Though when it was announced that Mr. Trump was our President Elect, the majority of North America was devastated.

Here are some reasons Trump won the election; By being in the Republican party, Trump had very isolated, vulnerable, and biased voters. He was very set on that group of people, and it so happened that there were many of those people in this country (bible belt ). Trump spoke very much about immigration, stolen jobs, and terrorism. He said many offensive, racist, sexist and directed things towards very specific groups of people. When he stated that he was going to build a wall, that was towards Mexican people. When he stated that he was going to “Secure our borders” and not let in Syrian refugees, that was towards Muslim people. And when he said “ I will make America great again” he meant he was going to make America white again. In the end, he won the electoral vote and started going into action. He won the votes because he was a white, wealthy, famous, competitive, confident

    For the fifth time in U.S. history, and the second time this century, a presidential candidate has won the White House through the Electoral votes, while apparently losing the popular vote.

    Quemell Brave Professor Campbell CRTW 201 May 1, 2017 Self-Justification: Attack on Syria! In the opening pages of their book Mistakes Were Made authors Tavris and Aronson note that politicians conspicuously engage in the art of self-justification (3). Politicians rarely admit mistakes they have made in the past and instead opt to find ways to justify their actions.

    Donald Trump did not win the popular vote, and there is no proof of voter fraud to this day. Like George W. Bush in the year 2000, Trump won due to the electoral college, the system America uses to select presidents. Thus, the argument cannot be made that Trump beat Hillary Clinton unfairly, supposing we find no evidence of Russian influence. Even if Trump won with 23 percent of the popular vote, the lowest possible number that allows a victory in the electoral college, it still would be fair, although possibly hurting his ego slightly. This is because he won using the system that we agreed upon before votes were cast.…

    Donald Trump was an unexpected runner for this year’s presidential election. At first, many people thought his running for the presidency was a joke. Unfortunately, as time went on, what many thought to be a joke suddenly became more serious as more and more people began to show him support and he shows no sign of dropping out anytime soon. Which is unfortunate since much of what he says is far from being presidential, let alone professional. From what I’ve seen of his speeches and debates, he often makes terrible statements about other candidates as well as other groups of people, building off of peoples hate to rally more support.…

    Suburban Warriors Summary

    Lisa McGirr’s book Suburban Warriors: The origins of the New American Right, published in 2001, examines the history of the conservative grassroots movement in Orange County, California during the 1960s and 1970s. With a “bottom up” lens, McGirr focused on ordinary people behind the grass-roots conservatism rather than the intellectual and political leaders. Historian Richard Hofstadter believed right-wing activists acted purely on their “psychological distress” rather than being motivated by a set of beliefs or “rational politics” (7). In response, McGirr argues that the ordinary people who created conservative grassroots were usually already involved with modernity. Many of them were mobile migrants who welcomed entrepreneurialism and already…

    The slogan that propelled Donald Trump into his influence across the nation, “make America great again,” shows that Trump sees America has fallen downhill and has hopes to improve it. Trump wants to see this country go back to the prosperous country it once was, but he does not know how to filter his words according to most, which makes him seem frightening. Despite Clinton’s accusation about the risk of Donald Trump, his clever use of scare tactics gives voters a sense of security because of his ideas concerning immigration and terrorism. According to Molly Ball, author of “Donald Trump and the Politics of Fear,” Donald Trump uses fear to his advantage in hopes of winning the presidential election.…
