"We The People Are Pissed": New Poll Finds Whites And Republicans Are Angriest Americans

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If Donald Trump’s poll numbers tell us anything, it’s that Americans are angry.

Angry with what they perceive to be government ineptitude, angry with the economy, angry with US foreign policy, angry with just about everything.

The palpable sense of rage has manifested itself in support for dark horse presidential candidates like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders and is also apparent in “incidents” like that which occurred on Saturday when armed militiamen seized a remote government building in Oregon.

Just how mad are Americans? Very, according to a new poll conducted by Esquire, SurveyMonkey, and NBC News. Here’s the preface from Esquire:

WE THE PEOPLE ARE PISSED. THE BODY POLITIC IS BURNING UP. AND THE ANGER THAT COURSES THROUGH OUR HEADLINES AND NEWS FEEDS—ABOUT INJUSTICE AND INEQUALITY, ABOUT MARGINALIZATION AND DISENFRANCHISEMENT, ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO US—SHOWS NO SIGN OF ABATING. ESQUIRE TEAMED UP WITH NBC NEWS TO SURVEY 3,000 AMERICANS ABOUT WHO'S ANGRIEST, WHAT'S MAKING THEM ANGRY, AND WHO'S TO BLAME.

 


LET'S BEGIN WITH THE BIG REVEALS: Half of all Americans are angrier today than they were a year ago. White Americans are the angriest of all. And black Americans are more optimistic about the future of the country and the existence of the American dream. There are depths and dimensions, dark corners and subtle contours to our national mood, and setting aside the issue of who actually has a right to be angry and about what—these pages are neutral territory; everyone is allowed their beef—we found three main factors shaping American rage: expectations, empathy, and experience.

Below, find some of the highlights which include the fact that when it comes to being "pissed", no one is angrier than white people and Republicans. "Overall, 49 percent of Americans said they find themselves feeling angrier now about current events than they were one year ago," NBC writes. "Whites are the angriest, with 54 percent saying they have grown more outraged over the past year [while] sixty-one percent of Republicans say current events irk them more today than a year ago, compared to 42 percent of Democrats."

They should be but are not.

Jobs have gone to illegal Hispanics, Haitians, Middle Easterners with H1B visas. Problem for them is that listen to Jackson, Sharpton and Farakan.

For them whites are still the problem Most do not want to see reality. The Census Bureau projects that within 20 years Hispanic minority Population will double over Black Population. The largetst minority as defined by the US Government will be Hispanics instead of Black citizens.

That's the problem with ethnic cleansing, even the "soft" variety - the group being cleansed doesn't tend to like it.

Thank you for stating what Whites DO NOT UNDERSTAND: they are being genocided. Soft as you put it, but still the same.

90% of US Naturalizations from 3rd World

In a further confirmation of the danger that legal immigration poses to America, new figures from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have revealed that 90 percent of all US citizenship naturalizations in 2013 were made by people originating from the Third World.

Interview with Professor Kevin MacDonald October 23, 2015 Discusses the immigrant surge in Germany and loss of 2nd Amendment through immigration displacement of the founding stock of America, the Whites.

Jewish Thinking About Syrian Refugees — Again

Beginning in the late nineteenth century, anti-restrictionist arguments developed by Jews were typically couched in terms of universalist humanitarian ideals; as part of this universalizing effort, gentiles from old-line Protestant families were recruited to act as window dressing for their efforts, and Jewish groups such as the American Jewish Committee funded pro-immigration groups composed of non-Jews (Neuringer 1971, 92). (see Culture of Critique, Ch. 7, p. 261).

And to understand how America got to this point:

It's different this time though. The people cleansing the West have the tools to make Whites docile and not resist one bit.
Sure, there's a grumble or two from the ones who are awake. But even those people simply complain about it and don't take it further; they don't have the numbers for support anyways. As I said in a previous post, whoever's in charge of this mess must be pleased with their work.

It's sad.

After Obama tramples on gun rights it will be almost impossible for Hillary to get elected.  Southern Democrats will be pissed and vote against her.  Republicans will vote in record numbers.  Anger motivates voters.

If only it does.  Voters always git taken in by de sound bites.  Can't imagine how voters can re-elect a proven incompetent for annuder 4 years.  Hillary Cankles will win the election by a landslide if she promises to give voters a free phone.

The preening, watmngering idiots on the right who allowed 911 and push the war on terra for greater israel are what caused the liberal backlash.

Well Kennedy stole the election as well I have heard.

Seems the crooks have been changing the vote since well before my birth.

However, if Bush did indeed steal both elections, that would mean nothing he accomplished is actually legal.

“When misguided public opinion honours what is despicable and despises what is honourable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe.”

I think it's easier once you just accept this- stop trying to make sense, stop worrying about the worlds problems because there's nothing we can do(at the moment). I'm using the time to enjoy my loved ones' company and quietly stack resources and skills I suspect will hold relatively more value in the future than they do now. Live long and prosper.
