Huh?
I was just saying I called that particular post-Trump win backlash, because that's what happened right after Brexit as well. People were not attacking UKIP members in the masses after Brexit IIRC.
As for this eleciton, I'm pretty sure the news was predicting attacks from voters from the losing side before the election, because it was such an emotional campaign on both sides.
The point is, there are more "liberals" committing crimes against random people, mostly for being white, than there are people spray painting stupid shit in random allies. Why aren't you talking about the stupidity of that, and instead focusing on this, which has always happened and isn't some random thing tied to Trump. Yes, the media is covering it more. That does not mean it is happening more than it did before. This is why only 7% of our 300+ million population trust the media. 7%.

Lol I'm not the media. I have no duty to talk about everything.
I'm just saying I called that. Because after that type of hate mongering campaign, the attacks seemed to be more legitimized in the minds of those attackers.
Again, there was going to be violence post this election by the losing side either way. That was already predicted.
What I'm pointing out is needless attacks from the "winning" side. Because they seem to think that's all legit now.
What you are saying makes no sense.
No, you are not the media; you still just linked examples of a CNN agenda to push a narrative. Why do these attacks matter more than the others. Why is the rest just post election violence, but this was some huge deal that no one saw coming, even though it happens every day? How are random white people "the winning side?" That's just retarded. They don't think Trump winning makes these attacks more justified. They were already committing them.
Anyway we'll see. I agree it's not been that bad yet, and the other side has had it worse so far.
But if it's anything like post-Brexit:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-37945386
"In the UK, the Home Office recorded a 41% jump in racial and religious abuse in the month following the EU referendum in June. The sharp increase declined in August but has "remained at a higher level" than before the Brexit vote, the Home Office said."
"It's far too soon to tell to whether a similar increase will be recorded after the US election, and how large it might be. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation tracks hate crime statistics and releases an annual report, but the one covering this year won't come out until late 2017."
Yeah, I just actually live in America and use this amazing thing called a search engine, which you can easily do yourself.
@Thor: What is "the other side?" More white people voted for Obama than they did for Trump. It wasn't white people that got Trump into the White House. A small, but large enough, percentage of women(the betrayal I know), blacks, latinos, and asians pushed Trump into winning states that have been blue since the 80s. This isn't the same as your migrant crisis. Stop trying to equate it to that. The violence in Britain stems from the feelings that caused Brexit in the first place. They're tired of one segment of the population being judged under a different standard than everyone else. America's election was about corruption in our government. It's not even remotely similar.

Right and so when they get the vote they wanted it makes sense for that violence to increase right?

So there was no Fear mongering going on on the Trump side of the election?

Violence has increased all around, so no. It makes total sense. When you cut on your television to see which terrorist attack happened this week, and what narrative people are going to push, people get angry.
Uh, no. We don't think Mexicans are going to take over our country. Fear mongering came from Clinton's side who just randomly slapped labels onto Trump for literally no reason and saying things like he'll start World War III, even though that's something Clinton flat out stated she would do. I know, it's just terrible that Trump wants us to follow our laws and everything, our super racist laws that say you can illegally cross the border, but fear had nothing to do with it. Trump's campaign ran on how Obama, and by association Clinton, promised much and delivered little. This is why he personally went around the United States while Clinton had others do it for her. This, and WikiLeaks, ensured Clinton would never win this election. Because her campaign was so brazen with its corruption they weren't even hiding it anymore. They were caught on camera talking about how they pay mentally disabled people to assault rallies and attempt assassinations. The fact that she got any votes at all is legitimately frightening to me.
But obviously, I'm just too rational a person to see she has a vagina, and is therefore qualified to control the largest military in the world when she talks about rigging elections and shooting down Russian jets.

EDIT: Since this'll probably be buried by the time I get to it, feel free to PM the list to me.
You can start with these, yeah.

Just rewatched TPM. It was honestly really damn good. 8/10.
My only complaint is why the Trade Federation removed the blockade and instead opted for just one ship to guard the planet after the invasion happened. If they kept the blockade, the heroes would have been destroyed before they could ever return to Naboo.
