The only time I can think of an election being so disastrous that it actually shocked a country into being a better person... was... far FAR FAAAAAAR more disastrous then even I'd ever wish on someone even if I psychically knew it would lead to a better country.I'm getting the impression you're thinking of Germany here.
I don't believe he will build a wall (because that is stupid... as soon as he gets the cost estimate he will back off) AND I believe banning Islam has the constitution in the way.Trump isn't planning to "ban Islam". At first it was "ban immigration from muslim countries", which I think is actually possible due to precedence of temporarily banning immigration from I think China in the 1800s. Then he changed it to "temporary ban on immigration from muslim countries." Then "temporary ban and stricter screening and background checks." So it's not at all a policy of banning the practice of a religion, from what I can see.
I didn't see what the problem is with LGBT and Trump, aside from Pence, I guess. I don't know much about Pence. I don't think Trump has said anything bad about trans, and Trump has said that he considered gay marriage an issue to be determined by states, not the federal government. Gay people concerned about marriage could move to a state where it's allowed, or get involved in their local/state politics to change state policies, right?That reminds me of the two biggest reasons I didn't want Trump to get elected: Pence and Christie.
Considering the currently presumptive VP has stated support for plans to reducing funding for HIV research in order to fund LGBT torture camps, it's entirely too bloody understandable.What the hell, source? Never heard anything like this.
Well, here's to hoping this'll be interesting. I remember thinking everything was going to go to shit when Dubya got reelected. And, I mean, the world does seem like it's going to shit, but I think that's unrelated.The world is always going to shit. Just do the best you can for your life and hope things don't get too bad in your lifetime. I'm quickly coming to this conclusion.
Where are you guys watching live updates on this?Here's what I'm using.
On the other hand, Trump supports nuclear proliferation, which would turn a good few more countries nuclear, increasing the risk of nuclear war in South-East Asia by quite a lot.True. Nuclear weapons are supposed to be a good deterrent though, supposedly. Maybe. What other countries besides North Korea could be batshit crazy enough to seriously consider launching nukes?
At least /k/ommandos will be happy, since they will have cheap Russian guns to use in incoming nuclear apocalypse.Honestly I was thinking nuclear apocalypse would be more likely with Clinton, considering all her anti-Russia rhetoric and talking about implementing a no fly zone in Russia controlled Syria.
lol guys, it's not the end of the countryI remember when Obama won in 08 and republicans were screaming about the end of the US. This will probably be the same. Probably.
Are the DNC and GOP not the ones who put forward their 'preferred' candidates for people to vote on in the primary? that certainly is the way its worked my entire life.Did we watch the same primaries? GOP the party seemed to absolutely hate Trump. The other candidates reportedly conspired together to try to stop Trump from reaching the required delegates count. Trump was not the "preferred" candidate at all, I don't think.
Where are you getting the results from OSG? You called Florida a while before ABC called it, and PBS hasn't called it for Wisconsin yet.
Trumps probably gonna win.
It would be a miracle if he lost right now.
Proof God doesn't exist as written if he wins.
