That's a monumental bit of spinning you've attempted to try and cover what really was a sloppy piece of reading on your part.
Probably easier just to admit you made a mistake. No one will think any less of you.
To imply there was no form of protest at all is inaccurate at best, deceitful at worst.
There was a massive spike in hate crimes against black people in the first weeks of his presidency and plenty of racist hate speech by those white men who could not accept that a black man was now their president.
Maybe you don't remember the vivid imagery of nooses and talk of lynching or shooting black people (especially Obama), but I'm fairly sure they do.
There is always some kind of protest after a US election. Especially when it's seen by enough people as divisive like Trump or Obama.
But that stands in stark contrast to what he was saying in 2012 following President Obama’s landslide victory, when he called for America to “march on Washington” and railed against the “phony electoral college,” accusing President Obama of an illegitimate victory because he “lost” the popular vote.
At last an article, that captures my take, on why the silent majority are pi$$ed off.

It isn't written overly well, but the overall sentiment is spot on. IMO
What Brendan Grylls is suggesting, is the only sensible tax on a non renewable resource.
All of our resources should have a $/ volume tax, not a tax on the profit.
The resource extraction and production cost, should be benchmarked against competing Countries costs and a $/Kg extraction cost applied.
This should be set so as to not make our resource uncompetitive, but ensure we receive value for every ton removed.
I think you are talking through your A$$ again....Best you do some home work first next time.
What a good idea.
The mistake where you said it was Chomsky that compared Trump to Goebbells.Admit what mistake?.....You are talking through A$$.
The preamble seems to be a convenient statement and rather arrogant if the writer thinks Goebbels would be impressed by the grumpy old white man voter turnout doing what old white men tend to do as they age. His target audience would have been the youth vote, which Hillary garnered.
This time around there wasn't a Kenyan, closet muslim candidate to vote for, thus the drop in the black voter turnout.

That or Trump could start a war with China and unite the yanks in fear again.
Interesting excuse for protest:

"he" = Trump
He's also putting his current Energy advisor - billionaire oil baron Hamm - as possible Secretary of Energy. Take that renewables!
I never said there were mass protests. I said there was a spike in hate crimes.

Americans aren't galvanised by fear, they unify through the arrogant belief they are mankind's salvation manifest as US citizens and fighting men.
The rise of the US was as a manufacturing hub for the British Empire, its big boosts came from supplying the British war machine in both big wars, plus Russian in the second.
The inflate their worth by claiming victory against impossible odds or coming to the rescue of the under dog, while profiting greatly for the exercise. The US has never empire built, but enjoyed the fruits of fallen ones and the lack of any to profiteer from post WW2 means they are in decline and the older white guy population can see it happening (60%++ voted for Trump).
No where did I say that there was Mass protest.To imply there was no form of protest at all is inaccurate at best, deceitful at worst.
So you are saying one thing and meaning something else.
The mistake where you said it was Chomsky that compared Trump to Goebbells.
Their rise came about long before the two World Wars, McQueen.
Started soon after they, with French help, kick the British out; then kick the Brits again in 1812; then buy off Louisiana Territory from that short dude; then "explore" and take half of Mexico; then kick the Spanish out of Florida... that and most of the Natives.
So they got a few scores of experience and empire building before Teddy bear Roosevelt thought to build some boat, take over a canal from the savages who don't know what to do with their land, and arms everyone who needs some leases.
But yea, maybe the older White guys can see the decline, but they ought to also see that Trump is a pussycat with fake tan and mane. He's no empire builder.

People who care about factual accuracy.Who gives a dam who said it...
I remember being part of a large corporation that is now a big player on the world stage. Back in the mid 80's we could see the need for new industry that would spawn new income, it was renewables. It was easily understood that a need had to be established to create consumers, so we bounced around ideas like climate change, pollution, scarcity of resource, etc.
I'm sure a business man in charge of energy would see the value in flogging high profit technologies to abate climate change and oil depletion. The low profit me too manufacturing can be left to China and Mexico.
