Explaining American Men's 'Electile' Dysfunction In 1 Serious Chart

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Did we just cross "the tipping point" for faith in the American dream?

 

(US Labor Force Participation for Males vs "Trump" news story count)

Having fallen consistently from almost 90% particpation in the labor force in 1948 to just 68.5% in 2015, it appears that crossing below the 70% participation rate has pushed American men to their limit of faith in career politicians.

Still not sure why 'term limits' is not even a topic of discussion. Sure it would take pressure of the people to force that on them. It would solve a lot of this insider millionaire golden parachute bs that we give the traitors, who consider themselves above us, in congress.

Edit oh and paper friggin ballots or reciepts. diebold can not be trusted, digital only my ass!

While Trump's wealth makes him more independent compared to his rivals, he alone is also taking on the Globalist Agenda of Muslim Migration, Political Correctness,

Multiple Vaccines, gun grabs, Bush's failure during 9-11 and Hillary and Obamas role in creating ISIS.

While the latest Gallup Poll rated Federal Government Corruption as the biggest problem by 75% polled, I believe Trump's War on the Globalist Agenda spewed by Obama and the MSM is the main reason for his wild popularity.

Americans are so sick of the media cramming down our throats the Globalist Agenda that attemps to shame us if we are not politically correct that Trump is exposing.

All symptoms goddamn it. Trump has yet to say word one about any of the root causes of our problems.

Agree completely.  I have yet to see Donald Trump doing anything EXCEPT insult other people. I haven't seen him say anything that shows that he understands the real problems.  And I have not heard one word about how he plans to fix things.  Trump says ... "I'll get good people".  What he really means ... "I will get people who support Donald Trump and bow their knees to me". 

America is a facing a tough future.  If the system collapses, a lot of American families will starve.

The end result is unlikely to be newfound freedom.  Maybe it will be a military takeover of the US Government, or some other hardline approach (an American Putin).  And the people will say YES to anyone who puts food on the table.

I don't doubt that. But I'm also sure that when Trump was bragging how he got along with both parties, he would do that as president. That means going along to get along.

Words count for nothing during a political campaign. When a politician talks, he doesn't tell you what he believes; he tells you what he wants you to believe.

It has nothing to do one way or another with Trump... A vote for Hilary would qualify as both 'Electile Dysfunction' & 'Erectile Dysfunction'

Obama didn't do dick. He signed orders that got placed in front of him. That's all. it isn't like he had a choice. No matter whether it's Clinton or Reagan or Buch or Obama or whoever the next puppet in chief is the president is not the fucking problem.

How many people who voted for Obama will claim that it's not him doing this shit, but some invisible force behind a curtain somewhere? Hope and change just can't be a lie. When our savior becomes our destroyer, he obviously is only the visible hand of the devil.

It is doubtless that choosing between right or left is largely an empty choice as they are all big government collectivists of one level or another, but lets not give any of them too much credit as being simply a puppet of higher powers. They are an indispensable and culpable component of what we all face as a rapidly growing tyranny. What was once subliminal is now full in your face aggression, one that we have largely resigned and capitulated to.

you taliking about grammar? lets start with "You don't like commas or the truth, do you?"

your head is missing. i dont know if you are asian or not but anyway you are a bragging idiot

look at your chon chon family. sure all of you are working  - for 5$ the hour/ 20 hours a day/ 7 days a week

well done asiatski! you brave work slave good

 

but at least there are some good thing about asian people. like having an IQ above average and not be able to figure out how to pronounce the l and r sound right

4th generation of asians in america and still no one can understand what they want to tell you.

herro  herro i em light hele.  phong phong prease came and geto me a cock a cora.

 

but lets go to the negative of asian culture mixed into western society - car driving

if you have ever seen an asian car driver it was probaly you last one, because they will crash you 5 times.

do you know why chinese people built the railways in america back then? the reason is they cant drive car so they are dependant on trains and train stations.

after sexual revolution in the 60s american leftist retard government allowed asian people to drive cars for the first time in american history. it ended with 15 million dead people. later they had to replace the dead people with mexians. sad story

Odd then that white countries have much higher per capita wealth and production than Asian ones do.

 

What do you think causes Asians in their home countries to not be as productive as white people?

i thought we were talking about the usa but apparently you are in denial about who actually controlled the world economy before the barbaric euros "discovered" the "new" world.

aside from that the unemployment stats in the usa show asian men at full employment while white and black people can't seem to find a job. i will give that whites are better than blacks but to deny the uselessness of white trash and the size of that population is ignorant.

'Trump' is doing nothing more than what has been done by every other 'charasmatic leader' since man learned how to organize in groups.    He's 'tapping in'...   How this translates into level-headed, tempered leadership over a nation remains to be seen.

All he has to do to be wildly sucessful is nothing.  Because everything that has gone wrong has done so because people have done something.  And always the wrong something.  The Fed, deficit spending, and so forth.  All done by somebody deciding to do it.  Congress needs a giant "shut up" for the next 30 years.

Right. He's saying all the right things to get attention, and in the language people want to hear it said in. You think he doesn't have teams of publicists planning this shit? You're kidding yourself. And the media is giving him all the coverage he wants which tells you everything you need to know.

Yeah, it's great that Trump made so much money by investing in productive assets that increased the real wealth of the country and justly profited thereby.

 

Oh wait, he didn't do that. He invested in casinos to game old ladies out of their money and high-end hotels to cater to the very wealthy while all his investments of actual wealth-building productive assets went to Mexico and China.

 

You can tell a Trump supporter by their complete ignorance of his actual background.

He's not interested in "getting away with anything".

He's interested in stopping and reversing the flow of illegals into the US, stopping the flow of mahommedans into the US, reversing trade arrangements so the US actually makes more of what it consumes and recreating the better jobs that requires, seeing that vets are properly cared for.

If any of that concerns you then it speaks volumes about yourself.

Every single female seems to be getting employed now in the county I live in. Females grace the front page of the liberal rag every day. Females in all the billboards. On teevee, its all about the womens. Everyone is soft and safe and happy and retiring and proud of the lives they have led.

Everything is rosy in baby boomers lives.

Most of them are totally absolutely incompetent.

They are training lots of female cops and sheriff deputies as well.

I can remember when 95% of the deputies were white males.
The police department is totally run by ruthless women. Some are married and have PDA's at work.

Lots of women now run the state agencies.

Especially fat black females. They waddle to work to sit and do nothing all day and then waddle back home to their expensive houses and no children.

Women have sold out the countries future with their misuse and abuse of power, and corruption that knows no bounds.

I though men could fuck up the nation. I was wrong.

Giving women the right to vote was a mistake and obviously catered to the lowest common denominator.

All planned by the jewish red shields.

Yes. Men have been systematically driven out of the labour force since the war. The master class figured out "liberated" Girl Fridays would work for less, complained less, and were less likely to leave and set up a competing firm. Hence women were recruited as their fathers' and brothers' replacements, discouraged by officially-approved second-wave feminism from marrying and having children. 

The masters, of course, remain overwhelmingly male. There is no such thing as a self-made female billionaire. All truly wealthy and powerful women inherited or married their money and power.
