[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;51339420]I just think that CTR[/QUOTE] My favorite revelation from the Podesta emails is that CTR consists of about a dozen people working out of an actual field office but people like you think it's this wide-reaching underground network of Clinton astroturfers and shills that would actually engage any amount of time on sites like FP or 4Chan. [QUOTE=Pretiacruento;51339420]They should have learned from Brexit, look how that ended up, but nooooo. I swear, Brexit should have been treated as a massive wake-up call.[/QUOTE] I really hope the trend of tying Brexit to Donald Trump's presidency continues because they really do deserve each other.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;51339425]They only made things easier for Trump. Now deal with it.[/QUOTE] I just love this me tality of "deal with it" tell that to me when hundreds more trans people die because they suddenly couldn't afford their medications. Tell that to people like me who could quite possibly lose our right to marry those that we love. "Just deal with it" is all fine amd dandy when your ass isnt on the line. Have some empathy.
You know what, I'm not going to bash anyone for voting trump based on the fact that he's authoritarian, or capitalist or anything, it's not my right to judge your opinions and I won't think your a lesser person for it. but I will bash you for supporting Trump over all other Republicans. He's a dude who is openly very anti-LGBT who has a VP who literally signed a bill to arrest people for trying to get marriage licenses as a homosexual, as well as someone who supports conversion therapy I will take it as a personal attack because that is fucking unacceptable. The idea that gay marriage [I]could [/I](Not will, but could) become not only banned but illegalized in years come by is depressing. You're supporting a VP who cares more about committing rights violations than accepting loss and just giving into something that doesn't actually harm him personally. I would also add "because he's a huge racist" to the list but I'm white so I can't really pretend it'll personally affect me. But why the fuck would you accept an openly racist narcissist over other choices. It's great to know that Trump supporters don't support me. I can't imagine what it feels like to be this numb and careless about other peoples [I]lives[/I].

[QUOTE=DETrooper;51339469]A glorious victory.[/QUOTE]"glorious" is a word most commonly found in the vocabularies of totalitarian regimes.
[QUOTE=Grandzeit;51339438]A lot of people agree with him, or considered him the lesser evil of Clinton vs Trump. And too many anti-Trump people either didn't vote or voted third party. While I do think a lot of people are severely overreacting at what he'll be capable of, I hope for the best.[/QUOTE] I'm less scared of what he'll be capable of and more scared of what Supreme Court Justices he'll pick. I'm much more scared of what a fully Republican government will do. Four years of Trump during a time when so many SC justices are on the verge of death is horrifying. It will have long-term effects for literally another 30-40 years. I hope the more liberal justices hold on long enough to be replaced by a president who isn't out to literally repeal the Obergefell ruling.
If both the US and UK economies tank hard what does that spell for the world?

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;51339386]Can you define those terms as you use them[/QUOTE] Jingoism is thinking that those of a different country are inherently inferior. Nationalism is a feeling of love and loyalty to one's nation, typically among cultural and sometimes ethnic lines. For more multicultural nations like the US and Canada, Civic Nationalism is more along just the land of one's country and the ideals they feel it represents. [QUOTE=.Isak.;51339393][b]Patriotism, civic nationalism, all of those are okay, sure.[/b] But underneath Trump, there's racial nationalism festering and growing. Pretending it doesn't exist is idiotic. White nationalism is on the rise in the US, and it's rallying behind Trump. White nationalism is actively contradictory to the civic nationalism of the US. One celebrates people of all backgrounds uniting under a common appreciation of rights and rule of law, identifying as Americans. The other excludes people of certain backgrounds and united under skin color. They don't mix.[/QUOTE] Glad you see it my way. I think this white nationalism nonsense is overplayed, and nowhere as big of an issue people make it out to be. The Trump rally I went to in Austin (whose county voted Clinton lmao) was remarkably diverse and everyone was incredibly friendly, to add my useless anecdotal evidence. [QUOTE=AJ10017;51339396]You were conned like the rest of America[/QUOTE] Ok, you told me.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;51339483]If both the US and UK economies tank hard what does that spell for the world?[/QUOTE] China will be the United States of the 1950s. I honestly can't see a world in which China doesn't come out on top from all of this. They're already pivoting to a consumption import economy over an export manufacturing economy, so they're ready to fill the US's boots, and with tariffs set out to stop labor exports to southeast Asia, I can see China taking over those areas and expanding out of control. It would be horrible for global markets either way, but if it did happen, China would end up on top. By a lot.
[QUOTE=J!NX;51339405]All I know is, I really hope that 1-2 year(s) in he fucks up so hard that he gets impeached[/QUOTE] why do you want him to mess up and get impeached? wouldn't it be better that Trump actually does a good job? you're sounding like you don't want what's best for the country, just what's best for yourself
There are a lot of people in here who are lamenting the death of democracy, civil liberty, gays/lgbt's and generally society as we know it. I think those people need to calm down. All i'm genuinely concerned about is if Trump could put the world economy at risk, we don't need another recession thanks to irresponsible politics. It wouldn't be anything we haven't seen out of America before though. You guys don't seem to be able to plot your way out of a paper asshole.

Something like marriage equality getting overturned is no easy feat either. Grow up a little, would you?[/QUOTE] "No easy feat" You say that, but with a Red Senate, House, President, and likely 2-3 Trump appointed Justices it'll be a fucking cakewalk

There's definitely risks in play, and with how 2016 has gone so far, it's hard to tell how it'll go. I just doubt there's any chance it'll go down the borderline "minority gulag" and Great Wall of Mexico route. We'll see, I suppose.
Glad I moved out of the country three years ago. Good luck, amigos!
[QUOTE=Numpers;51339522]why do you want him to mess up and get impeached? wouldn't it be better that Trump actually does a good job? you're sounding like you don't want what's best for the country, just what's best for yourself[/QUOTE] Maybe I'm selfish, but maybe its because I don't think Trump is whats best for this country? I don't see why that is being turned against me. If trump does a good job according to what he wants, wouldn't you agree that that would end up being a BAD thing? This is a dude that wants to deport 11 million people, has a very heavily anti-gay VP, wants to repeal universal healthcare... how is this a positive change? The less time he has to fuck these things up, the better I'd love if he fixed the economy because that'd be for the best, except you know, I'd also if he didn't try and ban literally massive groups of people based on their birth-race, because that's, like, bad, and shit. How is not wanting that selfish?

Something like marriage equality getting overturned is no easy feat either. Grow up a little, would you?[/QUOTE] The two scenarios that Kyle mentioned are both things that Trump has supported on several occassions and, with a Republican congress appointing Republican judges, could very well become a possibility. Maybe the person who should grow up a little is the dude who responds to these concerns with "Deal with it" because his political identity was reaffirmed.
[QUOTE=.Isak.;51339515] It would be horrible for global markets either way, but if it did happen, China would end up on top. By a lot.[/QUOTE] ...and I bet that Obama will still somehow be blamed.

The republican stance is anti-lgbt. Put two and two together and formulate an argument with actual substance. Stop being childish.
[QUOTE=St33m;51339526]There are a lot of people in here who are lamenting the death of democracy, civil liberty, gays/lgbt's and generally society as we know it. I think those people need to calm down. All i'm genuinely concerned about is if Trump could put the world economy at risk, we don't need another recession thanks to irresponsible politics.[/QUOTE] Trump putting global markets at risk is the most frightening thing, but you shouldn't discount the other things - particularly LGBT rights. The 2008 recession, literally the worst since the Great Depression, was almost entirely a result of the US subprime mortgage crisis. And it had global effects. If Trump actually implements his trade policies, 2018 could easily crash entire global markets and absolutely devastate global trade. I don't want to sound hyperbolic when I say it could be worse than the Great Depression, but it could be worse than the Great Depression. Trump's proposals are unprecedented and the effect they'd have on global markets aren't exactly clear, but they'd have wide-ranging effects without a doubt. If a housing crisis in the US can trigger a global recession, protectionist tariffs for all imports could do the same, and more.
Welp
Take me on this 4 year long ride, put the popcorn and pepsi by my side.
Can't wait for all these venomous trump supporters to choke on their deregulated emissions!
In less then a hundred years we could see widespread flooding of coastal areas and some island nations will simply not exist anymore. But at least we have this fucking wall am i right guys?
