Also, how ridiculous is it to think that people will lose faith in Trump? Are you paying attention? The media will not scrutinize him, and even if they do, the cult of personality will kick in and his MAGAmen will blame the (((media's))) liberal bias, as Trump's Russian allies spread false stories and propaganda to reinforce their dumb world views. His followers are not going to leave him, potentially, ever.

The media will not scrutinize him?! Seriously? As if the media hadn't been attacking Trump since day one of his candidacy, and are still doing so now.


The media didn't succeed because everyone except your anti-russkie rear end knows its mostly lies spread by special interests and therefore doesn't believe any of it anymore.

But please, person who was so certain Hillary would win in a landslide, tell I - a person who predicted that neoliberal capitalism would result in brexit, Jeremy Corbyn and Trump and said Bernie would be the only candidate who could beat Trump - how clever you are.

Don't assume things about me or put words in my mouth. I never thought she'd win in a landslide-I just thought she'd win. However, I will say people who did were purely basing that on data that proved reliable in the past so I wouldn't fault them. For gently caress's sake, Trump himself thought she'd win in a landslide. Likewise, I'm not anti-Russian. I'm not anti-anyone based on their nationality and to insinuate that about me otherwise is deeply offensive. As dumb as it sounds, I've interacted a lot with Russian people just through the internet alone, and they're good people. I am against their authoritarian government though, as anyone should be.

Honestly, The Saurus, you've always been the absolutely worst kind of Trump supporter. You seem to know how awful he is, and how awful the people he surrounds himself with are, but you insist that he'll make things better through an Underpants Gnomes logic of sorts.

1. Get Trump elected
2. ???
3. Socialist state!

Frankly, I have more respect for people who ignorantly and earnestly believe Trump is looking out for them.

Ironically, Chris-chan has the exact same political views as you do, lol. Esteemed company :thumbsup:

And it wasn't irrelevant. It just tickled me that you had difficulty parsing humor in a post. People with autism, like who I thought you bullied (I literally know nothing beyond slim details), also have trouble with humor, especially in text.

He's the autistic man in question and the only way The Saurus could possibly have met his wife "reading Sonichu comics" (the weird comics he draws) is if they were both obsessively following a forum or thread dedicated to watching an autist melt down in real time

In other words he thinks some tepid burn that amounts to "you're bad because you're like the autistic person I find 'fascinating and funny'" is a good way to own you, which should tell you everything you need to know

And you're fully within your right to dislike the Mexican government. However, people who dislike the Mexican "government" are often about ten seconds away from going on rant about "those Mexicans taking their jobs," which is less okay.

I'm pretty sure all they did (if it was them, which intelligence agencies disagree on) was trick John Podesta who is apparently really dumb into clicking on a fake link, and then revealing the truth of how the clinton campaign and the democratic party acted to the american people and letting them make up their own mind. Hey, maybe that's why Clinton emailing classified info on her home server was such a big scandal in the first place!!

Frankly, I have no idea that they didn't do that. We don't use paper ballots. The Russians have notoriously had deep cover spies in our country. Who knows what happened? I know as much about their hacking our election results as Trump did about Obama's birthplace.

And the Russians did more than leak emails. It was a coordinated propaganda campaign that is still going on as we speak.

Then maybe Americans will finally stand up and stop letting their democracy be undermined by domestic interests out of fear that it could be happening by foreign interests?

And Trump is better than Hillary if only because he is turning back a few of the tenets of neoliberalism, like global free trade, the drug war (at least on weed) and open border[illegal if necessary] mass immigration (which under capitalism is just a ploy to increase the reserve army of labour and drive down wages and conditions, with accusations of racism as necessary for opponents).

I'm not sure if you realise how much neoliberal capitalism has utterly screwed the working class and the entire world in the last 30 years, but defeating it is more important than anything if you're a working class person whose lives and communities have been devastated by it. obviously you're doing okay.

The working class has been screwed by a microscopic elite that has consolidated all political and financial power due to right wing fuckboys, like Trump's cabinet and his Republican allies, kowtowing to them. Trump is doing nothing of value to stand up to them for the poor. If anything, he will accelerate problems further, as climate change grows out of control, taxes on the rich decline, and vulnerable groups like gays, blacks, Hispanics, and Muslims are targeted. All four of those groups are more likely to be poor than white fuckboys, such as myself.

Also, Americans will never stand up for anything (most likely due to the obesity epidemic).

WRONG.

You can base your vote on a gently caress load more than what a politician says. If you just based your vote on what politicians say, how would you ever decide who to vote for? Every politician on the planet is going to promise some pretty great sounding stuff because why wouldn't they? And it's awfully cavalier to the suffering of others to just casually say you can vote them in, let them bing bing bong bong the nation for four or eight years, then vote them out like it's that simple. Like no will get hurt or literally die as their healthcare support goes to nothing.

You just strike me as a naive dude. You might never be personally affected by Trump trumping things up, but I know many, many people will be.
