So white America is gullible as hell and completely devoid of empathy? Stop the presses.

He left The Daily Show to live on a farm in New Jersey, but since he doesn't appear in the public eye anymore (save for a few times), you could consider him non-existant, in a sense.

Yes, America should be more empathetic imo. I totally agree with you.
Sweden and other such countries are an example the USA should aspire to follow.

RIP then.
Although living on a farm does sound nice

Screw off. We voted for the greater person for the job. Stop being so damn salty.

It seems that there is a consensus within a plurality of this region that none of the candidates were worthy of the job.

Yeah, his lack of any political experience or understanding and incompetence in his own field really qualify him for the job.

Not to mention his bankruptcies, despite receiving nearly $200 million from his father

Vunayr

And yet a ridiculous percentage of Americans thought a lack of political experience and proven financial trouble qualified him to lead one of the worlds largest economies. I wouldn't be surprised to see the US fall back into the recession it had be climbing out of, among other issues.

Did Trump ever explain how he would "Make America Great Again"?

Don't really know Trumps foreign policy, but we can dream I guess. Although from what I can he was hinting at pulling out of various alliances in the region which would destabilise it... Hey, he's shown no warning of ditching ANZUS so that's a plus for me at least...

This is why I have no intention to touch contemporary politics with a 10 foot stick. It's become way too much about personal conflict/societal narrative, way to much about a polarised us vs them and just drifting further and further from my ideal of a focus on policy, legitimate public debate from all sides/opinions and a rejection of dogmatic Ideological followings...

Don't worry guys he's GONNA MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From my understanding the answer to that question is sorta not really.
He promised to
-Double GDP growth
-Restore "millions of jobs"
-Fix the apparently broken US military
-Take care of those who have been forgotten
-Fix US infrastructure
-Slash Taxes both corporate and personal
and impose a 45% tariff on China, 35% on Mexico, deconstruct NAFTA and build a wall around the Mexican border.
How he's gonna pull of all of that simultaneously I do not know, although I do know a lot of the methods would be mutually exclusive or lead to the US's debt exploding to hell and back. Basically it's either gonna end real well(unlikely), he was bullshitting about most it(would be my bet) and he's only gonna try and do one of the above at the expense of the others(reallocation of resources) or he's gonna try and it blows up in his face(idk, maybe).

Oh yea, I forgot
-Maintain great relations with "everyone who's willing"
-Buddy up to Russia
-Make unspecified countries "pay" for US protection
-Withdraw US from the Paris agreement and effectively kill the TPP(although that was gonna happen with either candidate(although as I said, you don't know. Lying has become a legitimate political method in elections...
-Set up a prosecutor for Clinton(this I really doubt, would both drain political resources and time+be a small and ineffectual thing... My guess would be it was more so trying to focalise the debate on hating Clinton rather than liking him).
-Oh yea, I think their was something about being energy self-reliant as well, not 100%

So when's Hillary set to go to prison, anyway?

Sunthreit wrote:So when's Hillary set to go to prison, anyway?

I doubt.

FBI investigation that got started just before election didn't find anything and was closed(about a day before but everyone was probs too hyped too notice...).
The prosecution that Trump promised would take up far too political capital to be worth what little he could gain from it+from what I can tell he's trying to position himself as a gracious winner and would thus be inclined to not be too much of an arse against his competitor. I have a feeling the threat was(as I've said) more so to focalise the debate around everything bad about Hilary and appease his supporters.

Although idk, Trumps an outsider he could end up doing anything.

For real though, why is the most consistent component of alt-right ideologies an insistence on talking like a Saturday morning cartoon villain? More than anything else it's absurd.

But you're right, anyone with half an ounce of sense is pretty concerned.

From what I can find, Trump's economic plans will increase the debt rather significantly, something I'm sure no one wants. Not to mention Pence's stances on gay marriage and the Patriot act. And his apparent dislike of separating church and state, something expressly stated in the constitution. Oh, and don't forget the fact that they will both do absolutely nothing about global warming, arguably the biggest threat to the world today.

Add that to a Republican Senate and House and we'll lose 20 years of progess.
