The Donald

Then let them be? I never had any expectations of this. Doesn't concern me.




Let me make this clear for you. I support Trump for his ostentatious attitude and what he inspires. I do not care about his business. I do not care about his treatment of women, his racist comments, his whatever else anymore. I do not support most of his policies. I do not support his views on climate change.

He is different than what we've had. He has challenged what we know, or thought we know. He has challenged our pop/common culture, our media and our political establishment. He has single-highhandedly displayed many of the core problems with this countries political structure and pop/common culture, and this is what America country needs. A leader that can challenge us so that someday we can realize the mistakes we made and continue to make, so that someday this country really will be "great". Maybe not during his presidency, but someday his attitude and way of challenging everyone will pave the way for a better future, and this I do support.

This challenge is something Bill Clinton Inc would not have been able to do. America country would have just been more of the same. We would have never been fully aware of what needed to be changed and how to improve. Now everyone's eyes are open.




Okay. Let me ask you this - If everyone is equal, then why do people constantly keep demanding transgendered bathrooms. LGBTQ rights, black rights, etc? How can everyone be equal, but seemingly not equal?




Speech freedom is a double bladed sword. Cuts both attacker and attackee.

I would be content to sit back and watch Trump fuck up but unfortunately this election has unleashed the Do-Nothing Congress and now they're going to be doing all the stuff they've been waiting to do. Combined with some things that Trump himself plans to do, things are going to get very ugly. But that's exactly what the Trump Trolls wanted. I realize not every person who voted for DTrump did so in a spirit of hate - I have sympathy and concern only for the ones who sincerely believe this idiot can make their lives better.

Two articles I found about the electoral college -

Abolish the Electoral College

Getting Rid of the Electoral College? Dream on, Democrats.

I just got an email from National Popular Vote - I'd forgotten I was on their email list.
Here is a link to tell your state legislator (anyone on here who is a US citizen that is) to pass National Popular Vote. It won't get rid of the electoral college, but it will get rid of winner-take-all and the electoral votes would awarded proportionately.

Doesn't that just undermine the entire democracy?

I find it funny Hilary said in debate that Trump was "talking-down (read: undermining) our democracy" and yet here her supporters are trying to help her accomplish such task. Why it is so difficult for people to just accept that Hilary conceded and Trump won? And most importantly, why you people focus on the negative of this instead of trying to find the positive(s) in this situation?

No wonder people are rioting in streets instead do something more productive with their time when they become fearful of what they can lose instead of embracing what they could potentially gain because they're mind so focused on the negative(s). Bad hombres indeed.

Speaking of undermining democracy, the US has always had a peaceful transfer of power from one President to the next. I guess Trump is the first one ever who stated before the election that his victory was the only outcome that he would accept - that if he lost, the election was rigged.

This has nothing to do with American or European democracy, but with democracy at all. Democracy has some basic things and the American ''democracy'' doesn't have them, the same flaws already existed for centuries. I absolutely don't see the link with the flaws in the American political system and the last decades, because the issues already existed.

For your information, ''European democracy'' doesn't exist. There is not even a common system for the European Parliament. We have a proportional system. The UK districts system with the same idiotic winner takes it all system (per district) like their former colony, getting one seat with millions of votes in total (UKIP) and a few dozen as regional parties from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with no votes outside their area's. Germany has some strange mix of both systems and Belgian a proportional regional system: for the federal parliament the Flemish people can only vote for Flemish parties, the French people only for French parties, the people from Brussels can vote for both and the Germans probably for their own. That country has 6 governments in total.

Besides, democracy is an European invention....
