my MIL, SIL and niece. Yup, I have a problem with illegal immigration. It took 20 years to immigrate my SIL and niece and a shitload of money. 

2. I could not care less about the LBGTQ community. I hope that they are living their best life, but ultimately it’s not my problem or war to fight. I don’t agree that they should be afforded additional right beyond being able to marry and not get beat up or killed simply for being “different”

3. I’m on Medicare as a disabled American. (ESRD) I also collect SS. Any negative changes would impact me.

4. Again, not my problem. I had my kids and could not give 2 shits about yours or your ability to kill it legally.

5. Yeah, ok…

Anything else genius? You sure don’t know a lot of shit about me, obviously.

 

On the govt tit with dialysis and SSI and voted for the guy who wants to get rid of both

 

Brilliant

How long do you think the GOP waits to start bragging about the crazy high stock market and low unemployment? Do they wait until inauguration, or just start claiming tomorrow that it's how it is because everyone knew Trump was winning?

They will do it tomorrow. Trump said in 2016 virtually the day after he won that the economy was suddenly great because he won. Because that is how economics work.

Why wasn't Harris constantly hammering that message?

Maybe separating yourself meaningfully from a highly unpopular administration that you were fucking part of would have been a good start?

That's the problem. The Biden admin has been 200 times more successful for the American people than Trump was. 

-Taking the number of insured Americans from 80 percent under Trump to 95 percent nationally today. 

- Job growth and salary outpaced inflation over the prior 3 years. 

-reduction in inflation from 2022 to today has been historic. Never happened so much so fast in history of the country. 

-inequality gap actually decreased in last 3 years. Lowest income workers gained under Biden. 

- Violent crimes have fallen drastically nationwide from where they were under trump. 

- Had a bipartisan immigration bill ready to go that trump got enough Republicans to kill. The republicans admitted it. 

It's nothing about Biden or Harris. It's 100 percent the American people are too stupid to successfully pick their government. We've reached that point in the decline of the country. They had a disastrous president where they suffered, had a very good president where they've gained, then chose to go backwards to the suffering. 

Americans have no idea how government works. 

Those of us intelligent and informed enough to know the difference will suffer right along with the idiots.

You are totally missing the point and so is the rest of this group.  It’s obvious that the only people who voted for Trump aren’t just racist in a small town…..   this is the thinking that failed the election.  I fucking hate Trump!  But I know many doctors, lawyers, ect that were voting for him.  But in here and nationally it was it’s just inbred dumb people.,.  🤷🏻‍♂️


Yup. A good friend who is a 1) an oral surgeon with degrees from Baylor and UT Medical school  2) the owner of a large ranch in south Texas and 3) a huge Longhorn fan who has had many Longhorn football players down on his ranch for hunting and fishing over the years 4) loves Trump and think Kamala is evil.

Maybe. I was a little hopeful after 2018 and 2020. We did the best we had done in decades.

But that might have been the high water mark and not the road to victory unfortunately.

Be thankful they’re incompetent.  The next despot wannabe that wins may be the real deal.  Hope we learn some lessons and move on.  This fucking blows but it absolutely is not the end of the republic as we know it.

This mother fucker tried to revoke my citizenship last time he was president.

This mother fucker brags about killing my daughters' rights to controlling their own bodies like every other male in this country currently has.

This mother fucker berates our dead soldiers. Hurls insults at anyone not white. Has the most insane, inept economic "policies". 

And he just (most likely) won the popular vote.

That's a real sobering thought about this place I've called home since I was born.

Let’s be honest, it was just inbred and dumb people that admitted voting for Trump.

The Project 2025 folks have had years of getting ready for this shit.  Maybe Trump doesn't push their agenda too much, but people like Paxton and Abbott here in Texas definitely will.

Edit And does it matter if it's being pushed at the national or state levels if it still affects you and the people around you?

I disagree. I'm about 80 percent thinking there will be no presidential election in 2028. Once they consolidate power and kick out the non loyalists in the fed who is going to stand up to them? The military will be under trump control. 

This was the day to defeat it and Americans chose a fascist dictator. It's 100 percent OVER

200 times more successful, huh? If that was true you'd think Biden wouldn't have such an awful approval rating and Kamala would be killing it tonight.

ESRD disproportionately affects poorer people and people of color. I don't know if you are either. But the Trump's lack of care about these groups affect you directly. Your life is ALREADY materially worse because of changes to the payment systems for Medicare and ESRD that were begun in the first (gulp) Trump administration (and continued in the Biden admin).

Services for ESRD patients are going to take another step down in 2025 because of bundling of more medications. Lord knows what else the Trump administration has in store RFK supposedly leading the charge on health and medical research.

I didn't call anyone a racist. Dumb--or at least low information--maybe. There's a reason that uneducated voters are Trump's bread and butter. But I know plenty of smart people who voted for Trump, almost exclusively for wallet issues. This is what I said: 

Quote

 

But some of us also care about others who aren't us. 

I don't blame people for voting selfishly--we all do to some extent--but a whole lot of people just voted for some mythical eradication of inflation/taxes at the expense of a whole fuck load of vulnerable people.

I don't disagree with you but what matter is it is a stone cold fact that the current administration is unpopular with the electorate. It doesn't matter how much you or I bitch and whine about the demonstrable good it has done, you still have to find a way to reach those people to win elections in America. It's either that or you hope for a perfect storm of a guy like Trump facefucking the country for 4 years and an honest to god pandemic so a boring, old Washington oldhead could fall face first into the White House. Thinking you were getting those kinds of numbers again is pure delusion.

Nobody has heard the N word “thousands of times at DKR”. Christ. I’ve never heard it once and I’ve been to probably 200 homes games in my life. If anyone audibly said that, they’d get told to STFU in pretty short order, and I sit with the blue hairs in section 5.

Yeah I don't have a clue why his approval rating was so bad. It was a miracle he got done what he got done and I thought most of it was good. He barely had a mandate but he got a lot done. Which was impressive.

So what do I know? It was the inflation and I knew that was going to be a problem. The Republicans were already saddling him with that before he was even sworn in and it worked. 

My main criticism of his and his administration was his insane choice to run again. That was a terrible idea. That may have destroyed everything.

So Jan. 6th was pretty much a nothingburger for past and present Trump voters. Wow. 

 

If the intention was to overthrow the government they probably would have brought more than selfie sticks and flag poles. Pretty hard to overthrow the government with the most powerful military in the world when those are your weapons.

At least there should be some interesting political theater between the Latino republicans and the white nationalists who hate and want to deport them.  

If Taylor Cafe has taught me anything it’s that the Mexicans sit with the whites and neither are with the blacks.
