It's annoying but how ironic is it that Trump was huge in questioning the legitimacy of Obama's election in regard to the birth certificate. What goes around comes around.
White women are now being called ignorant and racist....by other women! Just read this and understand that being white is purposely being painted as inherently evil and blind to "real" problems of minority women. "Many thousands of women are expected to converge on the nation’s capital for the Women’s March on Washington the day after Donald J. Trump’s inauguration. Jennifer Willis no longer plans to be one of them. Ms. Willis, a 50-year-old wedding minister from South Carolina, had looked forward to taking her daughters to the march. Then she read a post on the Facebook page for the march that made her feel unwelcome because she is white. The post, written by a black activist from Brooklyn who is a march volunteer, advised “white allies” to listen more and talk less. It also chided those who, it said, were only now waking up to racism because of the election. “You don’t just get to join because now you’re scared, too,” read the post. “I was born scared.”..... For too long, the march organizers said, the women’s rights movement focused on issues that were important to well-off white women, such as the ability to work outside the home and attain the same high-powered positions that men do. But minority women, they said, have had different priorities. Black women who have worked their whole lives as maids might care more about the minimum wage or police brutality than about seeing a woman in the White House. Undocumented immigrant women might care about abortion rights, they said, but not nearly as much as they worry about being deported. This brand of feminism — frequently referred to as “intersectionality” — asks white women to acknowledge that they have had it easier.

I'm a Republican but have the ability to see things the way they are. Like I said, it's annoying but I have this thing about people being hypocritical and I catch myself slipping sometimes, on this one. Any part of what I said not true?
I can't remember what happened 8 days ago, much less 8 years. Like you, I'm a lifelong Republican. I vote, but that's about the extent of my involvement in politics today.
See, say something like what you said you instantly get called a closet democrat. You just got Trump'd. Apparently you must pick a side. You can't dislike both democrats and republicans. You can't be critical of both without being called the other.
Nothing new here. I give another college team a comp and I'm a fan of them. USC, Bama, etc. I'm sure you've seen.
Trump perpetuated the birther movement thing. Trump does say shit that he seems to just make up. He seems to be threatened and his immediate response is "Win now, sprain later." We (his supporters) have let him off the hook a lot. I have a feeling his knee jerk reactions may hurt him and us down the road. Gonna be a fun ride though. He's like the drunk uncle at the family reunion.
