Thirty-seven percent of all Americans thought African Americans were the most discriminated-against group in America, with eight percent saying Latino Americans, two percent saying Asian Americans, 14 percent saying Native Americans, and 21 percent saying white people.
When it comes to strictly Trump voters, though, a staggering 45 percent said it was white people who faced the most discrimination - with 17 percent saying Native Americans, 16 percent saying African Americans, and five percent saying Latino Americans.
Forty-nine percent of all Americans felt that Muslims were the most discriminated-against group in America, with 29 percent saying Christians and eight percent saying Jews.
Compare that against 54 percent of Trump voters saying Christians faced the most discrimination, with 22 percent saying Muslims and 12 percent saying Jews.

I need a new party. The two we have suck dick.
I don't know how to limit government, the vast majority of the spending is social security (do we want to cut from the seniors?), Medicare/Medicaid (Obamacare cut from providers and gave to the poor, can we cut more from the providers?), and the military (no conservative will ever cut from the military so it continues to expand). Then we get to the peanuts like food stamps, education, housing etc.
Both parties are bought off to spend on their pet projects so nothing gets done. If a party ever ran on a platform to truly go through each program and look for waste and cut it, I would vote for them. I was hoping Trump would ignore the money coming in because he already has enough. And cut from places that need to be like he would his businesses. But unfortunately he's too involved in playing for his side and fighting the other side rather than looking at what's best for the country.
