Public Policy Polling: “Asked what racial group they think faces the most discrimination in America, 45% of Trump voters say it’s white people followed by 17% for Native Americans with 16% picking African Americans, and 5% picking Latinos. Asked what religious group they think faces the most discrimination in America, 54% of Trump voters says it’s Christians followed by 22% for Muslims and 12% for Jews.”

1. I'll tell you

When I see a group of white "christians" being nailed to trees, that's when I'll believe they're the subject of discrimination!!!

2. WE FUCKING KNOW

Is there any passing thought of any Trump voter in the country that doesn't get front page treatment?

[Moostache]

3. The politics of the permanently aggrieved

There is no convincing these people that they are not the only victims in the world despite you know...reality and facts.

[Orrex]

4. Must be tough

Being part of the majority and controlling the entire government along with nearly all corporations.

When will white Christians finally get a break?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. Yeah

It's not like every other politician is a born-again Evangelical Christian trying to impose Christian Sharia Law on everybody else, especially women.

5. Disgusting

It is truly disgusting when the most privileged among us claim to be victims. As a white man who was raised Christian, I have the self awareness to know how my background has helped me, to deny this is pure mental illness.

6. That's what they've been told by their right-wing preachers, radio and tv for 30 years

They live in a right-wing bubble, why would they NOT believe it.

7. Yup, they've been fed a perpetual fear and hate machine for 40 straight years.

The right wing media tells right wingers to hate everyone and everything who's not them. Then they go to church and get told by right wing pastors to fear everything. It's a perpetual cycle and it's been happening for 40 straight years. Then they go home and watch Fox News 24/7 where they're fed hate *AND* fear with stats and opinions to back up the absurd claims. Repeat the cycle for 40 years. So is it really a shock to people that this new generation of 18-25 year olds are genocidal, neo Nazi Hitler loving psychopaths? It's a perfect storm waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

8. WTF That's fucking absurd

Is this the real, can't be,has to be a joke

[workinclasszero]

9. I am a white christian male

I can confidently state that I have never in my entire life been discriminated against for that fact.

No separate but equal drinking fountains, no Jim Crow laws, no lynchings, no KKK cross burning's on my lawn, no housing redlines, no driving while white pullovers, no getting shot to hell while reaching for my wallet etc.

OTOH I have been extensively discriminated against for that all american crime of being non-rich!

The people that claim they have been are miserable lying racists IMO.

10. Alice through the looking glass could not be any more confused than

a white Christians who thinks they are a victim of discrimination. What world do these delicate flowers live on? I suspect they find victimhood in normal daily events that don't go their way. Like when the restaurant runs out of Porterhouse steaks and they have to settle for a T-Bone... discrimination!

[FuzzyRabbit]

12. The reason they think they being discriminated against

is because not everyone will convert to their perverse brand of christianity.

[Wounded Bear]

13. So 75% of the population is being discriminated against...

Well, considering that Trump won on about 35% of the population (not actual votes) that is kind of true. I feel discriminated against by Repubs and Trumplodytes.

[Lee-Lee]

14. When privilege is your norm equality seems like discrimination

Or more accurately even a slight shift toward equality does.

[leftstreet]

15. Because so many Christians can't rent an apartment

They also face discrimination trying to get equal pay in employment, or get into college, or trying to get cops to quit shooting them




These people are fucking delusional
