when i finally started to accept that maybe Hillary is good because she is strong and knows how to get things done and is pragmatic and knows how to pwn the media, it took all of 30 seconds to see that Trump does all those things too but better and even more spectacularly

Well presumably his win means that racist mole people from beneath the surface have risen up and claimed jus sanguinis citizenship. I don't want to live next to no mole man. Probably moving to Canada where the permafrost ensures that no stupid dirtback is underneath me listening to Skrewdriver or whatever.

i, the average American voter, disagree with Clinton and Trump, and find them both to advocate for policies that are against my interests.


however, if it's time to be grown up and realistic and start to think with my brain and be pragmatic, then I must ask myself, who has what it takes to be commander in chief?

Liberals begin searching outside the English language for new words to use to dismiss someone as a bigot after rendering "racist" and, later, "white nationalist" meaningless through overuse and misapplication.

perhaps then, what's needed is for the left to stop defending status quo policies and theory and get their poo poo together and start formulating their own good arguments and positions and advocating for those instead?

When has Trump ever suggested a workable policy position? Ever?

The guy says he's gonna get things done, do you think he's being dishonest? Do you REALLY want honesty to be the theme of this election? just drop it. we've got to believe what the candidates say unless they've given us reason not to

Yup. I'd been thinking this but hadn't put into words. The left, including the media, will go full retard calling everything racist and bigoted over the next 8 months until people become utterly numb to it and the words become meaningless. The echo chamber gets smaller and less influential.

Nationalist is actually the self-describing word chosen by candidates elsewhere who are against the migration of peoples. For many years, the British Nationalist Party wanted to throw out all legal Britons did not meet some silly definition of white. I think they've paired it down to "no more immigrants" in recent years.

Nationalist is a term people will begin to embrace. It will have no racial connotation, especially in multiethnic Western Hemisphere nations like the US and Brazil. Rather, it will be people taking a stand against globalism, transnational corporatism and the race to the bottom.

It's the British National Party, not the British Nationalist Party.

There's also the Scottish National Party, which is pro-immigration.

Trump will end up caving to the Republican establishment, because he's incapable of replacing them. The US turns into exactly what you'd expect if the Republican Party owned all 3 branches of government wholesale - less labor rights, no abortions, more drug war stuff, lower wages, maybe a few more crises of accountability ala Flint as any troubled/fine-but-majority-liberal-or-minority areas are run by Emergency Managers. A token wall will be constructed, but the more substantial impact against immigration won't come from that vanity project, but from actions against Sanctuary Cities.

The national debt will increase from the drop in taxation on the rich, even as government services keep getting cut in the name of austerity. But debt is only a problem when liberals are in government, for some reason, so nobody will notice.

The only wildcard is foreign policy, Trump has made overtures to Putin, but Eastern Europe has been a great ally to the US and it's bad form to betray that trust. The middle east will probably get ignored, the pivot to Asia will probably be more aggressively anti-China, but that may not be a bad thing. A war may or may not happen, I don't have a clue.

After winning over the hearts of the far right, he shows off how flexible he is, and wins the general election.
Then everyone realizes it's not in the president's power to do most of what is being talked about this election. Everyone starts bitching about how bad the president is..

Random bills get signed off or vetoed, both democrat and GOP sponsored. He's a wildcard.

Gaffes continue to get made, the president is a great source of entertainment, the rest of the world looks on and shakes their head.

Maybe some sort of trade bill happens.

Actually, the opposite - class consciousness is stifled as racial tensions get amped up. The poor whites who voted for Trump will still be poor, still living in shitboxes, and still killing themselves with drugs, but they may notice, since at least they'll have someone else to hate - and hey, they did stick to those liberals.

The more interesting question is what happens to the Democrats. We're literally one election result from the Democratic party losing everything, getting totally shut out of both legislatures, the supreme court and the executive, and massively behind on the state level thanks to gerrymandering. That's not going to happen quietly. Kind of ironic since we had a thread not so long ago about how it was the GOP that was dead.

GOP Congress blocks Trump for two years, but then he calls on his insane supporters to individually target recalcitrant Congressmen in 2018 races. Congress bends the knee and America blooms with massive public works projects. China is forced to implement labor and environmental protections in order to be allowed access to the US market. Europe flails under wave after wave of unassimilable peoples and random terrorism, but is eventually righted after agreeing to an artfully negotiated deal to merge with the United States. Jobs and MDMA return, millenials learn to shave, peace, prosperity and threesomes sweep the Western world. Eventually, immigration is opened to women and children from the Middle East. ISIS destroys itself in a squall of beardy male-on-male sexual violence.
