it's totally believable to me that there are people completely devoted to Trump worship who are ignorant of the most basic details about the political process. I guarantee you there are people that stupid out there. *that video is amazing. I would probably hit up her patreon if she wasn't a Trumpy. uber_stoat has a new favorite as of 01:24 on Nov 9, 2016 |

From the alt-right thread: A video by an alt-right animator. It's probably actual genius.

If Trump actually wins this, the alt-right is going to be super insufferable, aren't they? Though I suppose that will be the least of our worries.

He's incapable of governing, a committee of reactionary political and military leaders will assume the responsibilities in his name. It will be a lot worse than a standard lovely Republican, this will be a bunch of unelected, unaccountable oligarchs controlling the executive branch directly.

"Your healthcare is even more in the garbage because of residual effects of Obamacare even though we totally repealed it!"

Reminder that the party that nearly brought the country to financial apocalypse, established a permanent special committe on Benghazi purely to drag Hillary's poll numbers down, and who's obstructionism has led to the least productive Congress in history now has control of all 3 branches of government. Republicans never face consequences for their actions. Literally never.

Terrible Opinions posted:I think it's more of a problem of the Democrats not giving an answer at all. The Republicans as a party of basically pure evil and hate should be really really easy to beat, but hey let's overtly refuse to consider the plight of people who live in different economic regions than our core voters. The Worst Things for Sale guy captured this pretty well: http://theworstthingsforsale.com/2016/05/07/america-is-already-great quote:This hat is symbolic of every pallid, limp response the Democrats have to the Republican Party. Instead of changing policy to benefit actual people, they make a Democrat hat to refute the Republican hat, equally false, and equally trivial. The Republicans are loving us with brooms, and the Democrats brag that they’ve worked hard to reduce broom-loving by ten percent over the past seven years. We eat hamburgers, or don’t eat hamburgers, for freedom, or to protest freedom. We are all helpless and want and need divine intervention but are only able to conjure men who declare themselves God because their father was rich. Every meaningful social movement is kneecapped by the hyper-wealthy, who laugh as our income declines in real terms, as it has for the past fifteen years.

To be sure full on "Dark Enlightenment" types don't even want "a right wing President", they want a full on autocracy and a restoration of feudalism with themselves at the top somehow. They'll find new ways to be oppressed by The Cathedral despite a government tilted as far in their favor as possible. Not to go all Godwin but I wonder if there were right wingers in actual fascist dictatorships saying "sure, the President is destroying all his enemies and leading us on a glorious crusade but that bitch Elsa still has me in the drat friendzone!"
