[b]2. The Social Media is powerful yet not as powerful as it seems: Going by the SM polls and atmosphere, one would have thought Hillary would win by a landslide however...[/b]

3. Discern the people that matter: Hillary was canvassing to the Blacks and Latinos (most of whom probably were not eligible to vote); Donald went to the core voters... The white men. Also, American's electoral voting system means some states are weightier than others. Imagine jacking all day for a 2units course and leaving your 6unit project to chance.

4. Strike the people that matter in the right place: Trump hit the white men/women where they wanted... Blacks are too much in their country and they wanted them out etc. His political incorrectness interestingly worked for him

5. You don't have to be good to be liked/wanted: Donald Trump / He did not have to be like 'Gentleman Obama' to get same results.

6. Turn your lemons to lemonade: With all the negative press, Donald's campaign team managed and rode on the negatives to success

7. People do not always mean what they say/ say what they mean: Who would have thought Trump would have any supporter/ vote with all the 'he is anti-woman/anti-gay/anti-black/anti-(fill in the gap)'? Who would have believed that the same women/Black/Latinos would vote for him more than Hillary? According to Huffington post, majority of the women, blacks & Latinos voted Trump.

8. No knowledge is 'lost': Donald did not have the experience/knowlegde of politricks however he is a successful business man and he brought his business sense to the campaign/ movement. He fitted his gift into the suitation and utilized it well.

This also confirmed that beneath the façade of liberalism and modern-feminism, Americans are a very conservative and traditional lot.

Its also funny when some posters on this forum brag about how the West and America is the standard and would tell us this can only happen in Nigeria/Africa

I wonder if in Nigeria a man who

- Has 5 kids from 3 wives and was openly cheating on each of them, actually he took the 1st and 2nd to a holiday resort to fight it out
- Openly said if he came home and doesnt meet food on his table he loses it
- Says you have to treat women like shitt
- Babies and pregnancy are an inconvenience
- Insults a woman by referring to "Blood coming out of her everywhere
- Calls women pigs sluts, bimbos fat and every degrading name

Is now voted as President

Nigerian women would have sworn this cant happen in advanced countries and berate Africa for all wrong in the world

cococandy:
The main lesson to learn is that most of them are still in their hearts racist, misogynist, homophobic and whatever else Trump represents.

It means never relax in the fight against segregation and discrimination because it's only the laws that keep people 'good'. When they have the chance to be themselves without repercussions, their anti-other-humans-who-are-not-like-us sides will come glaring.

raumdeuter:


You get it.

The same America most people on here will use as an excuse to ridicule anything African and when I always tell them in most cases America is not much different they go up in arms

If they had told you 2 yrs ago that one country voted a open misogyny racist/tribalist, who bragged about grabbing women by the poosie mocked the disabled, made fun of womens anatomy

At least 80% of people here will swear that can only happen in backward Africa and never in the West aka USA

That people prefer to trust their feelings, their religion and their anger over any facts, knowledge, experience and preparedness. And it's okay to do whatever the hell you want to do, as long as you can tap into the popular feeling going around, you will win people over. And then screw them later. Very Nigerian behaviour. Which is what I have constantly said about Americans.

So most likely Ayo Fayose is our next President. You heard it here first!

Strangely, I keep seeing pictures and videos of white teens in schools chanting "go home niggurs", "cotton pickers", "white power", "build the wall" and a uni in San Diego has had an attack on a Muslim girl . Wonder what's causing all this? I mean, Trump is great for America, he's a Christian, we Nigerians (whom are Black) love himmm!!!

This means that women only show they love their fellow women outwardly but deep within them,they would never support a woman to become a leader.

Modern-feminism will have a hard time staying.

Mindfulness:


Trump has made racist, islamophobic and sexist remarks but that does not mean that his voters or most of them are racist, sexist or islamophobic.
I would have never voted for him but voting for Hillary would make me lose sleep as well. Americans had the choice between pest and cholera and Trump seemed like the lesser of the two evils to many and for reasons I can understand. Hillary fvcked it all up. She did not have what it takes and her campaign was ineffective. I saw this coming.

Most people are simple. They want simple solutions to complex problems and The Donald had them whereas Hillary was representing the elites that simple people do not understand and do not trust. The same elites that they feel betrayed them.

These elections pretty much remind me of the Brexit disaster. Take back control was the slogan that made people feel strong and powerful again when in fact Brexit means the opposite but looking back at how the Brexiters campaigned, it was much more effective as it appealed to people in simple terms. Make America great again is a better slogan than Stronger Together.

It is all about how you sell yourself but I am pretty happy Brexiters won and Trump did so too. They must deliver now. The NHS has not seen all the millions they were promised yet and will not see them ever.

I want to see the wall Trump promised to build and have Mexicans pay for it. And I want to see how he will successfully isolate the USA in times of globalization, boost the economy and create the jobs. I am also waiting for more populists to govern Europe. People will be hungry soon. History repeats itself. I wish we could avoid it but since every Dick and Harry acts like an expert on politics and economics nowadays, let them deliver.

Mindfulness:


I agree that her campaign strategy was poorly thought out but I believe that she made a HUGE mistake by running for presidency in the first place.



That's the problem.

You insinuate that there is no conservative agenda promoted on the media. There is so stop complaining.

Isn't it strange that women want a woman to be president just for the sake of it? And any man who doesn't vote a woman is a misogynist who isn't ready for a woman president. . Never mind that more white women voted Trump than Hillary. Trump got 53% of the white woman's vote. . Le Trump also got 45% of college educated white women voted to Hillary's 51%. I could go on and on about the statistics of voting but that would probably be pointless. But the media will try to tell you it's uneducated, basement-deelling white men who voted Trump in. Bullshit. Bullshit, I say.

But I think the most important lesson for you should be never to trust the mainstream media. Forget whatever CNN is saying, they have/had an agenda and pursued it till the very end, and were shocked, shocked I say.

Did you learn from the media about Hillary getting leaked questions to the presidential debates? I guess not. Why? Because they wanted it all hush hush. Guess who leaked the question to Clinton, a CNN operative. Oh, the shock. Now, imagine if it was found out that Trump leaked questions, the furore would be deafening. I guess Hillary is special and untouchable and above the law.

And no, Trump isn't anti-everything, he's anti anything that is anti American welfare.l, and he is not afraid to say so. That is the reason he won because he said he wasgoing to protect the interests of the average American. Trump got millions of black votes, don't get it twisted. The black voters who cast for Clinton are very likely on welfare , and that is a great incentive to vote Democrat. The leftwing media is in shock but a certain dude named Michael Moore, a Clinton supporter, expressly stated why Trump would win and it had nothing to do at all with bigotry or racism. This is a guy who hates Trump telling the world Trump's strwnght, but I guess it was a little too late.

Anyway, I'm happy he won. After all, we misogynists do tend to stick together.

What I learned? "Tell Ze haters to go and die."

Fox does not count? Why?

3. Any Democratic member of Congress who didn’t wake up this morning ready to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those of us who know the score lead the way in stopping the meanness and the madness that's about to begin.

4. Everyone must stop saying they are “stunned” and “shocked.” What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren’t paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all “You're fired!” Trump’s victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and the media will never own that.

5. You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: “HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!” The MAJORITY of our fellow Americans preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Period. Fact. If you woke up this morning thinking you live in an effed-up country, you don’t. The majority of your fellow Americans wanted Hillary, not Trump. The only reason he’s president is because of an arcane, insane 18th-century idea called the Electoral College. Until we change that, we’ll continue to have presidents we didn’t elect and didn’t want. You live in a country where a majority of its citizens have said they believe there’s climate change, they believe women should be paid the same as men, they want a debt-free college education, they don’t want us invading countries, they want a raise in the minimum wage and they want a single-payer true universal health care system. None of that has changed. We live in a country where the majority agree with the “liberal” position. We just lack the liberal leadership to make that happen (see: #1 above). Let's try to get this all done by noon today. -- Michael Moore

On the other hand I hope he surprises us all to become the exact opposite of what people expect.

Until then he doesn't have my respect. He's never respected Obama so he should not expect others to hand it to him. He has to earn it.

Any black man celebrating Trump's victory because of his own hate for women is just a pathetic creature.

I've seen some of them on facebook. Out of touch bruvs. Trump really loves your black arse.
That's why he spent all his political campaign blasting obama.

cyrilamx:
Your hatred for Trump won't let u see the Bigger picture. Hillary lost for so many reasons. One she plan to continue the unpopular Obamacare which is even very expensive and out of the reach of average Americans. 2. She is an avowed abortionists and planned to increase federal funding of planned parent hood which incensed the Conservative Christians especially the catholics who re the largest denominations. About 5,000,000 babies are Aborted in America yearly and black women account for 31 percent of abortions. 3. She planned to continue with Obama's promotion of homosexuality, forcing if religious group to wed guys, lesbians, transgender, and many like reason 2 above were determined against her ascension to the White house. 4. Many Americans never forgave her for causing the death of four Americans including an ambassador in Benghazi,Libya and the email scandals despite FBI exonerating her. 5. The attempt where her campaign team attempted to stir a revolution with the Catholic Church was one of her greatest undoing. This greatly incensed catholics who love their church so much despite not really living up to its teachings.

No, I actually think the idea that women wanted to be treated the modern way vs the traditional way, Is actually to sell to the media most dont actually believe it
The ideas they sell on paper is against what they believe

Most women especially white women desire a man like Trump and to be treated like Trump says. What policy does Trump really have that will make you support a man who openly denigrates people like you for their biological makeup

I recently posted an article that many women find guys who stay home, doing chores and helping out undesirable and choose the alpha males who dont

I have attended several churches and gathering in the US that are white dominated and most of the women dont work and dont want any of those women liberation stuff, They actually bully and lash at women who choose to work even ganging up on them names for not doing what nature wants females to do
