Prester Jane posted:Your question doesn't even really make sense. What are you driving at here exactly? Because talking about how all the things Hillary did were bad seems dumb when her opponent cheated and we should be focusing on that. Hillary could have been a perfect candidate and the Republicans would have still stolen the election. That seems more of a pertinent issue than "She should have spent a little more time in Wisconsin(which by the way is one of the states whose voter rolls were compromised!)"

ImpAtom posted:He gets marched right out of the office by the secret service. Ehh, I really don’t think it’s cynical at this point to think it’s unrealistic for our systems to fail here. So what happens, SCOTUS denies his claims of voter fraud and says Warren is President, then he calls it a deep state coup and calls on the military to back him? I’m really just not sure our system of government was designed to handle a POTUS that would enthusiastically burn it all down in an attempt at self preservation. And I really think Trump will try.

Yeah I can’t see “hey I ordered a retreat opening us and our allies up to terrorist attacks and also directly stabbed a close ally in the back, selling their blood to appease a dictator buddy of mine, now protect my rear end as I become dictator” going super far with the military brass.

So you're essentially asserting hear that the election was outright stolen/hacked somehow by Trump and the Republican party? That the vote totals wouldn't have mattered no matter what, the election would have still gone to Trump?

Rabble posted:I know it veers into conspiracy theory territory but a part of me believes that either (a) Russia hacked our election systems and changed the vote totals or (b) the GOP performed a grand exercise in voter fraud and changed the vote totals along with their various state level campaigns of voter disenfranchisement and absentee ballot fuckery. Despite what people are saying, there's still reason to be skeptical enough to think SOMETHING happened. It's sketchy as gently caress. I don't have the time to list all the poo poo but among a few: We have Conservatives like Rubio not being straight or giving all the information about what happened in Florida. Mitch McConnell really doesn't want to protect the security of our elections. Russians were in positions to force Americans to use provisional ballots and we've had a bunch of cases the last few years of Republicans wholesale destroying or altering provisional ballots.

The fix was always in, and when we get to the bottom of it, it's going to be worse than we all thought. Remember how Trump kept saying that the election was rigged? He was telling on himself! It was just projection! It always is, and it always was.

The main answer is that most of Gen X came of age in the Carter/Reagan/GHWB years where the New Deal coalition finally came apart and Reaganism was the popular trend. Younger Gen X types who were teenagers in the Clinton years have views/votes a lot like older Millennials.

TheOneAndOnlyT posted:Trump might try, but why the gently caress would the military leadership go along with his order? Especially after this Syria bullshit. I mean we still haven’t heard poo poo from John Kelly or Mattis. Trump gets rid of top brass somehow he suspects might not roll with him prior to the election? (Before someone says that’s not possible, just lol) Top brass takes some idiotic stance like “I don’t agree with it, but he’d destroy the country if we remove him”. I mean I think there’s a lot of ways it could go down. Just like there’s lots of ways it could be prevented. I’m just saying that I think it’s naive to believe we aren’t looking at the potential end of playing American democracy with the 2020 election. And all the chucklefucks in Congress that would dismiss this out of hand are the same ones that have failed to have any meaningful plans to curb Trump’s corruption up to the present. Plus our media would *LOVE* it, it’d be record clicks and profits. The problem is that Trump has turned facts into “a debate” with a large enough portion of the population, this incentivizing enough reps and senators and the media, to make it worth giving it a try. And here’s why: Because if they support him and he loses the battle anyways, they’ll still profit/retain their power for fighting for him. I mean yeah sure this is speculation to a degree, but I just don’t think any prudent person can dismiss this away out of hand at this point.

Ok, but Trump only won because he took PA, MI and WI, states that Hillary infamously declined to campaign in and that were especially receptive to his crystal clear anti-trade, pro-manufacturing messaging (and Hillary's pro-trade history completely belying her anti-trade messaging). I don't disagree about cheating, but there is a ton of evidence that the Democrats hosed up. What do we gain by ignoring it?

nine-gear crow posted:South Park made Millennials an unsalvageable garbage apathy generation. It was MTV that poisoned the X'ers. Just as an anecdote: I’m between both generations and was raised in a white nationalist family. While South Park definitely fed my apathy, it also helped bring me slowly left. It wasn’t a paradigm shift by any means, but I think it helped open the door a little. (FWIW I’m very left now)
