The Never Forgiving Your Friends and Family for Supporting Trump FAQ

Q: Should I forgive them when Hillary wins?

A: No. They must know isolation and misery unto death, or this will keep happening because it's "just politics."

Q: But they babysit my kids!

A: They'll turn your kids evil.

Q: But they paid for my college!

A: I don't care

Q: But Thanksgiving will be really awkward!

A: You know what's awkward? Getting murdered by obese paramilitaries, whom your Trump-loving friends and family are in love with.

Plus, they probably cook a really lovely turkey

Imagine if Donald had run as a Democrat with basically the same platform and now the election was between the Donald and Jeb Bush. That's kind of what it's like to be a Republican right now. For many he's just better than the alternative, even with all the crazy.

Remember, Trump often says things that are profoundly true but are rarely discussed directly in politics (yes, I know most of it is broken clock theory at work). He's absolutely correct when he says Hillary and other politicians are for sale and he's absolutely right when he says that globalization is destroying people's lives. Yet if Trump looses then who would fill his shoes on these issues? Hillary? I seriously doubt it. In fact from a certain point of view Trump is the last chance we could have at deep systemic reform for decades. Compared to that what's a racist comment or two? Particularly to your average conservative that was never too great on the race front anyways.

In this reality, I'd vote for Jeb and pray he is actually the smart Bush

The best part is that even if, by some dark miracle, they did take full power again, they'd be eaten alive by the rabid base they cultivated for so long. They beat the drum for hating government, compromise, and the Other for so long that making the kind of moves necessary to actually rule a nation would be taken as heresy by the very rubes they worked so hard to fool. They can only pretend to be "pure" for them so long as they have a Democrat to blame. When they don't and actually have to do something, then it all comes crashing down on them.

If anything, they're lucky Trump is imploding it on them now rather than later because that would give their rebelling movement time to coalesce into something even worse than the Tea Party.

Regardless of how quickly they would get primaried for instituting Full Anarchy Now!, they would still have time to completely wreck the social safety net of this country in horrible ways, that would take decades to undo. Remember how Bush's big thing in 2000 was about privatizing social security? Imagine that, but for everything

I always laugh at the "non-integrating immigrants will destroy America" line. It's been used for just about every race for the past hundred years. Hell it was used against catholics and the loving Irish back in the early 20th century.

Comey's doing what he's legally obligated to do. He's doing his job.

The FBI gave the information and even said "We expect this to remain classified" and the Dems are ready for it. They've even come out saying "Release the whole thing, and not just leak a partisan snippet." Not to mention if someone out there openly leaks it, aren't they doing exactly what they're accusing Hillary of doing in playing fast and loose with classified information?

They'll leak it, then claim it was a democratic false flag operation to leak it

quote:

After the Trump casinos filed for bankruptcy protection in 2004 for the third time, state officials noticed the company had not been filling out the required schedule for the minimum tax assessment. The Trump casinos had reported losing money and paid a little more than $600,000 in state income taxes in 2002, and only $1,500 in 2003. State auditors determined that the Trump casinos should have paid $8.8 million in alternative minimum taxes for those two years, according to court records.

quote:

Mr. Trump and Mr. Christie met in 2002, when Mr. Christie was the United States attorney for New Jersey. Mr. Trump�s sister Maryanne Trump Barry, then a federal judge in the state, had mentioned to Mr. Christie that her famous brother would like to meet him. They struck up a friendship. Mr. Christie was invited to Mr. Trump�s third wedding in 2005, and Mr. Trump was a prominent guest at Mr. Christie�s inauguration in 2010. They have double dated with their wives.

quote:

The company filed an administrative protest with the state, but it was rejected. The company�s lawyers continued to fight the state�s claim in bankruptcy court, arguing that the tax was unconstitutional and that it should not apply to the Trump casinos because they were organized as partnerships.

quote:

In February 2007, Heather Lynn Anderson, a deputy attorney general who specializes in tax cases, filed papers in court saying auditors had discovered discrepancies that raised �numerous additional questions regarding the accuracy� of the Trump casinos� tax returns. The company had reported lower revenue figures on its tax returns, for example, than on filings with the State Casino Control Commission. Ms. Anderson also wrote that Mr. Trump�s flagship casino, the Taj Mahal, had reported to the casino commission that it paid $2.2 million in alternative minimum assessment tax in 2003, which was not true. The company had paid only $500 in income taxes.

In particular, Beck sees a vision in which Breitbart executive chairman and host of Breitbart News Daily (which airs right before Glenn Beck on SiriusXM), Stephen K. Bannon might be open to supporting Donald Trump for president. Beck compares Bannon and Breitbart to Hitler's propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and accused them of "taking orders" from Trump in hopes of a cozy relationship.

"You�re not going to be the next Roger Ailes... Nobody is ever going to replace Roger Ailes," Beck said. "It�s certainly not going to be you..."

Just once I'd like to see someone who believes that any job isn't worth a living wage reconcile that idea with the idea that these jobs should exist at all. Is the idea that fast food just literally shouldn't exist and so nobody should work as a fast food employee? Or is it just that all fast food employees are worthless as human beings and so it doesn't matter if they make enough money to do anything other than survive?
