What We're Seeing On Election Day [Schadenfraude]
The New York Times ^ | November 8, 2016 | The Deep State

Posted on 11/08/2016 8:37:55 PM PST by JOHN ADAMS

It turns out that we were wrong. There turn out to be a huge number of people — white people, living mainly in rural areas — who don’t share at all our idea of what America is about. For them, it is about blood and soil, about traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy. And there were many other people who might not share those anti-democratic values, but who nonetheless were willing to vote for anyone bearing the Republican label.

I don’t know how we go forward from here. Is America a failed state and society? It looks truly possible. I guess we have to pick ourselves up and try to find a way forward, but this has been a night of terrible revelations, and I don’t think it’s self-indulgent to feel quite a lot of despair.

Anybody with an appetite for gloating can linger on this page if they wish. I know it made me feel even more better than I was already feeling.

The NYT is admitting this, without being in a court of law situation? We shall see what holds as ‘truth’. We shall see what the morning brings.

I’ve had liberals tell me I’m not really a woman or sexist because I don’t support Clinton.

If we elect a criminal we are a failed state.

So Trump wins because rural whites want “traditional patriarchy and racial hierarchy.” LOL. I just love it. He was probably spitting on his computer as he wrote it. To quote that old, dead arrogant Lib Peter Jennings:

Ask parents of any two-year-old and they can tell you about those temper tantrums: the stomping feet, the rolling eyes, the screaming. It’s clear that the anger controls the child and not the other way around. It’s the job of the parent to teach the child to control the anger and channel it in a positive way. Imagine a nation full of uncontrolled two-year-old rage. The New York Times reporters are having a temper tantrum tonight.

Watch these bar stool globalist philosophers gyre and gimbal like the circus performers they are. The big top is on fire and their clowns are stumbling over each other with water buckets splashing about. The next couple of years are going to be really seriously unquestionably interesting...

"...who don’t share at all our idea of what America is about..."

In my entire life, I don't think I have ever, EVER, heard truer words than those.

We utterly, and COMPLETELY reject your racist, victim-worshiping, perverted, twisted, feminized, socialist, nanny-state ideas of what America is about.

100%.
