You know, you guys, Trump is really not that bad. You're kind of blowing this way out of proportion. Y'all had motherfuckin' Andrew Jackson--the man who
eagerly entered into duels just so he could maim and murder people--as your president once. This same man ran on a platform that made him all kinds of hot and bothered for slavery, supporting it fervently. Even back in his day, there were many who thought he took his love of slavery too far, and he was implicated in breaking laws surrounding slave trading. He created the trail of tears and gleefully ordered native americans to be forcibly moved and even killed just to allow more imperialist western expansion.
Donald Trump is an asshole. I get it. Yes, he says provocative and idiotic things, but do you really think he's the only one who does it? Bernie Sanders is promising a 15 dollar federal minimum wage. In some states, that would increase the cost of hiring employees by more than 100%. That would easily create a nightmarish, economic apocalypse right there by itself, but he also proposes widespread increases in spending. All of which will be paid with by increasing taxes on the rich?
Are you fucking kidding me?
The Liberals made that same kind of promise here in Canada. It punched a two billion dollar deficit in their budget plans instead, which quickly and grotesquely grew to ten billion. I don't think people grasp how taxes
fucking work. I don't think Bernie does. It's not like the rich have infinite amounts of money, once you take their money, it's just fucking gone. Assuming they don't just leave.
And then there's Hillary Clinton. Hillary "literally lies about everything under the sun" Clinton. Hillary
"black kids are super-predators" Clinton. Hillary
"I'm against investment banks just like Bernie" Clinton. Hilarious Hillary. Hitlery. Hillary Cunton. Whatever you want to call her, she's
just as fucking bad as Trump is. Hell, probably worse, because she's come out as pro-censorship in the past, and she would happily betray any value to whoever paid her top dollar. Trump's voter base is frightening, but so is Clinton's voter base. There are people voting for her simply because she has a vagina and hopes she'll harm the white male menace.
And if we're going to hold people accountable for the actions of their voter base, y'all realize the KKK supported
both of them for president, right?
Is Trump is a good person? Probably not, but then, you've had worse people for president, and the people he's running against are just as fucking insane as he is.
As for the Hitler comparisons, yes, it's funny, invoking Godwin's law, and thinking you're clever, but, please, unless you're joking, you should stop. As someone who has studied history, what he's doing has little to do with the rise of Hitler. In case you haven't noticed, when Trump beats someone out of the Republican race, he usually takes a moment to stop with his attacks and send praises and well wishes their way. Which makes sense, given his history. He used to star in a several year long reality television show where his entire job
was to be an asshole to people, essentially. He's using what he knows from reality TV to stir people to his side and shoot holes in the credibility of his opponents. There's no real or serious sign that he's out to create the dictatorship of Trump. First, he's not that competent. Second, the people he's surrounded himself with are equally not that competent, most are just stooges and cronies for whatever his ambitions lay. Third, I'm not sure you understand the power of your congress and the supreme justices to cock block the president. Even the prime minister of Canada technically has more power over their country than the president of the United States has over theirs. Fourth, and this is really the key, if he completely fucks up at his job and does things even the Republicans believe to be too far, he can be easily impeached and knocked out of office. Or, at the very least, threatened with it to put him in line. Fifth, he hasn't created a private army of
paramilitary pseudo-soldiers to do his bidding. (No, really, look it up. If you seriously think it's the same as the raving racists who hate muslims and support Trump, you're a fucking idiot.) Sixth, he has made no death threats or implications thereof toward any of his competitors in any of his statements. He's more like the schoolyard bully than a violent concentration camp creating dictator. Seventh, he's made no implication of dismantling democracy, or increasing presidential powers. Eighth, he's at no point vowed to imprison or limit the rights of any minority group currently in America. No, not even the Muslims. He does want to limit immigration, but that's not a new fucking stance by the Republican party, and pretending it is is stupid. He's just the only one honest enough to admit
what kinds of people he doesn't want in the country.
Again, I'm not really a fan of Trump. I'd think I'd rather shoot myself in the knee than vote for the crotchety bastard, but then, I wouldn't want to vote for the servile cunt that is Hillary Clinton either. I'd
maybe support Bernie? But he's kind of fucked now. Even if he wins every single primary from here on out, Hillary will still probably get enough candidates to take the nomination thanks to how the broken superdelegate system works.
Yet, pretending that either candidate is going to ruin your country is fucking stupid. Hillary is a lying sack of shit who will serve the interests of investment bankers and Wall Street, and who will make (hopefully) empty promises to her progressive voting bloc to try and keep them for a second term election. Trump is a shit disturber who bullies people to get his way and yet is beholden primarily to his own interests, which seem to be basically just ego.
Trump is an evil I know and an evil that can be easily kept in check.
Hillary is an evil that could do actual further damage to your system, because investment banks can just buy her to support any bill they want for four years.
And yet either of them is still not as bad as Andrew "I'm going to murder someone in a duel just because I don't like him" Jackson. So would you all stop swearing you'll move to Canada when we all know you fucking won't? Because this happened with the Bush Jr elections and Obama elections too, people promising the complete destruction of the nation and swearing up and down that they would lose all their civil rights and that they had to run to another country. Never fuckin' happened. Still not happening.
Now relax. Go drink some tea, enjoy the sunrise. Your political system is a joke but it has been for decades, so getting outraged over it now isn't going to solve anything.
