For all there is to hate about Trump, I’m much more scared of a President Cruz than a President Trump.
Why? Just curious.
Bottom line is that Trump wants attention. Cruz wants power. Trump is an entertainer. Cruz is a master politician who believes petulance is a political ideology. Of every Republican in the field, Cruz is most steadfast in his ultra-conservative beliefs and will never bend or meet for compromise.
Trump craves attention and will always put himself above policies. Cruz is incredibly methodical and is always playing the long game to accomplish his policy goals. Yes, Trump is far more likely to accidentally set off an international incident, but Cruz in power will strangle this country and bring it to its knees before he allows it to become something he doesn’t agree with.
- I cannot stress how evangelical Ted Cruz is. If he wins this election, it will be on the backs of the religious right.
- He wants constitutional amendment to make SCOTUS judges have retention elections so he can boot off justices like Kennedy who become more liberal over time.
- He’s willing to shut down the federal government instead of allowing any funding of Planned Parenthood.
- He wants to ban birth control including IUD and morning after pill
- He did actually shutdown the federal government because he doesn’t like Obamacare.
- The next president will probably nominate 4 justices to the Supreme Court. (1 Conservative, 2 Liberals, 1 Swing) Cruz will not consider any nominees who have a hint of moderate in them. This could easily lead to a 7-2 Supreme Court decision outlawing abortion, ending Obamacare, or abolishing affirmative action or civil rights protections.
The reason Trump will never scare me as much as Cruz is that Ted Cruz is brilliant, he is a true political organizer and mastermind. He’s skillfuly united faith circles all over the US and will ride a wave all the way into South Carolina.
And just to prove my point. Look at the Tea Party. It’s a tiny segment of American politics, but the power it carries is because of Ted Fucking Cruz. When met with something he didn’t like, he SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT as a freshman Senator! A FRESHMAN! Imagine him with real executive power.
Holy shit
Holy shit is right
Ted Cruz would be a literal disaster. He’s outright said he believes life begins at conception and if Cruz would become president there would be even less separation of church and state and we’re already having problems with that. With cruz guns will probably become more accessible and overall it would be an awful term. Hes also an asshole like I understand that trump is fucking garbage but if it was a choice between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump I would choose trump. I don’t think trump has the know how to ruin the country like Cruz would. Yeah it be a shitty four years but I honestly feel as if the damage trump would leave on america would be way less than the damage Cruz would cause. Ted Cruz is a religious nut who would really mess shit up, especially things with planned parenthood. That would be over. And the sex education in schools would be non existent. It would be abstinence only and kids will barely even know what a condom is. A mix of no sex education, outlawed abortion and birth control methods and no more planned parenthood spells DISASTER for America’s youth!!! The fact that ted won in my states caucus is fucking terrifying!!!!! Do not vote for ted cruz!!!
Star Wars is particularly good at tailoring its villains to what people of the time fear most: in the late 70’s/early 80’s, it was faceless, militaristic dictators, in the late 90’s/early 00’s it was shady politicians who seize power questionably and then immediately start wars with murky ulterior motives, and in the 10’s, it’s twentysomething white men with no self-control.
OH SHIT
Where is the lie O.O
i will draw some when I get home from work tonight.
i really love our generation’s joke trend of like, very calm but incredibly inflated hyperbole. like nobody says “oh she’s pretty” anymore we say “i would willingly let her murder me” and everyone is just like “lol same”
i think “same” is also great and “me,” i love when somebody reblogs a picture of like, a lizard, and just says “me” and we all know exactly what they mean. the current online Humor Discourse is remarkable because we trade exclusively in metaphors and implications and nobody ever, ever says anything outright and yet EVERYBODY understands each other perfectly
