10. What else can we do?
Wed Nov 30, 2016, 02:28 PM
Nov 2016

How do you compete with a known liar and crook who lies real loud and his supporters DO NOT CARE. They dont care if he is lying, we put that black muslim in the whitehouse and they were going to make us pay. It's just the Tea Party redux, they used the fact that we chose clinton to enter into an orgasmic delight of hate and self indulgence.

There is actually no message that can compete with that. Our message was unity, working together, a better future. When fuck mexicans spics and niggers trumps stronger together, nothing you can do. We even got more votes!

Are we willing to join them in deportations, wall buildings and putting women and blacks back in their places? Cause that's what it takes to get them fired up.

Best to get more of our people out in swing states and focus on getting more charismatic candidates who are young enough to not have thirty years of baggage. They dont actually have a target for their hate anymore and are all over the place now. They came together with help from the left to focus on criminalizing and tearing down our candidate. We need to work together better and stop trying to compete with them for their voters. We have enough. We just had them depressed as hell because we could not control the entity known as donald. He is like no other candidate. The media really boosted him. I hope they learn to do their jobs.
