    Ideals don’t die. The damage is done, a new host will be possessed when this one dies. If there is anything I’ve learned about history, this wound will not heal properly.

      I didn’t think so. Look at all of the wannabes that stepped up trying to be “the next Trump” during primaries. It was all a farce.

      The pendulum has swung in this direction before in the 50’s and 60’s. In some ways things are worse than those decades, but in others they’re better.

      History will definitely remember this as a dark time politically though, that’s for sure.

      That’s the scariest thing. Trump is an absolute fucking moron. We may keep him out of office but eventually another republican is gonna get elected and Trump has shown them just how far they can actually go.

      Same happened in ancient Rome. Once Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon and showed to every ambitious general that they can become dictator for life, the republic was over. It didn’t matter that he was murdered, another ambitious man took his place (Octavian).

      The forces at play didn’t go away. There’ll still be the greed of the rich, the disconnect of a large part of the population and the tendency for a theocracy. They’ll indeed manifest themselves again.

      Sucked backwards down the golden shitter on his plane, mid flight, shredded, and strewn across the Atlantic. The oil slick would be the size and shape of Florida, and the damage to sea life, severe, but I think it would be worth it for the spectacle.

    This is why I plan to get the fuck out if he wins. USA will be a fascist state during my lifetime. I’m concerned it’ll happen a lot sooner than later.

      Have a plan. I left shortly after voting him out, certain it was just the beginning of the end (…of the end of the beginning, a sad finale played off key on a broken down saloon piano on the outskirts of a forgotten ghost town. I shall never set foot in it again.)

    So Democrats will always have a fascist to run against, so they’ll never move to the left.

      Ivanka is the G in lasagna. Bitch moves in silence but with violence. Her and that husband of hers need to be watched, they’re not up to anything good.

    No matter who comes after him they won’t have his talent to whip the morons into a frenzy.
