If Trump wins everything is going to be hosed, so please do not support a fascist that will ruin the lives of our friends to the south and, as the flames begin to die out after the purge is complete, turn the gold-plated Eye of Trumpon towards the north, probably because someone in this country called him an idiot.

What if doing all that opens them to going farther?

No loving way. Trump and his sons will take on so many back handers they will make Nixon blush. They will use the whitehouse to line their off shore havens. You are going to get unoffical militias and groups going around finding illegals to deport. And regulations will be repealed up the rear end, Trump will make the US much much worse for its people. GWB was a loving idiot. But he had Cheney and the cronies to keep his antics in check. There is no one here to stop Trump doing insane poo poo. Trump won't take a NO from anyone anyway. A crackhead has more control than Trump has.

Also a lot of this situation can be laid directly at the feet of the previous "good little steward of American capitalism" where, if you'll recall, hundreds of thousands of people died. so even in your magical fantasy land where Trump ISN'T a dangerous fascist you're still wanting to gently caress foreigners and the poor for no reason.

Wasn't Cheney the guy who wanted to glass the ME after 9-11 and Bush said 'well maybe not so much'. Bush definitely pushed his agenda, and was less curious than incompetent, but most of the governance stuff was handed off to the Nixonites and Cheney.

The hilarious thing is that this political nihilism/cynicism doesn't even make sense. We haven't had a true caretaker president in decades--pretty much every term has come with seismic changes on either the domestic or international fronts, and few of these were so inevitable that they would have happened in the same way under the other candidate.

To jump to the most obvious, Godwinning example, a lot of the powerful people that helped Hitler into power thought he was just pandering to the base too. Oh, it's okay, he doesn't really mean it, guys, we can control him, no problem. I'm not saying Trump is Hitler 2.0, but I am saying that it's really idiotic to assume a guy who appears to be a psychopathic narcissist obsessed with looking strong and powerful, is clearly delighted with the approval of awful people, openly admires dictators, constantly attacks the concept of a free press and encourages his followers to beat protesters, had political rallies that were so consistently violent most of the media just stopped covering it, favors the forced deportation of over two million people, wants to ban anyone of a certain religion from immigrating and has been open to the idea of a national Muslim database and searching mosques 'respectfully', and is so thin skinned that the length of his fingers has become a constant meme because one dude a few decades ago made fun of them and he's still so hung up about it he sends this guy mail...is actually a totally reasonable person who won't act irrationally while holding the most powerful office in the most powerful country with the most powerful military force in the world. It's at least as stupid to assume this won't somehow affect the country right next door. Our lovely politicians repealing certain laws, writing others, and generally looking the other way allowed our lovely finance people to tank the world economy, dude. I suppose that was super funny too. Hell, for that kind of thing, Trump doesn't even need to do anything but appoint some really awful Supreme Court justices, and he's already got one empty slot with possibly two more in the next four years. That's not even touching how he wants to start up/ramp up the torture program to worse than it was under Bush, and 'doesn't care' if it doesn't work. Even if you somehow believe he doesn't actually want to do what he says he does, or can't do it, this is something that happened (and in some cases is still happening) less than ten years ago, and there are lots of shitlords in this country who want to bring it back who aren't named Donald J. Trump.

Even if Trump is entirely hands-off and somehow doesn't shoot his mouth off while president, he's going to ruin the position. Why elect a President at all if they can just arbitrarily assign someone else to make all the judgments and work? I feel entirely stupid saying this poo poo. Donald Trump is going to ruin the dignity of the USA presidency if he wins. It's loving ridiculous. Oh no, the dignity of a position!

Or the fact that he'd be appointing at least one new Supreme Court justice who will impact the nation for a generation. This is all assuming that he basically does nothing, which is incredibly unlikely given his narcissism. Bottom line, he would be a complete disaster worldwide.

Hell, that is absolutely nothing. If Trump wins the presidency, at a time when the Republican psyche and identity has been crushed by McCain and Romney losing, if that is the time when Trump wins, then he will be their new god. The one who took back the presidency from Obama, and denied it to Hillary Clinton, a woman who has haunted their nightmares for a quarter of a century. If he does this, then every single Republican will fashion themselves after him. He will be how they govern and how they act. And we will fight this same battle for the rest of our lives.

None of these things are going to happen Well except we'll probably have voter ID after the rampant voter fraud that will assuredly happen in this election, but there's nothing wrong with voter ID unless you are dependent on getting as many low-interest and fraudulet voters as you can in order to win. Also SS will probably get addressed since it's a timebomb But Trump isn't even remotely anti-gay. Trump is bringing the Republicans out of the dark ages on gay stuff which is the biggest blessing out of his inevitable win. Also nobody is going to make abortion totally illegal and only fools pandering to a very specific vote even claim they will do that. If nothing else abortion is responsible for the drop in crime and helps keep less mouths dependent on welfare I think the real burning question here is will the Trump supporters be allowed their gloatathon after the Trump win, or will we all get probated despite the mass gloatings of 2008 and 2012 from the lefties?
