Summary
Ku Klux Klan flyers were distributed across 11 cities in northern Indiana, with the Trinity White Knights, a Kentucky-based KKK chapter, claiming responsibility.
Residents expressed outrage and discomfort, condemning the hateful message and its divisive tone.
Residents described the flyers as disturbing and emphasized the need for peaceful and just approaches to addressing societal issues.
The incident highlights ongoing challenges with extremist messaging in communities.
No it isn’t. Would be cool if people would stop saying that. Only about 30% of Americans spoke up to say they wanted this
The people who sat on the couch are just as responsible for this as the people who voted him in. He actually won the popular vote this time around, so between the 2 groups this is what they wanted.
No
Can you expand upon that? Everyone knew that a vote for Trump/3rd party/or not voting at all was to Trump’s benefit. Did you see a model or theory that would allow Trump to get more votes and still lose the electoral college? Or is your argument that people that only enabled Trump but didn’t vote for him shouldn’t be put in the same bucket?
I’m in the US, I voted against Trump, I’m likely going to suffer if he is able to accomplish a smidgen of what he has talked about, and I think we got what we deserved. I know a lot of innocent people are going to suffer, but this is a country of very selfish people. Even some of the most liberal people I have met in this country still have a very selfish mindset and reason for the liberal bent. As soon as they attain a position where they have an advantage they basically pull up the ladder. I’m personally tired of it.
People are going to die, ecosystems are going to burn, countries may very well fall. My only hope is that things only get bad enough that the masses learn an important lesson that at least lasts for their generation and that recovery is possible in that time frame.
It’s not that I don’t care. It’s not even that I don’t have the fight left in me. I just don’t see any kind of path to a better place without substantial harm occurring first. I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong.
And almost half of the population couldn’t be bothered to get off their asses and say “no, we fucking don’t want this”.
A good chunk of those folks stayed home to say “we don’t want any of this.”
Arguing that that means they wanted trump is kinda like saying if you don’t call the police after witnessing an old lady get robbed, it means you wanted her to get robbed. Maybe they just don’t wanna participate in a fucked up system
Tough shit, they have no choice.
That is what it means
Protests are for the “we don’t want any of this”
So, by their inaction they ended up with the worse of the 2 outcomes.
Brilliant strategy…
Do you genuinely believe that if you ask the average non-voter “did you want trump to win?” that they’ll say “yes”?
That, or “I don’t care”.
That’s how democracy works though. People didn’t show up, so it’s the same as voting him in effectively
He won the popular vote. Yes it is.
