i dont trust anyone who thinks trumps presidency wont be disastrous.
people opposing hillary: she’s crooked people opposing trump: he makes me fear for my life
No but really is it not telling that there are so many Americans out there who are scared of what happens tomorrow and the next day, regardless of who wins?
People are honest to god afraid that if Trump loses, his followers will claim it was rigged and start rioting and killing. People are honest to god afraid that if Trump wins, his followers will see it as a validation of their prejudices and anger and start rioting and killing.
And after Trump’s behavior at that Nevada rally to add yet another notch in the violence belt, I gotta say, I really do understand the fear.
That’s what we’re talking about here, people. If Hillary wins, Trump supporters will bitch and moan and demand that she be locked up and continue to be prejudiced and ignorant for another four years until they get another yokel in the white house to “relate to”. If Hillary loses, people will literally flee this country for their lives.
will the LITERAL HITLER talk ever end?
Bruh I don’t have to compare the man to Hitler, I can use his own words to prove he’s a dangerously-uninformed moron:
“In the old days when you had wars, you win, right? You win. To the victor belonged the spoils… You’ve got to stay and keep the oil… You know, we’re the only country and if you look at wars over the years and I study wars, OK? My whole life is a war. You look at wars over the years. A country goes in, they conquer and they stay. We go in, we conquer and then we leave. And we hand it to people that we don’t even know. Now, who are the people that are going to be running Iraq? The person that hates the United States the most will be running Iraq. So, in a nutshell, we go in, we take over the second largest oil fields and we stay.”
“I would bring back waterboarding. And I would bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.”
“You have to take out their families.”
“Somebody hits us within ISIS — you wouldn’t fight back with a nuke?”
“I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me.”
“So we have to get very, very tough on cyber and cyber warfare. It is a, it is a huge problem. I have a son.He’s 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it’s unbelievable. The security aspect of cyber is very, very tough. And maybe it’s hardly do-able. But I will say, we are not doing the job we should be doing, but that’s true throughout our whole governmental society. We have so many things that we have to do better, and certainly cyber is one of them.”
“I think apologizing’s a great thing, but you have to be wrong. I will absolutely apologize, sometime in the hopefully distant future, if I’m ever wrong.”
“My IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure; it’s not your fault.”
And how about the word of experts and journalists:
Hitler? Please. I don’t even have to go there. I don’t even have to get into how eerily similar his ideas are to those of Hitler’s (I’ll let Keith Olbermann do that). All I have to do is listen to the man speak (or tweet, I still find it hilarious that this is the man’s primary means of discourse, might as well be fucking youtube comments) to his rabid fanbase to fully understand how moronic and potentially dangerous he is, to fully understand why people are afraid.
I mean, you at least understand that “he’s literally Hitler” and “stop saying he’s literally Hitler you’re so uninformed” are two sides of the same reductive, unintelligent argument, right?
But to answer your question? It’ll end when Trump loses the election, and then combines Alex Jones, Infowars, and Breitbart into Trump TV, where all his chums can ironically whine about safe spaces and biases while the rest of the world moves the fuck on.
if you care about LGBTQ+ rights, racism/sexism, conversion therapy, blm etc etc etc DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR VOTE VOTE FOR HILLARY or TRUMP WILL BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE GOD DAMN USA
DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR VOTE WITH A WRITE-IN OR A THIRD PARTY VOTE PLEASE!!!!
We’ve already lost 4 votes to Sanders in New Hampshire and one county threw 9 votes away to third parties, allowing Trump to win there. A vote for a third party is a vote for Trump, period.
the whole “neither of them deserve to win” argument abt this upcoming election is the most baffling thing. regardless of whether or not either of them deserve to win, ONE of them is GOING to win god damn it, and id rather it be the one that wont End the World as we Know It
like them “deserving” to win is literally irrelevant. either hillary or trump is gonna have my future in their hands and i will nestle gently into hillarys soft but morally dubious old lady hands like a baby bird long before i will let trump touch me with his nasty little Filth Sticks
Thing that really annoys me about people choosing to abstain from voting between Trump and Clinton is that, like…
I’m from Scotland, and I abstained from voting in Brexit. About whether or not the UK should leave the European Union.
My logic at the time I felt was sound. I didn’t know much about either side, and I felt that to vote based on what little knowledge I did have would be stupid. I felt that if you were going to vote for something so important, you should know enough about the thing before going into it.
Abstaining from voting in Brexit is one of the biggest regrets I have.
The night before the results came in I was getting more and more worried. I was talking to other people in Britain about it and following websites and… and I was really getting worried. I was really starting to hope that my country wouldn’t be stupid enough to vote us out the EU. Everyone had been telling me I should vote; not even what to vote for, just that I should vote and not let it go to waste. I didn’t listen. I had remained sound in my judgement that you should only vote if you have enough knowledge about what you’re voting for.
The next morning the results came in. Brexit had won. We were getting removed from the EU - not immediately of course; only over the course of the next two years, it’d take a lot of time to sort that out. But I was distraught. Why did we leave the EU? What was the point? What did it really get us? What was the reasoning behind the people voting to leave? I really wished I had voted. But no, all throughout; I had remained sound in my judgement that you should only vote if you have enough knowledge about what you’re voting for.
As the day and the next few days and the next few weeks went on it got worse. UKIP - an extremely racist party - had been one of the main forces behind voting for Brexit, so it felt like it was a huge victory for them. All across the country a bunch of racist people felt like they had won and felt… I don’t know, suddenly felt justified. You heard reports about them telling people of any other nationality more and more to ‘go home’ or whatever. You heard just so much racist shit happening across the country. When I looked at the poll results, I got even more pissed. Scotland had in a landslide voted to stay in the EU. London had in a landslide voted to stay in the EU. The entire age group under 50 had in a landslide voted to stay in the EU. But instead the rest of England and the age group over 50 had won. They’d taken the vote. More older racist people had voted than younger, and they got what they wanted. There were articles everywhere about how, essentially, the older generation that wouldn’t get to live to really see how this had turned out had ruined the future of the younger generation - our generation. My regret couldn’t be higher; but no, at the time, I felt sound in my judgement that you should only vote if you have enough knowledge about what you’re voting for.
And I’m seeing this happen again in America, but to an even more ridiculous extent. I wouldn’t even be able to use the excuse of not having enough knowledge of what to vote for; because it’s so obvious and in-your-face of who’s the worst of the two. If you don’t vote for Hillary and Trump wins, you’re going to be worrying the night before. If you don’t vote for Hillary and Trump wins, you’re going to question why the fuck that happened the morning the results are announced. If you don’t vote for Hillary and Trump wins; you’re going to find your entire country being more disgustingly racist than ever before, the older generation having a victory they’ll never live to enjoy and instead ruin it for you, and find older, primitive, idiotic parties fueled by hate getting more traction than they should ever be allowed to.
Please don’t do what I did. Please vote for Hillary. I don’t care how bad she might be; when the morning of the results come, you’re going to wish you voted for her. If nothing else, vote so that you don’t feel the immense regret and guilt in your stomach I now do.
