If you'd written "boing!" that would have been funny...and surprising. So you could have had two firsts for you in one go.In other words....boring.

Cool, you consider it humility to just be myself?
Perhaps you should try it.
You might be liked for who God created you to be, instead of....well....you know.
Oh Townie, if you impressed yourself any more, you'd blow up like a balloon and float right off this planet. :rotfl:
TH was so threatened by my comments that he had me locked out of his Cervantes thread. Oh the irony.Someday TH will see himself for what he never was and seek to accept himself for what he isn't.
No, you got you locked out for trolling. I've seen toddlers that are scarier...and more interesting to talk to.TH was so threatened by my comments that he had me locked out of his Cervantes thread. Oh the irony.![]()

If you could be this funny when you meant to be I'd spend most of my time here reading you.I fear that TH will someday pat himself on the back so many times that, he'll develop a blood clot in his shoulder area.
At what point did you go from making an attempt to be funny to just making things up and sounding bitter?Yeah, he frightens easily. It's a Liberal thing.

Because it's that hard to tell.lain:
Neither candidate was beloved, but she had a few million more votes of confidence, which were negated by an operation of land and imaginary line.
Neither does this claim. Trumps support was less diverse as a demographic than Clinton's.
He captured about what Romney did in his failed bid.
America is much more than aging white people, CS. And that's the largest part of Trump's demo.
According to Pew it was:
Trump 58% to Clinton's 38% of whites
Trump 12% to Clinton's 88% of blacks
Trump 42% to Clinton's 54% of women
Trump 53% to Clinton's 41% of men
Trump 43% to Clinton's 52% of college graduates
Trump 52% to Clinton's 44% of those without a college education
Trump 37% to Clinton's 55% of voters between the ages of 18-29
Trump 53% to Clinton's 45% of voters 65 and older
In the sense that older, under educated white men are all across the country. Otherwise, not so much.
Given the focus on immigrants and illegal aliens and the sort of rhetoric focused there I suppose it's to be expected, sadly.Agreed, but I'd go farther. Here's an interesting analysis:
Racism motivated Trump voters more than authoritarianism

This week's lecture was on Right Wing Authoritarianism. You know where I'm going with this...
People who score high in RWA characteristics manifest a high degree of submission to authorities they perceive to be legitimate in the society they identify with, and a higher propensity to show aggressiveness towards those who they perceive violate those social norms (and they see their aggressiveness as sanctioned by the authorities to which they submit).
They show a high degree of adherence to social norms (you go outside the box of what they see as "normal," and you're going to be aggressed).
They're fearful - they see the world as a dangerous place, requiring strong action to stamp out what they see as a threat.
They're self-righteous - they feel justified in looking down on anyone their authority figures perceive as less moral than themselves.
They require structure. They tend to be inflexible.
They tend to frame their worldview in terms of ingroups and outgroups, and perceive that outgroups threaten the traditions and values held by their ingroup - which attitude, as you might expect, correlates positively with higher rates of prejudice.
That's a really brief thumbnail sketch from some of my notes, but I see this played out here every day.
One of the LIBS favorite "weapons of choice" is to play the racist, xenophobe, fascist, etc. cards. They use them like "Flash Cards."
