Like many of us—not just in the US but across the world—I’ve recently been trying to digest the reality and implications of Donald Trump’s presidential election victory. One of the things I’ve been trying to figure out is why so many Americans voted for him, and while researching this, I came across this article. As it shows, the amazing parallels with the rise of Nazi Germany are no exaggeration (this video is even more frightening). I was particularly struck by the photo above, not just because of the Nazi salutes, but because of the instantly recognisable girl on the right of the pic.
Here, at an openly white supremacist party, was an Asian girl—not just present, but openly supporting it and tweeting herself doing the Nazi salute. Now in a previous article, we have universally proclaimed Tila (Tequila) Nguyen to be easily the most f***ed-up Asian siren ever, so it is easy to dismiss this as just one f***ing crazy Vietnamese girl. The only problem is, it isn’t.
I used to follow Angie Vu Ha on Facebook, but I was completely turned off by her gloating about the 2014 GOP congressional victories from her private jet, so I can only assume she supports Trump. And much to my chagrin, I recently found out from Bai Ling‘s Instagram page that she’s a fan of Trump too. The there’s the ultra popular Lebanese porn star Mia Khalifa’s bizarre promise to give all Trump voters a blow job! Plus of course, there’s the well-known anti-immigrant commentator and author of In Defense of Internment: The Case for ‘Racial Profiling’ in World War II and the War on Terror, Michelle Malkin—who is the daughter of Filipino immigrants.
And it isn’t just the open racism of Trump’s campaign; it’s the open sexism as well.
One more thing (although strictly speaking off-topic, but related)—there was a stat from this election that completely blew my mind: 30% of Latinos voted for Trump!
Can any of our readers help me to shed light on the obvious question here: WTF?
-
WTF? What is the question? Why people voted for Trump? Perhaps because he was seen by millions as an alternative to obscene, militant graft and incompetence.
-
Perhaps because not everyone (notably non-whites) believes he is “an openly racist, white supremacist?”
Notably, I didn’t hear this kind of hate when Hussein refused to throw Rev. Wright under the bus. And, after he denounced Farrakhan once he wasn’t asked again.
I don’t approve of Nazi salutes, but: Do you know where terms like change agent, progressive, self-criticism, diversity, etc. originated (in a political context)? From various Marxist expressions; the subtle is often more insidious than the overt.
Different rules, it seems.
-
A predictable liberal response; disagreement = end of dialogue. I have a Ph.D., 3 MAs and a BA. I saw NOTHING racist in his campaign and those who did smeared him that way. THIS is how libs argue: ignore issues and attack the person. Enforcing immigration law is racist? Enforcing narcotics laws is racist? Making comments about women is sexist? By using words like sexist, racist, homophobe we effectively stop communicating which, I suppose, is exactly what you’re doing. The next time you ask a question perhaps you should be prepared to get an answer, no matter how disagreeable that answer may be. Suggestion: lets stick to women and ignore politics. You obviously have drunk entirely too much Kool-Aid (now, after telling me I am effectively stupid, be sure to upbraid me for my lack of civility).
-
Not American but I bet $100 back in May 2016 that DT would win – I dont see him as a racist remember he has promoted in his organisation people of non white backgrounds. The USA has a black President and yet more have become dependent on welfare since he has been President, America has turn into a country where there is sex warfare, race warfare etc with the bulk of this happening under Obama .
-
Spooler, I agree BUT let’s note which people are concerned about DT’s “racism.” Largely, left-wing, occupy, tree-hugging butt bandits and their minions like the MSM. As Hussein said, “Elections have consequences;” it seems the critics should fold their tents and go home until they have an actual complaint.
-
Dr. Lee, you may want to proof your contributions before posting them. Is there any possibility that others may not agree to your “terms of discussion?” And when they do not you say they are lying or ignorant. Your initial post was overtly political with only peripheral relevance to Asian women; you should therefore expect overtly political replies (which you have received). I suspect few DT supporters liked him but saw him as preferable to a crook. You asked your rhetorical question and received a direct reply – which you dismissed without addressing the points made therein. Surely someone who calls himself a doctor would have a better understanding of argumentation and debate.
-
I just read an article where Clinton is ahead in the popular vote by over 2 million votes. So your vote really doesn’t count. As a side note the electoral college is under no obligation to vote the way the state went and this is in place to keep people like Trump out of the White House.

FINALLY you get to your point; thank you. In your extensive research, how many Asian women voted for DT? Or are you using exclusively anecdotal evidence like an out-of-context pic of three drunkards – including exactly one Asian women – giving a Nazi salute? Oh – and please within the terms of YOUR post – define Asian women. Middle eastern? Far eastern? What % Asian? And, built in to your question is the assumption that Asian heritage (whatever that means) should be or was the primary variable. Again – a self-described doctor should have a better understanding of research principles, argumentation and debate, and expressive writing. Unless of course, you are simply using this site as a vehicle to express your failed socio-political views in the hope that you can collect acolytes to improve your self-esteem after being crushed electorally. And BTW – (directed toward Duane) – how can you say HRC won by 2 million votes and yet insist votes don’t count? The electoral college exists for a reason; re-read The Federalist Papers. And just to be clear: DT sucks but not as much as HRC or Bernie.
-
Hey, Duane: Exactly who has gotten the short end of any stick? I was under the impression the inauguration is in January.
-
Dr. Lee: While you may define the topic of discussion you may not define its terms. That, presumably, is why you posted publicly.
-
Trump just settled the Trump University case. You know where his school pretended to teach people how to get rich like him but really learned nothing. He settled without admission of guilt as usual but nobody thought he had a chance to win. He regularly refuses to pay smaller suppliers or short pays them and uses legal expenses to keep them at bay. I’m confused, who’s a crook? Pretty easy to find his history of settled lawsuits, That’s not the picture of an upstanding citizen.
You can say all the bad things you want about Hillary but don’t try to tell me this POS smells like a rose.
And Geoff, “change agent” is a common business term. And what is wrong with “diversity” and how do you associate it with Marxist expressions? Do tell. -
Duly noted, and fitting nicely under my “acolyte” description. I assure you I did read your post and objected to the OT nature of it. You did not make it less political by using an obtuse reference to Asian women; if that qualified it for the board we’d see more recipes for pho and bhun. You were, and continue to, make a bankrupt political point Finally, please note that in this exchange I have made 32 points and you have responded to none. Your choice of course – but its a great way to lose any debate.
-
Ah! Finally! Ban me! Nothing would do a better job of illustrating how bereft of tolerance and intelligence you are. Very Stalinist. And, while you can define whatever you like, you shouldn’t expect others to comply. That’s one of the reasons we have a Bill of Rights. Don’t worry – no one expects you to issue any substantive reply; the best you can do is to take your ball (list) and go home.
-
And there has been a commensurate spike in anti-Trump violence as well. So your point would be …?
-
Kinchina: Yes, change agent is a common business term. But how did it enter our lexicon? Probably from Mao, in his exchanges with Edgar Snow who was then writing The Long Revolution. Diversity in a political context probably originated with Stalin’s essay “The Problem of Nationalities.” Thanks for asking. Finally, I despise DT as much as anyone; I just despise HRC and her mindless drones more.
-
Dr. Lee: I am reasonably sure some of Trump’s supporters are racist. So what? None of HRC’s were? Or Hussein’s? Please note that being a racist does not necessarily mean someone getting the short end of any stick and especially before the inauguration.
-
Dr. Lee: When will you share with us your research results? Looking forward to it (just a little snarky).
-
Illogical. If I spray paint an anti-Trump diatribe on my neighbor’s wall and say it is in your name does that make you culpable? Please cite your facts r/t DT’s inciting racist violence (names, dates, location, context, quotes). Your lack of responsiveness to my points continues to be noted.
-
Are you looking for peer review?
-
Geoff,
While “change agent” and “diversity” may have the origins you believe (doubt) are they bad words or ideas because of their origins? Stalin was no supporter of diversity, he wanted all the USSR “Russianized”. Mao was not the worlds first “change agent” by definition either. -
Checked your links and saw NOTHING by way of research, just leftie diatribes. A URL for your “extensive research,” please? Also, what of it has been peer reviewed (surely you wouldn’t post research without peer reviews, right?
-
Kinchina: My point had nothing to do with “good” or “bad” words. Rather, it was to increase awareness that using such terms connotes either familiarity with their origins or ignorance of their origins.
-
And if I beat a black man while yelling “Lee!” will that render you culpable?
-
Kinchina: You are somewhat correct but … I did not suggest Mao was the world’s first change agent, merely he was the first to use the term in a political context. And Stalin, surprisingly, had much more sympathy for nationalities than you might think – especially Georgians. But that wasn’t the point either – rather, it was that he was probably the first to use it in a political context. Therefore,when lefties use these terms they are invoking Mao and Stalin, whether they realize it (unlikely) or not.
-
Dr. Lee: I again implore you to detail your insistence that DT incited racial violence: names, places, dates, contexts. Or will you simply continue to chant the leftie mantra?
-
I understand. You base your position (and “research”:-) on what you see on the news. Gotcha. You see this dribble and when it is disputed you insist your opponent is factually incorrect. Tautological, but I get it. I just hope your “research” is more intellectually cogent.
-
Dr. Lee: As you may know or care, I am Canadian but follow things American, especially football, politics, and media. While it is not my intent to get unduly personal, my guess is you’re Australian. It seems no people are as blindly jealous of the Yanks as Aussies. I’m not sure why that is, but it seems like something analogous to penis envy. Perhaps because the Yanks hauled your asses out of the fire (USMC) in 1942 and you’ve resented it since? Apologies if too personal – just an observation. Yet, if this is true, it would go a long way toward explaining your seemingly blind hatred/ignorance of American electoral politics – so much you rely on media for “truth.”
-
You see. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Politics is the agent of division in this world. Beautiful Asian ladies are the opposite, they bring us together. FAR be it from me to criticise our hallowed pages here but I think we should keep politics out of it. More beauty. Less politics
-
hahahaha
just by reading the first lines of the post, i *knew* this would bring a heated discussion.
doc lee, keep in mind that many of the guys in the usa who read and comment these posts, are quite fond of trump – the guy got most votes right, and much more from men than women as you pointed – despite them being fond of “grabbing asian pussy” (reference to trump’s speech here), and they are staying quiet just because they don’t want to get into political debates, but they did vote for trump when they had the choice.
the problem of that election is that it screws up many worldwide topics like climate change. keeping this in mind, perhaps some non american commando should attempt to destroy trump and his vp before january 20th. otherwise the whole world will suffer from that presidency, no doubt about it. -
Just when i thought this site was a refuge from the election nonsense and nastiness…
Let’s get back to Tila. The fact that she was considered an “Asian Siren” by some, an esteemed title only bestowed upon the best of the best of hottie Asian women, is what sickens me the most.
-
Tila is a moron. She was a hottie that turned into a washed up two bit ho bag that is openly a Neo nazi. Not sure how you can be a Asian nazi but… Maybe you just have to hate everyone other than whites and you’re in. As far future president trumpet, I think he’s going to disappoint his voters in a big way. As far as the overt racism in his name he needs to condemn it until it stops. Obama also dropped the ball when it comes to blm. We’ve had cops being killed on a daily basis this week. As a black man he should be condemning this overt prejudice towards law enforcement but he doesn’t. These overt acts of hatred by a small minority can be pushed back to the fringes by just speaking out against it, but LOUDLY. I’m waiting Obama and trump. Also doc, it’s easy for non minorities to dismiss the overt racism in his campaign because they don’t know how it feels to know that the tides can turn quickly and all of a sudden you find yourself in an interment camp, a concentration camp, or hanging from a tree. We’re not going in the right direction.
-
Right or wrong and above all else, to paraphrase James Carville, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
-
Notice how the Trump supporters deflect and conflate every chance they get? Most of them don’t want to admit they are white supremacists. But here’s the thing – more people voted AGAINST con man Trump than for him and MOST Americans do NOT appreciate Nazi salutes or more importantly the Nazis giving the salute. And for all you Nazis who support Trump well here’s something to think about. Do your research. It didn’t end well for your hero Adolph Hitler and it won’t end well for con man Trump.
-
Easy explanation: she’s nuts.
-
This (arguably misplaced) thread quickly went off the rails. The question: “why the hell would non-whites not only vote for but strongly support an openly racist, white supremacist candidate?”
My (white, voted for Trump) response: I don’t believe Trump is openly racist or a white supremacist. He has already appointed one woman of Indian descent to his cabinet, and is reportedly going to appoint an African American man to another. These do not sound like the acts of a white supremacist.
Sure, he wants to secure our borders, but who in their right mind wants to have wide open immigration policies? He simply wants to enforce policies already on the books, and prevent another terrorist attack on US soil. Australians should be able to relate to this, given Australia’s high barriers to immigration.
So if we assume the “facts” in your question are hyperbole, then the question becomes simplified to “why would non-whites vote for [a particular candidate]“. This question is best answered by a non-white Trump voter. Any of those on AS who care to comment?
-
Hispanic Trump supporter here with an Asian wife.
He said nothing racist. He’s against illegal not legal immigration. I live in LA and illegal immigrants are overwhelming the system here.
-
Exactly why a lot of us voted for Trump, 1. anger over the corrupt politicians that set the rules, break the rules themselves and get wealthy on the backs of all Americans. All while we continue to work harder and they take more of our hard earned money away. On the right and left…
2. You want to claim all of these things about Trump and while some are deserved, at least he plays within the rules of what our Politicians set up, so like it or not, if he was doing anything illegal, he would be in jail. Unlike Hillary that violates every rule in the book and gets a pass.
3. another reason we voted for Trump, is when liberals call everyone that voted for Trump or when liberals call Repubs racist, homophobe, xenophobe, etc. Those chap my ass more than anything because I am none of those things.
4. final reason we voted for Trump, was watching President Obama and continuously throughout his time in office and leading up to it, divide this country in every way possible. By race, by class, by party….and promoted his hate speach whereever possible. You dont think that ignited people on the left to hate and overreact. Hillary did the same. He in essence from the start and continues to talk about how Repubs want to not help the poor or elderly, or we dont want to help minorities or we are against gays in every way possible, etc, etc I am socially in the middle but my fiscal views are strongly conservative. You cant spend your way into fixing the country. Take our money, let the govt waste it, give it away to some that do need it but a lot that dont and then when we object, tell the world that we dont care.
-
i wish there was this much dialogue when i talk about the conflict i have of me being a father to an Asian daughter and my enjoyment of looking atother Asian booty. Knowing that their fathers would not like them doing so.
-
Honestly, many Asians, especially Asian women, are White supremacists, in a way. This benefits many White men here for obvious reasons, but is not so beneficial to Black men, much to many of our lamentations.
On the other hand, not all non-Whites that voted for Trump did it to get in bed, literally or figuratively with Whites. As a Black man, illegal immigration has a direct negative effect on me, as does excessive modern political correctness since I am a proudly straight man that likes slim Northeast Asian women (of course, White supremacy and anti-Blackism are to my detriments there).
It’s lose-lose for those without power, and that is how it always has been and always will be.
-
Trump and Hillary neither one were a good choice for this country. Personally I feel the lesser of the two evils has won.
Trump himself has gone on the news and asked for these anti-Trump, Hillary supporting cry babies to stop rioting. Hillary and Obama have not said a single thing about it. When Obama won, and their were plenty of people upset both times he won, he was never accused of inciting riots against him. There were a few, so few in fact nearly all of us have forgotten. But either way it shows that those of us against the current administration have more class and civility then the anti-Trump protestors. Excuse me that would be “radical-protestor’s” that are borderline terrorists. After all if you publicly disrupt the flow a highway or threaten people that did vote for Trump you should be labeled a “terrorist”.
Don’t block the road I’m driving on. I will not stop, I have already seen what a crowd does to stopped vehicles. People die in ambulances, women in birth cannot get treatment, whites get pulled from their vehicle and get beaten. Nope I will not stop.
In short we need to stop this anti-Trump crap and hope he can do a good job. Congress and the Supreme court will keep him in check. Also as long as he puts the right people in his cabinet they will also keep him in check.
And being a dominantly male website who would you rather stare at? Beautiful Melania as first lady or slick Willie as first man?
-
I normally stay out of these discussions because, well, this is your forum, your soapbox, and as such it is your choice to allow or ban the opinions of others if they simply don’t agree with you; However, A question was posed, and I’m happy to provide, in my opinion, an answer. (whether you agree, or reveal it to others is of course, your choice) WTF? Since there is no other question in the posting, I have to assume you are questioning the entire content of posting. SO: The rise of NAZI power had an important date shared in November by Krystal Nacht, and the Beer Hall Pustch. I find it ironic that the protests AFTER the election found windows being broken by various agents and orgs of the LEFT, on the anniversary of those other NAZI events. NPI may, or may not be a “white supremacist, Alt-right, neo-Nazi” organization, it depends substantially on how anyone wants to define it. Whatever the case, Trump NEVER endorsed THEM. BTW, National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP – Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei), is much closer to the Progressive Democrat line than it is to a Representative Constitutional Republic. Speaking of Republic, which the Constitution demands all forms of government in the United States MUST be constructed as, the Electoral College is a Republican form of government, as is required; A straight “democracy” is forbidden. This is why 51% of votes cast for candidate X does not always win the election. The Ancient Greeks defined democracy as mob rule. I don’t know Angie Vu Ha, so I can’t speak for her. Bai Ling, if she is an American citizen has the right to vote for, or support whomever she wishes to. It doesn’t change if she is an Asian Siren. I’m not sure Mia Khalifa’s BJ promise carries any more weight than Madonna’s, but I’m willing to let them BOTH of them attempt to change my mind, even today. Michelle Malkin is quite the smart lady, and her books are always well supported with references, and reading them is quite enlightening. I understand how she could be disliked here though because she won’t take her clothes off for pictures. I didn’t see any racism in Trumps ideas, or speeches; Although, I have seen plenty from Hillary. Criticism of racism, and sexism on a website devoted to -ASIAN- Sirens being worshiped in various states of undress, for reasons of ogling, and commenting on their every minor physical attribute: NOW THAT IS RICH! And the one more thing,,,Perhaps, 30% of those Latinos who voted for Trump, have no fear of deportation. I wonder if the 70% who didn’t vote for him were able to legally vote in the first place.
-
Dr lee,
Looking outside inward I can see how ur views can be skewed on the presidential race and how DT won. Being in and living in the US you would see why he won. People are tired of the same old BS the dem party has been pushing for years and with no positive change here in the US. People want change, want to feel a leader can come in and actually do something for the people. I’m neither dem or Repub but felt DT was better for the job knowing he comes in with less political baggage than HC. For me, illegal immigration is a huge issue. We have enough homeless vets, mentally damaged people and our own poor to take care of here before we give handouts to illegals coming in from wherever they come from in the world. I think we have enough to fix at home and should focus on that. Also just recently let’s look at how Australia pushed over all their illegals on the US when they alone wouldn’t have them in their own country. There are many countries in the world with much more strict immigration laws than ours but the expectation is for the US to take everyone in. Yes, we were a country built on immigrants, but that was a different time and world as I see it. Things change, times change, and at some point issues at home should be addressed and fixed before going out and supporting other countries and issues. Just my 2 pennies.
-
Dr lee,
Also, I wouldn’t of banned anyone when it comes to political questions and comments. Even more so knowing neither of you are US based and have no actual stake in US politics, the words written by each of you are just words and should be left as that. To ban someone is harsh and personal or not, was not called for. You kinda gotta take the good with the bad when you post this type of statement/question online. Rules or not, wrong way to handle things.
-
Yeah, ‘proven’ fake by known partisan fake news sites. One good thing to come out of this is that Google and Facebook are finally starting to crack down on fake news.
Apologies to the slow approvals for new posters—I only just got up. ” alt=”:)”>
Like CNN (Clinton News Network)? In Europe we call them Lügenpresse, in in US we call them press-titutes.
-
92 comments, are you kidding me?!
anyway this is the day where doc lee realized all the former american servicemen who are into crass looking asian women are actually not as open minded as he thought… if trump got elected there must be a reason, and the mentality in the red states is different enough so we non americans completely fail to understand their logic and motivation. a bit like how there are still russians who support putin, or there are chinese who love the ccp.
just from the tone and expressions they use in their comments, it was always clear to me many of the american commenters here are current or former army servicemen who are not particularly the most liberal to say the least. they however are fine with “grabbing asian pussy” (reference to trump quotes) but certainly wouldnt want to see mrs clinton holding office.
this blog should have remained apolitical. now something is inevitably broken forever between two categories of people -
Dr lee,
In a situation and conversation of this nature, it was expected to happen. I do appreciate the site and the hard work you put into it but banning someone was not needed. It’s a sensitive topic that was posted and that was that. Be the bigger man and let it slide. He made valid points and was an active participant in this convo, so no need to ban anyone. I appreciated reading all of the posts from all and I felt obligated to sign up and chime in. I respected Geoff for taking the time on this issue. Hope you can understand that convos can get heated and chippy about politics. Again, great work on the site and I hope you see that this post got you a new member to sign in and participate. It’s a win win as I see it.

this is actually the thing here – how can people even imagine that trump would be doing ANYTHING for the people?! the guy has always been a tough businessman, always making ethically questionable decisions, and everything he has done has always been about himself. just because he was a massive troll during the campaign doesnt mean he cares about anyone. he’s already started to admit he wont fulfill many (if not most) of his campaign promises…
dear americans, you’ve been trumped!
-
Gunnar,
Politics is a crapshoot. I personally voted for neither candidate but have an opinion that DT has more chance of moving this country in a better direction that HC would of had.. hope is a beautiful thing…. HC I feel would of followed on the same crappy path as BO. My opinion. I would rather give the unknown a shot at it that someone I felt would of followed the same horrible policies. Give the guy a shot, support the prez for his term, if he makes it, and go from there. To me it would of been a hard call if Sanders and Kasich were running at the time. The dem party killed any possible win by shafting Sanders…
-
In the political world he’s an unknown for the most part. Like I said, touchy issue for all since we all have a personal opinion on this subject. I do enjoy reading all opinions and looking at views from all angles. Nothing personal. As for not paying taxes, well that’s our own damn fault for having those laws and rules in place for the wealthy to take advantage of. Nothing new, I’m sure all use these same loopholes for business and personal benefit. Now is that shame on him or shame on us for having that option avail to use? Not like this a new thing that was just created, those have been there for years and never addressed by dems or repubs.
-
Let’s be honest here, how many promises and this and that have been said on both sides for every election and never happened or never been passed??? Let’s judge the guy when things start to happen when he’s in office. I can say the market has been going great since he was announced the winner. Long term who knows, but you gotta learn to ride the highs and lows of these things.
-
Has hit tax plan been implemented??? No. so not fact.
Loopholes or not, will he fix, who knows? Did he create them? No. were they used by him? Yes, but also used by many other people as well. He’s just a face of those loopholes now he’s going to be in office.
Guessing at what is going to happen is a huge mistake. As stated earlier, we all need to wait and see what comes out of this once in office. Running around like the building is on fire is the wrong way to react. He was elected and will be our president and that is a fact. Either way at the end of the day, we all wake up, have bills to pay, a job and family to take care of. That hasn’t changed and should be the focus of all people. Let’s see what he does and go from there. Hell, he may get impeached, who the hell knows.
My thoughts are feelings are summed best by the video below. I think all could watch this and agree with what he says.
-
Just because they are using Trumps name in these protests does not mean he is behind them.
When everyone was saying that Obama was not born an American Citizen nobody said it was Obama instigating that. It was always someone else.
It is typical of “certain” beliefs, like “conspiracy theorists” that when things do not go the way they want them they have to invent reasons to explain why something happened or did not happen.
Trump won fair and square by the laws that have been in effect for over 200 years. Like it or not he is here for the next 4 years unless someone kills him or he is impeached by congress. No petition in the world will take him out of office.
Again neither one of them is right for this country.
-
And this site is full of “Asian and Male Supremacists” and and hypocrites.
After all why is this site here? Because a lot of us that run and visit this site feel that the asian form is “superior” to all other forms. Then the pictures here are all of females denoting the “superiority” of the male over the female of the species.
I only bring this up because people often look at what everyone else is doing wrong and cannot see their own faults.
Now do not get me wrong, I enjoy this site very much and I do thank Dr. Lee and everyone else involved in the making of this site. If that puts me in the above mentioned categories I mentioned, so be it.
Again thank you the great site. May also want to take your own advice as has been mentioned in other post’s. We come here to see naked asian women not a political tirade against a messed up asian with a Hitler salute. Anyone here that has not made the Hitler salute in the past among friends jokingly in the past and are complaining about her, shame on you.
I have also seen post’s where you have informed and deleted post’s that were to negative against the current posted girl. I applaud you for that. But posting a “politically” charged post such as this knowing full well that people on both sides are so far apart on these two candidates was just asking for trouble.
Take care and enjoy your day.

I’ve been visiting this site for over 10 years, essentially maturing from a reckless teen into a settled-down family man, and have never felt so compelled to respond to a post.
The issue of political support all comes down to perspective – the visitors’ that frequent this gem of a site, and those of Asian women mentioned in the OP included.
Personally, my perspective is that of a white Canadian male with distant German heritage, married to a first-generation Canadian with Chinese heritage. I lack a masters’ degree or a PHd but consider myself to be educated enough to evaluate what goes on around me critically. My opinion on the Trump vs Clinton debate has been informed by the major media outlets broadcasting out of the US and Canada, and tempered through the online opinions ranging from highly-referenced and articulate to incoherent rantings and ravings. I consider myself to be an outsider to the presidential election with a slight side-interest in how the results could impact my local economy.
To me Trump’s actions and words (in the small sample-size the media has presented to me) paint the picture of a man who only prioritizes his self-interests. He seems to say whatever he feels will have the greatest positive impact on his future standing. His use of scapegoating minorities was done to this end – appealing to the ethnocentric thoughts we all subconsciously have. Likewise his “racist” remarks (making it look as though he “tells things like they are”) and seemingly sexist remarks about women (perhaps inflating his own sense of masculinity). He consistently says and does things that allow him to inflate his ego in that moment, or set himself up to do so in the future.
He presented the picture of a man that represents a change in the political sphere. That’s all I see it as though – a picture. He knew that’s what people were craving for and he gave them that option. He won the election and now his ego has another reason to inflate further.
Personally I believe he is a racist and a misogynist, but only as a result of being an egotist. I don’t believe he will incite any major political reform that discriminates against race or gender. I only believe that he will act according to what is best for his own ego. If he wants to go down in history as the most surprisingly effective leader the developed world has seen he’ll act one way. If he wants to increase his family’s net worth and asset holdings then he’ll act another. But, based on how I’ve seen him act, I’m scared his financial and environmental decisions are going to lean towards the “What’s best for Donald” thought process. Those who share a lot in common with him will benefit accordingly. Those with less in common will suffer as a result.
Individuals, Asian women included, who could identify with his campaign promises and discriminatory remarks, even if they were the minority targeted by some of those, had the perspective that they stand to benefit from his election more than they stand to lose.
I believe Hillary would have been more of the same that so many have become disenfranchised with.
Hillary represented more well-intentioned mistakes. While Donald represented more “Me first” policy. Neither was a good option.
I suspect the reason people voted for Trump is a combination of a desire for change, and a “what’s best for me” mentality. People who thought building a wall and mass deportation would benefit themselves saw Trump as representing their best interests. But anybody with the attention span to read this far into a political-themed conversation thread must have a strong understanding that nothing said during a campaign can ever be 100% believed.
Based on campaign remarks and Donald’s interviews in the weeks that followed, the only thing that I believe with certainty is that Donald is going to put Donald first. So America is left with the question, “Is what’s best for Trump also best for America?”
I could also be off by a long-shot though. And, frankly, I’d be happy if he proved me wrong with 4 years of altruistic and self-sacrificing decision-making.
Thanks for your patience reading my opinion everyone.

Once again, America stands only within sight of the precipice that every country on the Earth, and all thru history has fallen over, and many are today standing at the edge of. There is a reason why America has never stood on that cliff, or fallen over it, or even stood within rock-throwing distance of it.
We The People. That may seem a simple and even stupid comment, but it is more important than any King, or clan.
Nothing mankind has ever created is even close to the TRUTH that all men are created equal with certain inalienable RIGHTS, and it has never, ever been put into words by any other “government”, or guaranteed in writing, in the entire history of mankind anywhere else other than in the Constitution of the United States of America. Never. This is still the TRUTH today.
The RIGHTS of Americans are inviolate. PERIOD. Given by God, Guaranteed by the Constitution. Supported by the US military. No where else in the world do any citizens have the rights that Americans do. NOWHERE.
America has always projected these RIGHTS whenever it has been called upon to help, or destroy.
In the Constitution, even before the rights of individual Americans is the mandate to have their own government elected by REPRESENTATION – Not “democracy”.
Anyone who thinks America is “evil” doesn’t know the history of mankind.
The election of Trump versus Hillary is just We the People, telling the rest of the world, and all their failing government experiments that America got it right, and WE are telling you ALL that you are WRONG.
Can we get back to naked Asian Sirens now? (By the way, Asian is a description of a continent, not a description of the physical features of people. It would be more accurate to call the “Sirens” “Oriental” — Oh My God! your entire site is racist!) -
Please don’t tell anyone I commented on this Asian Supremacist sight. I could never run for President if anyone found out.

The Constitution is right. Politics today are wrong.
I will bet a gold penny that within 2 years of the Trump Presidency:
ISIS is obliterated in the Middle East, but not everywhere else.
Terrorists will bomb the world over, killing hundreds of thousands, in the name of “allah”.
Venezuela will have a civil war, not about race, but politics. America, won’t have to do a thing to get that oil. We want it, they have it. They will drop out of OPEC. America helps them write a new We The People Constitution. Communism killed in another country.
Castros’ Cuba will fall. 15,000,000 people will find FREEDOM, for the first time in their lives.
England will not be permitted to leave the EU.
France will revolt against their Socialist GOV (LaPen wins)
Italy will kick out the Socialist GOV (this vote is next in line)
Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Italy, France, Denmark, and Greece will leave the EU.
Russia will support Turkey in taking over the island of Cypress, until Trump gives them the Baltic states, which belong to them anyway.
Cypress belongs to Cyprians, or Greece, Turkey needs to get the hell out. This could be ground zero for WW3 if the Iranians don’t nuke Israel.
The USA will remove all nukes from Turkey, and other places in Europe.
Syria, after Trump, and the US military supports freedom will take all their rejected citizens back. (yeah, I’m kidding here)
Oil prices will fall to $10/barrel
The US will go back on the gold standard, and the $US will go through the roof, as other monies collapse. (please do this Trump)
Oh, the wall. Yep, mexico pays for it. -
I don’t think it is too much to ask that every person employed in America pay taxes to the FED, speak English, and be registered for the draft. Why is it too much that Americans require VOTERS to read English on the ballot? If they can’t read English, how can they vote? I don’t ever want to see another multi-language ballot. How is that even possible?

Arf,
Exactly right!
Dr Lee,
Yes you can comment all you want but just as the protestors protest here, there’s not much anyone can do about it. Personally I think people should focus all that extra time and energy into something that would be considered productive.

Dr lee,
I see ur doing the same thing to these posts as the media did with trump. Please at some point, answer some of the facts/questions people are posting here for you to answer!!! I’m baffled why ur so hard up on trump and ur not a US citizen!!!! Chill pill already!!! And as u stated saying that the US is in everyone’s business, then ask yourself this, why does the country you live in allow that to happen? Is it partially ur fault for voting in whoever is running Ur country??? Think about that for a bit. Weird how whoever you elect has no influence here in the US but who gets elected here seems to be eating you alive. Maybe you all have some issues you need to work out at home with the elected officials you all selected. Like some people say, don’t go poking your nose into other people’s business. Mind ur own.
