Fojar38 posted:To add to that someone said that the GOP might nuke the fillibuster to deny Democrats the opportunity to influence the senate but have there been any moves to actually do that It's practically guaranteed. A lot of the things Republicans did over the past decade are things that Congress could have done at any time, but generally refrained from doing because it was against ~tradition~ and doing it would give the other side an excuse to do the same thing back. Now that they've retaken control, the first issue on their slate is to prevent the Dems from using the exact same tactics against them.

And those same folks will be there; the ones who I tried MANY, MANY, MANY loving times to have civil conversations with about the state of the nation. Before I was met with "BENGHAZI! EMAILS! LYING LIAR WHO LIES!" when talking about stuff like climate change, education funding, etc. I'll earnestly wade back into the fray...and will likely be met with "LOSER! TRUMP! LEAVE THIS COUNTRY!". I mean, do some of you just not co-mingle with people in conservative circles or something? I can't find a single data point upon which even the most frugal of inroads can be made with these folks. Maybe I'm a poor explainer or poor debater or whatever. I dunno', but since 2000 it seems like I'm trying to talk to some sort of hivemind instead of an individual when confronting people who are conservative that I know personally.

Either he's frantically scribbling together some sort of actual platform or more likely he's just going to do nothing and let the people that voted for him slowly realize they;ve been had and then still vote for him again in 2020.

Trump, in many ways, is probably gonna' be like Bush 2.0 Sure, you'll worry about him holding the office, but it's his cabinet/advisors (along with the House/Senate) that'll really be loving up this country. As was mentioned last night, he is probably going to appoint a climate change denier as the head of the EPA.

They'll make bills to open up wildlife and national parks for oil/mining for him to rubber stamp and have him make the EPA worthless and kill any green energy projects. Nothing that's getting out through the next four years is gonna be a Trump brain child. He has no idea how to create bills. His ego will he stroked by the GOP then something will be given to him to sign. The people clamoring for an anti-establishment president have ended up handing the GOP the perfect gift for their establishment whims. There will be some vanity projects of Trump's to placate him for sure but the big ones will all be GOP created for him

And those same folks will be there; the ones who I tried MANY, MANY, MANY loving times to have civil conversations with about the state of the nation. They probably feel the exact same way about you. Everyone feels that their beliefs are basically correct, and thanks to modern media, the internet, and decades of ideological think-tanks, anyone can find a factual-sounding piece of "evidence" to support their beliefs if anyone tries to tell them they're wrong. You can't convince them because they've already decided that what they believe is the truth and that anything that contradicts that is fake. That's why conservatives bitch about "scientists", "academics", and "the media" all being liberal - if a scientist determines that something in their conservative beliefs is objectively false, then clearly the scientist is just a tool of the leftist conspiracy, cooking the books and creating fake "truths" to swindle the populace and support the dastardly liberal agenda. That's why it's so tough to change minds. Challenging them on facts is pointless, because if they haven't already decided they're genuinely open to changing their mind, they'll just dismiss any facts you throw at them, because they already have their own set of "facts" that agrees with them and is therefore more trustworthy than anything you can throw at them.

Fabulous Knight posted:I'm not from the US, so this probably doesn't mean much, but I was so depressed by the outcome that I had to start looking for some kind of silver lining. One I thought about was how during this campaign I was so scared of Trump winning that I often found myself just hoping Romney had won in 2012 so we wouldn't have to watch this. Sorry Euro-fam, after seeing Trump's runaway electibility, GOP's next guy is gonna be like Turbo-trump. "Amazing, it turns out our mistake was trying to be subtle about our seething hatred and/or fear people of color, gays, non-Christians, and foreigners! Double down! Double down!" and unless Trump does something to somehow sour an electoral base that's super into conspiracy theories and a fantasy of like the 1950s but there's smartphones, they'll be psyched about the next dude.
