Nine percent of self-described Democrats voted for Donald Trump according to the New YorkTimes. If that shocks you, you might want to sit down for the rest.
Fourteen percent of LGBT people admitted to pollsters that they voted for Donald Trump – who has said he thinks businesses should be able to discriminate against LGBT people. Let that sink in for a moment.
Twenty-nine percent of Latinos chose Trump over Clinton. That’s a larger percentage than Mitt Romney got in the last election. Sit with that. Just sit with it.
Forty-two percent of women voted for the man who bragged about using his celebrity status to sexually assault women and described them in the most vulgar and sexist ways possible. It almost seems impossible, doesn’t it?
Forty-five percent of college graduates and 49% of white college graduates picked the candidate who is least experienced and capable of running the American government. What sense does that make? You don’t need a degree to see how stupid that is.
Forty-one percent of people making under $30,000/year, 42% of those with annual incomes between $30,000 – 49,999, and an amazing 50% of those with incomes between $50,000 – $99,999 voted for the man who pledged to raise their taxes to give it to those making millions every year. Why would you choose to take money out of your own pocket to put in some random billionaire’s?
Eighty-one percent of white evangelicals voted for the candidate who literally embodied the seven deadly sins. They said God would work “through him” so it didn’t matter what sins he committed – like allegations of pedophilia, tax dodging, or swindling people.
More Republicans told exit pollsters that they disliked Hillary Clinton more than they liked Donald Trump. Maybe “I don’t really like him either” will salve their conscience.
America has turned itself inside out to elect a con man and racist. That’s not a statistic from the Times. That’s just a fact.

So based on the above, 58% of women voted for a pathological liar who supported and encouraged a habitual sexual abuser of women.
‘Fourteen Percent of LGBT People’ I always see only percentages, but never any clear numbers. How many people are these 14 %? How many of all voters are LGBT people? Compared to people who are straight, this can be only a small minority. And out of this small minority 14 percent vote for Trump? I don’t think this will change the result of that election very much. So far Trump has 290 confirmed and Hillary only 232, and likely Trump will increase his 290 to 306 electorial votes. To call Trump a con man and a racist is by far… Read more »
Maybe next time the democrats shouldn’t assume they’re entitled to someone’s vote just because they aren’t a straight white male?
“Nine percent of self-described Democrats …” It doesn’t shock me at all. Why should it shock anyone? The DNC didn’t listen to what the constituents were saying. “Fourteen percent of LGBT people admitted .. “ Yes, business should not be strong armed and “forced” to provide services for events that they are against. That includes Muslims. Difference is that the left didn’t have to the guts to set them up. Yet time and again, videos showed Muslim businesses refusal to provide services for gay events. “Twenty-nine percent of Latinos chose Trump over Clinton.” My Mexican wife and her family are… Read more »
‘Lisa, is this one of the articles that you believe will bring us together?’ This is a good question and I hope similar to another thread, Lisa will show up and answer this question. So far I see only pro-Clinton articles and follow-up comments are almost all pro-Trump – and this despite various pro-Trump comments were sent into moderation and never came back. If you watch the foreign press and follow-up comments from people like I myself who are foreigners, living abroad and merely observers, you will find many who are for Trump and want the Clinton/Obama people to be… Read more »
It’s not only the foreign press, it’s foreigners. Main stream media barely covers what’s really happening in in European countries. I speak to my son in Germany and he has a completely different view of what’s happening here. BTW, he and his wife are thrilled that we voted for Trump and that Trump got in.
My reply disappeared, it was there for a minute and is now under mode.ration. Somewhat tiresome.
the modding is getting kind of bizarre around here. a solid 50% of my posts are deleted. I don’t engage in personal attacks, I cite facts, concepts and opinions none of which are discriminatory or hateful. Dissent is no longer being tolerated.
Good to know it’s not only me. There are now not so many people writing follow-up comments like some years ago when it was created to become a middle ground for both – men’s opinions and women’s opinions.
It seems this is not longer the case. I wonder if Lisa, the CEO, has any comment – it does not make any sense any more to write a follow-up comment, it’s time-waste.
Goes back to what I’ve been saying about the liberal media all along, They can’t be trusted …
My reply to you also disappeared into mode.ration. I have no idea why.
