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.

  • You're just beginning to see through the charade. Politicians apply whatever rhetoric necessary to achieve their goals. It's all bullshit. None of it's true and all of it's true. Hillary opposed gay marriage her entire life. That didn't stop her from being an advocate. There are no conservatives and no liberals. There is no ideology. We simply have liars pandering to an audience while cutting back room deals with their lobbyists so they have more money to effectively pander to their audience.
