🇺🇸 💣 The US Presidential Race

‘Trump edges closer to victory’

One of the issues with insomnia is sometimes not knowing whether you’re actually asleep. Clearly this is just a dream, a scary but realistic one.

I am pretty certain that when this thread opened I said Trump as a laugh in the poll if Pap or Bletch would confirm that.

The point is, that the Chattering Classes are vocal. (eg Pap on Twitter). They explain things in that rational way and actually help reinforce staus quo, but then once every so often the PEOPLE turn round and say FUCK THIS. Nobody “SEES” it coming yet if you step back it is so obvious. Chattering Classes NEVER listen and never observe, everyone said Trump is Evil, very few asked how the hell is Trump still here and why are people supporting him. Chatterers would say they were thick or uninformed, they never listened to the REASONS. Some 50 Year Old bloke who’s Farm Factory has closed in Idaho is NOT going to retrain to be a Web Developer. Tru,mp listened to them. Gave them what they wanted to hear.

So the Media invite their chattering classes and they all show every bad part of the campaign and how evil people are, and yet in 3 elections in row now, the “Silent Majority” have come out and said fuck this.

Camoron winning again, Brexit and now USA

Point is as I have made for years, the Political System is self perpetuating and (MOST) politicians and CIvil Servants act to only avoid fucking up and keeping the status quo - ie their snout in the trough. Change never actually happens, only shit.

Trump has won, not sure how many of you are old enough to remember we HAVE been here before. The US actually elected a Republican who’s Brain was Missing, Christ, people were running to the Fall Out Shelters as the results came in. Yet he is remembered more fondly by USA than most Presidents since.

Trump is in, Good luck to him, he will need it, maybe he’ll talk to Putin and stop the slaughter in Syria and cozying up to Israel & those donators to the Clinton FOundation that so slewed the Democrat view of things.

Gonna make our Summer Meltdowns seem like a fight over Conkers.

Oh and before you say Trump won’t deliver - of COURSE he won’t. FFS ALL Politicians LIE. It’s what they do every day.

More fool you lot for thinking otherwise.

Does anybody know how to set up a baseball cap manufacturing company? I reckon if I can trademark “Make Obama President Again” I’ll make an absolute killing over the next four years…

Oh, fuck.

Right, I’m leaving the country.

Again.

What’s that?

Oh, fuck.

Just woken up and seen the news - i am vexed - my morning shit is not being ts usual calm moment of reflection

As with BREXIT - the people have responded in the way the division seekers have wanted - those such as IS have wanted nothing more than to divide; they win as fear wins and we put up more isolationist walls - the Western lurch to ‘taking my country back’ is fucking scary as its symbolic of a new culture of fear and distrust, a perfect environment to let division and intolerance fester and grow.

Before twats respond, I hope that I AM in fact just being a fuck big wet drama queen…

Did I miss anything?

It is in a way, delicious.

Hillary used her political connections to sweep all other Democratic opponents aside. Sanders would have given Trump a run for his money, perhaps even won.

Instead, her presence has been a huge factor in the success Trump has had. There’s a whole Anyone-But-Clinton camp. Massively divisive candidate and a massively self-deluding Democratic Party.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is elected president of the United States.

7:31 AM - 9 Nov 2016

President Trump :lou_facepalm_2:

Hilary must be devastated, no more bombing for her(unless she joins ISIS).

God bless America. No matter how bad things are, the one thing we can all rely on is that America can always make it worse.

Still look for the positives. We don’t look like the stupidest nation on earth anymore.

President Donald fucking fruitcake Trump.
