This is the kind of elitist, holier-than-thou, attitude that created a silent majority in the first place. There's probably a middle ground here that you're alienating by using such crude stereotypes.
- ap22213 10y agoI'm open to understanding the people in the middle ground. Who are they, what do they want, and what do they stand for?
- gnaritas 10y agoThey do not have a majority, silent or not, she will win the popular vote. Stop this nonsense of pretending they're a majority, they are not. Trump won the electoral college, not the majority of votes.
- tmorgan175 10y agoThat's just semantics. Are you refuting that there was a large population of people in swing states that voted contrary to polling and forecasts?
- gnaritas 10y agoNo, it isn't semantics; more people voted for Clinton, therefore there is no silent majority voting for Trump; that is a fact. Yes polling overlooked a big chunk of people who voted for Trump, but that chunk is not a silent majority by any stretch of the imagination.
- tmorgan175 10y agoNationwide, no. In those specific states, yes. It was a majority.
- goatlover 10y agoCalifornia and New York help Clinton's numbers quite a bit.
- tmorgan175 10y agoAnd what is your argument exactly? Because Clinton won the POPULAR vote by .1 percentage points you can trivialize and insult 50% of the country?
- gnaritas 10y agoIs that a real question? Because do please show me where I'm insulting 50% of the country. Are you claiming that me saying they aren't a majority constitutes an insult? That's pretty bold, yet that's all I've said so you really can't be referring to anything else.
