Tired and just pondering something ..... how come TV stations are showing stats for how blacks/whites/hispanics voted (their labels) for either Clinton or Trump. Aren't we all supposed to be equal and not refer to colour.
Because they thought women and minority groups would get Clinton over the line, considering the racist and sexist views Trump expressed. They also assumed they would be the "silent majority". There was a "silent majority", but they were all voting for Trump, which is why the polls and pundits got it so wrong. Few people wanted to admit they were going to vote for Trump for fear of being labeled sexist and racist. So they kept quiet until they were in the privacy of the voting booth.
Anyway, now that the shock has worn off a bit, I've decided to have a more optimistic view about it all because I just hate all the negativity. The Republicans have full control now, so on the upside that may mean that things can be achieved instead of there being so much infighting. There are also a lot of checks and balances in the system, so Trump will never be allowed to just run riot like a lot of people think he will. He will have to toe the party line just like everyone else.
It may also mean that a few other governments around the world will take a long hard look at themselves and realise that they have to start listening to what people actually want, instead of just covering their ears and going "la la la la la la".
And if all else fails ...... Kanye 2020.....
