P Nomis : I think that 9-million figure should be discounted, quite a bit, especially when you factor all the dead people still voting in Illinois, all the illegals voting in California, all the people voting in New York and Florida simultaneously, AND all the ballot-stuffing activities run every 2 to 4 years by Democrat fraudsters in control of virtually ALL city elections.
But more to the point, Trump won a RECORD NUMBER OF STATES. And the Electoral College is in place PRECISELY so that city people, cut off from God's Good Earth, can't in their collective insanity, insularity and group-think way, run rough-shod over the REAL PEOPLE out in the countryside and in the heartland. I'm guessing you probably live somewhere (probably a city) where you rarely encounter anyone who doesn't think the same low-information way YOU think, and when you DO, there's always a mob around to shame, harass, bully and smear the idiot with a different perspective than you and all your pals.
Conservatives don't labor under that handicap. We're typically SURROUNDED by people like you, who are OFFENDED by any opinion that is not 100% in line with your religion that you don't even realize IS a religion, because your faith is so deeply embedded in your consciousness that you don't even question most of your assumptions, let alone any of your conclusions, even though both are firmly footed in SAND.
For conservatives, it's kind of heady stuff to be in a comments section that isn't overrun by bigoted, low-information NPCs, who all have the same programming, so they think they're the smart ones. Hopefully, we're more gracious than libtards are, when the shoe's on the other foot. You're misguided, misinformed and otherwise a bit ignorant of the real world, but at least none of us here is instantly labeling you as a racist, in order to marginalize and otherwise SILENCE you.

@dennisvance4004 : It's not easy, and you can't always succeed at it. But on THOSE matters, you need to maintain a healthy skepticism, which is very hard for a lot of people to do. It's easier just to believe the "facts" presented by those whose narratives align with your own.
I don't watch cable at ALL, but I pick up a lot of it, second-hand from other sources. FOX more often gets the facts and the interpretation of facts correct than the other big outfits. But yeah. It's still carefully selecting its stories and glossing over inconvenient facts that you can only get by casting a wider net, entering your OWN queries into the searches you perform, and not settling for "the feed" that YouTube wants you to be fed, based on what it THINKS you might like, based on your previous viewing habits.
It's really easy to get trapped in a reality of your own making, with little or no connection to objective reality. Over time, you CAN build up a "rolodex" of channels that seem pretty level-headed and bring you checkable facts that you aren't going to find in any "feed" provided to you by Big Tech or MSM. But it takes a lot of time and fact-checking, before you can settle down a just "consume" what the best people YOU can find are putting out.
It ain't perfect, and never will be. But it's better than it used to be. Easier than it used to be. Just keep a weather eye on Congress and the President, when they start talking about "protecting the public" from Fake News. Every single one of those bastards are really only out to silence the opinions they don't like.

@thetruthchannel349 : Depends on whether or not the Congress drops the ball and the level of illegal immigration amounts to a social-services-breaking burden that may as well be seen as an INVASION. Congress enforces NOTHING. That's solely the purview of the executive branch. They can fling contempt citations to the 4 corners of the Earth, but nobody but the executive branch has the means of enforcing them. Ultimately, the main powers the Congress has are the ability to cut off the funding of anything the president wishes to do against their will, and advise and consent (or not) with regard to presidential appointments. Also, Congress alone has the power to declare war, and if they hadn't given the president more power than the constitution intended, we wouldn't've fought ANY wars since World War II, which was the LAST time we got a declaration!
I sure wouldn't mind seeing the War Powers Act be revisited. It's an atrocity that we fought for years in Korea and Vietnam, and overthrew more than one government in Africa, South America and the Middle East, without EVER getting a declaration of war. Sickening stuff. Those IN power want to run things like a Monarchy, with unfettered power to do what they want, and the American People just need to wake the hell up and rein in government run amuck abroad AND ESPECIALLY at home.
