The United States of Hypocrites
[spoiler]*A Wild Gringo has appeared*[/spoiler]
As the election spurs down and people emotionally cope with Trumps victory and people who dislike Trump's victory, I feel like now would be a great time to share my observations about the hypocrisy of a Post-Election America.
Let me explain.
[spoiler]Just to say I disliked Trump more than I did Hillary but I assure, I am calling everyone out on this. [spoiler]
When the election was in full swing, a big proponent of Trump's campaign was that he claimed that the election was rigged. During a debate when asked if he would accept the results of the election, Trump claimed he would wait and see. This made headlines and for good reason. Hillary Clinton said that if you do not accept the results of the election, you undermine the republic we love so dearly in America. Hillary supporters generally jumped on this opportunity to say that Trump and his supporters were sore losers and were putting themselves in front of the country. Trump and his supporters stood firmly and said the election was rigged. Many said they would protest Hillary's win since they claimed it would be unfair. Both sides stood by this...
Until Trump won.
Hillary supporters took to the streets and protested the election claiming it was rigged and demanded a recount. Trump and his supporters called them out as "crybabies" and "sore losers". Hashtags were formed and Jill Stein (because why not) even got recounts in a few places. Hillary supporters blamed the electoral college since she had won the popular vote and Trump supporters denounced them for trying to undermine the republic we love so dearly in America.
Do you see what I am getting at? You can not denounce someone for saying they will protest the results, and then continue to do that very same thing yourself. You can not say that you will protest the results and then mock those who do just that. It is hypocritical and the amount of people partaking in this idiocy is astonishing. While the election is running down and people go back to their lives, I thought it was just something to bring up.

1 ReplyEdited by GG ALLIN RIP: 12/10/2016 5:37:02 PMTrump is a known con man. How hard would it be to believe that he was saying that knowing that Dems would counter it and say the system works, THEN participate in the same behavior he claims to be a victim of? Hillary also got 1.8 million votes more than he did. How is that not rigged, or at least total bullshit? There IS some shady shit going on this election. This is also what happened in 2000 and again in 2004. Back then New Mexico, Florida, and Ohio all had what was referred to as "phantom votes" (more votes on the machines than there was voters), and there was also a sizeable amount of votes from the deceased. Obama is currently pushing the intelligence community to be forthcoming with what they know about Russia likely meddling in the election. Mark my words that there will likely be a huge scandal involved with this con man, but this is America and bullshit is our way of life and elections are just pageantry to make the public feel like they actually have a say. He'll either be completely ineffective, a huge failure, or just used as a distraction for a conservative senate to push their agenda.
