Mean so much from somebody who was a hardcore Bernie Sanders supporter when this election began.Excellent post...and I'm afraid that you are right. This is probably the nation's last chance. We are at a tipping point. If Hillary & the Democrats win today, the Welfare State will have officially arrived. Soon thereafter, the Democrats will have incorporated more beholden voters with more giveaway programs and the number of voters riding in the wagon will be able to permanently outvote the taxpayers who are paying for & pulling the wagon. The nation will have reached the point of no return.

Yeah, you're kind of dumb. That's all I really got.
There are muslims, women, and black people who wanted Trump to win. You've fallen prey to the mindset that the President has to be some infinitely diverse plushy bear that just wants to give hugs. It's the leader of the free world, dude - not a free-tolerance-hug machine.
The vast majority (I'm thinking 1 or 2 in our history) of presidents have said the equivalent of the "grab them by the pussy" thing. More than half have likely acted on it. The "women hate Trump" shtick perpetrated by the MSM is only a thing because he's running against a woman. Another man couldn't point the finger, because he'd be just as guilty. Fuck, Joe Biden was a potential for this election - he's notoriously handsy with women on the Hill.
As far as black america goes, I don't even know where to start. A good place would be that we're coming off 8 years of a black president - and that's going to screw with the electorate numbers from a practical standpoint. But, moreso, I see Clinton as a stamp of validation on the current programs that we have in place now. Our government is DESIGNED right now to perpetuate the prison-industrial complex (PIC) which feeds on black families. Just straight up, that's how it works. Clinton is going to perpetuate that hardcore - she's in bed with the PIC and all the attendant lobbyists. She will absolutely continue to feed on the soul of black america in the same way that Bill, Bush, and Obama have. Not because maybe they don't care (I genuinely believe that Obama wanted to help black America), but because the strings leading to the marionette are spun with PIC gold.
For example, do you know that our food stamp programs have a provision in them that prohibits felons from living with beneficiaries? When 1 in 3 black men are going to end up as felons, do you understand what that does? It makes it so that those families don't have a father figure in their lives. I work in the criminal justice system - across the board, the largest predictor of felony criminal behavior is the lack of a father-figure in someone's life. We have a system right now - straight up - all that is on the books - that LITERALLY creates the problem that it is trying to solve. It's fucking appalling.
Trump has at least acknowledged that plight - he's spoken at length about inner cities and the condition they are in. I genuinely believe that black America's hope doesn't lay in Clinton, but instead rests firmly in a candidate not beholden to the PIC.
As for the Muslim thing, it's just something we're going to have to acknowledge at some point. The First Amendment is amazing and it's done a lot to make America what America is. It's also always the first casualty of war. We've been killing muslims for 12+ years now. That's led to us needing a policy that is going to mitigate that threat that we've created. It's not pretty - but it's the hand we've been dealt at this point. It's going to be a problem for whoever sits in the whitehouse with no good answers. Just saying, "peace be with you" isn't going to get the job done at this point.

Admittedly Knight makes some good points in there. If Donald Trump had run on those points-of-view instead of highlighting the tin-foil, narcissistic, racist, sexist that he is, then maybe there would have been a different view of him.
