| Trump voters don’t have buyer’s remorse. But some Hillary Clinton voters do. - Washington Post "Trump supporters say they aren't disappointed. In fact, a poll showed they were more pleased than disappointed, by about 5 to 1" ... "The poll showed just 7 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say Trump has performed worse than they expected him to. Fully 38 percent — five times as many — say he has performed better."   Yet it's strange. Here on MAL we have so many posters acting as if this is untrue. The general attitude around here would have you believe that most Trump voters were seemingly conned. Where do you guys feel is the explanation for this discrepancy? Do you feel MAL posters represent overall voters well? Do you feel there is some amount of disillusionment involved? |
| I'm neither American not care for this, but didn't Trump voters got literally all they wanted, why would they be disappointed at all? |
 One man is no more than another, if he do no more than what another does. |
Noesnecesario said: I don't believe they would be. Trump voters were informed and very passionate. It's my belief that people out there would trick you into believing that Trump voters regret their votes and would not re-elect him.I'm neither American not care for this, but didn't Trump voters got literally all they wanted, why would they be disappointed at all? |
| i voted for bernie, his policy seemed the most forward looking. registered democrat so it came down to trump/clinton both of whom were shit imo so i didnt vote. no regret except a hatred of the DNC and the system. Donnie beat the system but cant deliver on most of his promises. oh whelllll |

| Yeah, that is cognitive dissonance for you. (People don't like feeling they made the right choice when it is an important choice, and so they will typically justify why they made that choice) Although, this doesn't change the fact his approval rating is abysmal: (from the same site so if it is fake news then . . . ) |

Pirating_Ninja said: Nah, I figured people would accept my post as real news because it's a site that tends to align left.(from the same site so if it is fake news then . . . ) I'm surprised W. Bush's approval rating was so high. He was supposed to be the cause of everything. Pirating_Ninja said: What a coincidence, that was the same argument I was going to make 4 years from now about the people who still would have voted for Hillary.Yeah, that is cognitive dissonance for you. |
Takuan_Soho said: She's done. She won't run again. They might write her name in but she'll never be president.Thrashinuva said: I was going to make 4 years from now about the people who still would have voted for Hillary. Hell in 4 years they will probably have to vote for her again :-) |

| does not matter when Trump's rating is so low and half of the population wants to impeach him http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-low-approval-rating-first-100-days-2017-4 https://www.indy100.com/article/nearly-half-americans-impeach-donald-trump-paul-ryan-data-low-approval-7661856 |

Takuan_Soho said: On your part? Most Trump supporters are not stupid, they knew that it would be next to impossible for Trump to get things done quickly or at all, after all he ran against the Republican Establishment as well. So their criteria for success was far more realistic, and this is why they are not disappointed. Plus he over delivered on what, to many, was the reason they voted for him: the USSC. not really what i heard. more than a few people got misled by the whole anti-establishment thing. He was anti-republican but what does that accomplish? he had to join in, make promises that he knew he couldnt deliever because now his hands are bound by foriegn politics and to the companies that he funded and continues to fund. anti republican not anti establishment like bernie was. he played the game right and got ruined before he got a chance. Hillary wont run again, pls no those figures are interesting though, guess im a minority/doesnt show up well on a graph, if you add up the %s that didnt vote or w/e its 91 to 96. I still think its closer than it shows. dunno much though. |

| People are slowly realizing that Clinton was selling a combination of snake oil and tyranny, you could see it in her eyes from the beginning. |

Thrashinuva said: j0x said: It's almost as if half of the population didn't vote for him.half of the population wants to impeach him true but the point im trying to make is that Trump failed on uniting america as he promised http://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-goldberg-trump-john-lewis-20170117-story.html americans are so divided right now because of him |
Thrashinuva said: OmegaSiets said: If the con man gives you everything you ever desired, was it a really ever a con?There's a big difference between Trump supporters thinking they were conned and whether they were actually conned. source for that he gave everything they desired? because there are news reports saying Trump failed most of his 100 days promises |

Takuan_Soho said: j0x said: americans are so divided right now because of him LOL, Trump had nothing to do with the divide, it has been this way since at least 2000. sure but still Trump failed on his promise to unite your country |
j0x said: Doesn't happen over night. Might not even happen within 4 years. Might not even happen within 8. The idea is that the path Trump will take us on will lead to a United America.Thrashinuva said: true but the point im trying to make is that Trump failed on uniting america as he promisedIt's almost as if half of the population didn't vote for him. Dr-Eyes said: That's a good theory, but we still have posters in this very topic speaking about low approval ratings. We still have conflicting data.Many users in Current Events are not Americans. |
Takuan_Soho said: j0x said: sure but still Trump failed on his promise to unite your country You think a problem that has been growing for over 16 (although 45 would be closer to the point) years can be fixed in 100 days? Maybe the problem is with your expectations? It's like blaming him for not "fixing" North Korea in 100 days.... well im not that one who promise such an unrealistic thing, and there are other unrealistic things he promised too that he failed to deliver on his first 100 days according to news reports |
j0x said: Even if this should be true, why is there such a discrepancy between your attitude of a Trump administration failure and the attitude of a Trump administration success among his voters?there are other unrealistic things he promised too that he failed to deliver on his first 100 days |
| aight aight aight how about in 60+ years we go and ask what your kids/you(if youre young) think of trump and his policies. cant be truly sure until then id think, I try and keep an open mind, HAVE HOPE |

| I would have regretted voting for either one. |

Takuan_Soho said: j0x said: well im not that one who promise such an unrealistic thing, and there are other unrealistic things he promised too that he failed to deliver on his first 100 days according to news reports "According to New Reports", ah, there is your first problem. The News in the US (and the world) is incredibly biased - nearly 90% of all articles on Trump are negative - and not honest policy differences mind you, but over the top, serious moonbat craziness. Like an MSNBC reporter blaming the riots in Venezuela on Trump. The whole 100 days meme was invented by the media to attack Trump on, much like the "worked with the Russians" thread. funny you can blame other factors when it comes to Trump? like Trump can do no wrong? sure the media is bias, im aware of that, but i would rather get info from mainstream media than unknown/popular news sources that are labeled for alternative facts and conspiracy theories |
Takuan_Soho said: j0x said: funny you can blame other factors when it comes to Trump? like Trump can do no wrong? Funny how everything is either/or for you. As an American I have been watching this for 18 months now. I was initially anti-Trump, but watching the MSM and even so called "conservative" sites like NRO and the Federalist go literally insane, I decided that Trump is what this country deserves (and less face it Hillary is a horrible person and would have been a horrible President - even her own supporters are starting to say it). I also enjoy watching people absolutely lose their sense of reason and start foaming at the mouth over him. did we really have to accept those two, straight would have preferred a fucking revolt... mark me down as "disappointed" ;) sense of REASON PLZ |

I also enjoy watching people absolutely lose their sense of reason and start foaming at the mouth over him. im no american but i have relatives there and the world economy still heavily relies on the strength of the USA dollars so thats why im concerned if i were american i would have voted for Hillary just because she is like Obama 2 so the status quo stays unlike now that the risk is so high with Trump, good thing that check and balances are at work like the judiciary there and some republican politicians are countering the bad actions of Trump |
Thrashinuva said: j0x said: "Everyone but me is in denial."the Trump voters are in denial or ignorant of his track record on his first 100 days for example? err have you seen this news? Sean Spicer is unable to name a single legislative success from Donald Trump's first 100 days https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1608989 im not simply boasting around that im aware of things but news like that says a lot |
Takuan_Soho said: j0x said: welp lets talk about Trump and not me here, funny when it comes to discussing about Trump here i notice the Trump supporters attack my character rather than defending Trump's position or even his character im no american but i have relatives there and the world economy still heavily relies on the strength of the USA dollars so thats why im concerned if i were american i would have voted for Hillary just because she is like Obama 2 so the status quo stays unlike now that the risk is so high with Trump, good thing that check and balances are at work like the judiciary there and some republican politicians are countering the bad actions of Trump Uhm, you were the one who took it personal first. That's what's funny about TDS, the people who suffer from it not only don't notice but think its a virtue. welp i deleted that line when i realize i kinda attack you first, but it was more of a honest observation from your posts on this thread that you seem to defend all Trumps actions/decisions like he can do nothing wrong, but when it comes to other politicians like Hillary you freely attack her as a person and not about her platform |

j0x said: Contrary to your statement, that doesn't say a lot.Thrashinuva said: that even Trump's staff are ignorant or in denial of their accomplishments at least on their first 100 daysAnd what exactly does it say? |
Thrashinuva said: j0x said: Contrary to your statement, that doesn't say a lot.that even Trump's staff are ignorant or in denial of their accomplishments at least on their first 100 days Trump pridefully said that he will get things done easily unlike old presidents/politicians but look at him now struggling (especially early on this first 100 days), he underestimated governing a country, he should have never promise unrealistic things so Trump is just like any other president/politician, all talk and promises thats all for me here |
j0x said: Did he really say that? I only remember the promise to work on things as soon as possible, and to get things done as quickly as possible. Rome wasn't built in a day, and no one assumed the wall would be either.Thrashinuva said: Trump pridefully said that he will get things done easilyContrary to your statement, that doesn't say a lot. |
Takuan_Soho said: They got their Supreme Court Judge, illegal immigration is down 2/3rds even before the wall, and most of Obama's unconstitutional regulations have been rolled back. Had Trump gone all in on Syria, there would be far more disappointment, but I think the vast majority agreed with Trump's limited action regarding WMD. I personally have been waiting nearly 30 years for a President to take North Korea seriously - so I am pleasantly surprised with Trump on that (it would have been easier for him to keep his head in the sand). j0x said: but when it comes to other politicians like Hillary you freely attack her as a person and not about her platform Well, from the start I said no to both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton - there is something wrong with having too many people from the same families control the country. Ironically I have met Jeb Bush, nice guy, I think his heart is in the right place, but no, enough is enough. As for Hillary, the recent book about her campaign shows how lucky we were to avoid her: paranoid, incompetent, vindictive, petty - and these were writers who were going to write a book praising her (until she lost). Had she won, we would have invaded Syria. She is a war hawk, and she would have wanted to prove herself too much. So count your blessings World, you don't know what you avoided. Yeah Hillary was a bad idea but about the supreme court; the GOP stalled the fuck out of Obamas for how long ? over a year wasn't it? Then they get all pissed when they're pissed, etc War hawks exist in the trump admin have no fear, trump actually did o k in syria but he couldnt even get the country right when asked about it :( Legislation isnt that important for a pres yes but internationally he's the most powerful man in the world. how? Give me this shit I got it/// sometimes i remember we're all just monkey with big brains but idk, makes me wanna leave earth lol >) |
