The final nail in the Donald Trump coffin:

quote:

J.K. Rowling: Trump is worse than Voldemort

Donald Trump is worse than the literary and cinematic villain who unsuccessfully tried to kill "The Boy Who Lived."

That's according to J.K. Rowling, the British author of the "Harry Potter" book series, who on Tuesday tweeted her own thoughts about the GOP poll leader across the pond.

"How horrible. Voldemort was nowhere near as bad," Rowling wrote, in sharing a BBC article titled, "Why people are calling American businessman Donald Trump Voldemort."

You have to keep in mind that these forums are so insanely, ludicrously far left compared to the outside world that, as of this post, the Hillary Clinton thread has 3257 posts, the Donald Trump thread has 3238 posts, and the Bernie Sanders thread checks in with 93585 posts and has multiple posters who have made more posts about Bernie Sanders than there are posts in either the Clinton or Trump threads, and that these people have traditionally enjoyed official administrative defense against non-leftist political thought on these forums for close to a decade or longer.

those same posters get mad when you talk about actually existing socialism so it's not even "far-left" people it's a group of morons who don't know poo poo about anything besides tepid social democracy

honestly at this point posts from you and other serious not-serious trump people are preferable to the incredulity of the liberals here over neofascism becoming popular

Trump already guaranteed a Democratic victory. You have hours and hours of tapes of the other candidates nodding their head at his rants because they don't want to get Twitter-attacked. At the very least you can paint it as representative of the Republican Party, using footage of hundreds of people chanting USA at rallies.

Thank you alternative-universe Emperor of the Yoog Trump

You severely underestimate the ability of Democrats to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. If Obama was running for reelection? Yeah he'd probably have no problem, but Clinton has never been charismatic and she's a terribly blatant/awful panderer, and Sanders isn't going to get the r:evil:ution going.

It's a demographics thing

Trump is gonna straight up run the boards with (horrible) white men, but he won't do well with white women considering he's running against the potential first lady president, and he's a massive sexist. He also won't have the fear of a black president to run against

He's also gonna be a great gotv campaign for Hispanic voters.

Of course if there's an economic slump or like, isis kills a hundred people, I could see it being more contentious

Pissing off every Muslim in the world by telling them they're not good enough to come to our country will make them not want to attack us

Ah, I see. Muslims are good people who don't want to attack us, unless we don't let them in, then they will want to attack us. Muslims are very explosion-prone and only through appeasing them with soothing words about religion of peace and keeping offensive cartoons out of sight we shall be spared.

Or, maybe we could admit that we don't have a working solution to Islamic extremism and stop pretending it will go away on it's own if we look away and froth incoherently at anyone pointing out that there's even a problem.

I think Muslims are people. If you told me that the us was closing borders to all black people, or all Catholics, or all Irish people, or all Canadians, it would probably not engender great feelings in those groups towards us!

The left needs to start giving radical muslims the same poo poo it's giving radical christians. They're both far-right ideologies that hate women, LGBT, everything the left stands for. There is, and never has been a problem with moderate muslims the same way there's no problem with moderate christians. People flock to Trump because they're terrified that there is a growing global far-right extremist movement that has the goal of subjugating them and nobody is standing up to it because ITS RACIST, so they'd rather throw every muslim under the bus out of fear then wait until the situation goes out of control. I think it's a bad idea but freaking out about Trump's poll numbers considering the situation is absurd.
