And then hates us because we are responsible, educate our children, want clean air, healthy food, etc.

I live in rural Oregon and I see these idiots every day, eating nothing but fast food, smoking, driving a 10 mpg suburban with a beer in one hand to get more beer, gas and smokes every single day (planning ahead? Um, no.)

And they blame the libtards and Mexicans for their poor health and finances. Cause and effect mean nothing to these people, nor does personal responsibility. They can't be reasoned with. They are terminally stupid.

...and 108,856,312 DID NOT VOTE.

There are approximately 237,659,042 possible voters in the United States.

I would say of the persons that voted tRumP*, probably 30,000,000 are true believers and will support tRumP* through thick and thin. We will NEVER change their minds. It is an ingrained tribal thing. Point is, IT IS NOT 50/50.

And once take into account: (1) Russian interference in all its forms; and (2) the Comey* surprise, it becomes apparent, at least to me, that Clinton probably won the popular vote by more than reported.

A clear MINORITY in this Country is holding the rest of us, HOSTAGE.

Because their base gets out and VOTES. They don't stay at home wringing their hands because their favorite Woman/PoC/Progressive/Centrist candidate wasn't nominated, if the primary voters choose Benito Pinochet Hitler III as nominee the GOP base hold their noses and VOTE.

I like to bring up the example of this I saw in Missouri: An 80 something woman standing in line, in the pouring rain, to cast her vote.

There wasn't a single person at the polling place under the age of 40 other than myself. I went back around closing time and it was still middle aged and older despite being the polling place for the nearby university housing and an apartment complex that is loaded with young families, people that skew Dem.

PLONK (ignore) them
https://web.archive.org/web/20080820062138/http://rs79.vrx.net/works/usenet/terms/plonk/

*Plonk* noun The sound made when somebody drops into your killfile.

Plonk (Usenet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses, see Plonk.
Plonk is a Usenet jargon term for adding a particular poster to one's kill file so that poster's future postings are completely ignored. It was first used in 1989, and by 1994[1] was a commonly used term on Usenet. To publicly repudiate a poster, it is added to one's reply or is simply used as the entire, one-word reply. It is also used as a verb, as in: "I plonked that idiot". The word is an example of onomatopoeia, intended to humorously represent the metaphorical sound[2] of the plonked user hitting the bottom of the kill file (imagined perhaps as a bit bucket).

Folk etymology sometimes gives the term's origin as an acronym of various phrases, although in truth they are backronyms. These backronyms include: Please Log Off, Net Kook; Put Lamer On Killfile[3] and Please Leave Our Newsgroup: Killfile! The term's usage later expanded to include blocking messages from annoying senders by using e-mail filters that delete incoming messages based on criteria set by the email recipient. Plonk has similarly been used on BBSes, online forums, blogs, IRC (Internet Relay Chat), and wikis (which usually do not have filters). It is occasionally used in reference to blocking a user on instant messaging (IM) or a social media site.

Trump’s Base? Let’s talk about that. I am a native Southerner, a former U.S. Marine, A Vietnam Combat Veteran But a lifelong Democrat. These people that support King Don are brainwashed. There are evangelical so-called Christians who truly believe that Trump upholds all that is written in the Bible. Yet he consorts with prostitutes, pays out large sums of cash to cover these sordid affairs up and he resorts to blaming all of his shortcomings on someone else often using profanity to do so. Then there are the Nazi’s and White Supremacy Groups who are there because Trump has played up to their messages of hate and bigotry. Then there are the “brain dead” white southerners who simply believe virtually everything the man says. King Don has convinced these people that everything that spews forth from his mouth is the truth and the actual truth is fake news. This is in itself extremely dangerous to our democracy because it is a virtual repetition of what happened in Nazi Germany in 1939. And it is not just Trump. I have had to fight tooth and nail to preserve my wife’s healthcare (Obamacare). My wife is blind and yet the GOP didn’t give a tinker’s damn about her or anyone like her. Make NO mistake! The Democrats MUST take back the House of Representatives or the Senate or both. That would reverse a lot of the evil they have put upon the American people and would effectively put a check on Trump until we can get him out of office. Work hard my friends because failure is not an option!
