Theoretically anything is possible at this point. This could actually lead to higher taxes on certain rich people as Trump uses his position to gently caress over his enemies, he could pass liberal social policy because randos from that group are friends of his or he wants to impress them, he could undo Republican policy with Executive Orders because his handlers get distracted and he doesn't understand the ramifications of what he is doing.....that's the issue with giving an unpredictable person power. They are unpredictable. In all probability this will be a Republican Nightmare from which the world will pray to be released in 4 years, but it's also possible in some ways he could make it a nightmare for Republicans too. It's that uncertainty which is going to hurt our economy most on the world stage [You can't bet on America when you have no idea what America will do from moment to moment], but the flip side is that at least *nobody* is truly safe in Trump's America.

Do you understand that a lot of vulnerable elements of society have been endangered by this election result? People who aren't comfortably middle class white males don't get to just lulz at this. This is an actual existential threat for many people.

OWLS! posted:We already have a wall, don't we? Well it's more of a chain link fence, but that's close enough, right? John Oliver had an episode about THE WALL and some of the wall we already have. The gov even took some land from REAL MERICAN to build it. IIRC, those people seem ambivalent, they say it's useless and an eyesore, but they're probably still like the idea but not the reality of it. FYGM/NIMBY , so what if I live right on the boarder, don't use mah land!

Stripped of that, at worst, it's a Keynesian boondoggle whose funds would be more efficiently applied to an actual infrastructure project. I called it a useless Keynesian boondoggle, in those words, first.  Although I think you helped defend my narrow position on the topic? So

This part makes no sense because you cannot help people who do not vote for you, period. If the person they vote for is the guy who promises to bring back the good old days when racial discrimination of jobs and services was normal, so white people could literally walk in and get a job due to not having to compete with literally any one else, you cannot beat that. Period. Even if that dude is a liar, you should never underestimate the power of racial hatred combined with hope. It's a bunch of medicore white people that long for the days when being that was enough. Period. If their only skill is knowing how to put part A into slot B for 8 hours a day, they were going to be hosed, and the only people to blame is themselves and their poo poo decisions in cutting education because they wanted to make sure no brown or black person benefitted from it. Quadrapellegiance posted:I agree with this post. This will end up becoming a comedy goldmine over the next four years, and I cannot wait.

I'm not paying that poo poo off anyway. Let a bunch of companies rely on 10% interest from mine and others' loans and watch them burn to the ground when no payments come. And they'll replace the ACA. They'll let insurance companies compete across state lines! It'll be great!
