Can the Republic survive this election?

[Ulaven_Demorte]

This poll is invalid.

The Republic will survive regardless.

However there will be a fair number of TrumpsterFire supporters that may not survive the election when the reality finally dawns on them that they are indeed going the way of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Dodo.

As Robert Heinlein would say, they have bilged their final test. They have lost the women and the children. The rest of us are just waiting and watching their inevitable deaths, and with them, the death of their failed ideology.

The Republic is dead, has been for a while.

The oligarchy/socialist control freaks rule the day now and have for some time.

We just pretend it'st a republic, that freedom matters and that we live in a land of opportunity when reality couldn't be further from the truth.

I think it will happen more when/if the Trumpsters realize that he isn't actually supporting them in anything--that he's a classic example of what they think they are railing against among those grasping one percenters--that's he's just duping them and that they've been dumb sheep.

Pure grade A unadulterated bull shit and I suspect you know it.
Socialist? You need to look up the meaning of the word.
Oligarchy? Part and parcel of conservative thinking and wanting to go back to the "good old days" when the Republic was controlled completely by rich, land owning, white men.

If it's burning it all down anarchist "freedom" you prefer I suggest you move to north Africa and see how well you make out with the local warlords and all of the freedom you can hold onto with your grubby little hands.

That's assuming that he will actually get the chance to demonstrate exactly what he is. He hasn't a chance in hell in the General Election. The GOP leadership knows it, and I believe Trump does too deep down under that massive ego. There's a reason why he claimed to "love the uneducated", most con men prefer a dim mark.

Anyone who believes for a single moment that he gives even a fleeting thought about what's best for them or the United States is fucking delusional. Trump cares about one thing, Trump. They just want to be like him, their idea of the pinnacle of the American Dream.

Mostly his supporters are going to see that they are not the "silent majority" but the dying minority. The dying dregs clinging to "the good old days" that never really existed for anyone but rich, white, land owning, men.

It's not at all bullshit it's the truth.

Socialist? You need to look up the meaning of the word.

'a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.'

Which is exactly what we have become infected with a shit ton of.

LOL you're such a blindly partisan tool.

Being owned by multinational ubercorps isn't exclusively a rich, land owning, white male conservative trait.

Except I've never supported anarchy......you presumptuous (D)ick sucker.

Still more Grade A bull shit, you must have a herd.

So you can look up Socialism. nicely done. But we're nowhere near that definition here in these United States. So even knowing the definition you're sticking to your misinformed opinion.

Regulations are the cost of living in a society with other people. If you don't like regulations then head on over to North Africa bub, because they aren't going away.

why should college be free? to reward the lazy? isn't part of the goal for education is to help people become independent and have the ability to solve problems?

College is not free- it's just a matter of who is paying the bill. The education establishment, in conjunction with politicians, have sold the American people a bill of goods.

I would not want to see education reduced to vocational training, but as it is we produce hoards of uneducated college grads who excelled in drinking and having fun, but have nothing that I would recognize as an education. They have no critical thinking skills, they cannot write, but they do have a considerable sense of entitlement.

A recent example was some young man (and I use that term reservedly) who was a student at George Washington University. He was a great admirer of Hillary- he thought it would be "cool" to have a woman president, as if "coolness" was some sort of attribute for being POTUS. Apparently, integrity was not a matter he considered an important asset. When asked what her greatest achievement was, the little twerp responded, "Benghazi". Yup, Benghazi was Hillary's crowning achievement.

Many undergraduates would be better off learning real life skills and getting training in a field that interests them than in what passes for higher education in the USA today.

You must not have tried starting any sort of lucrative business lately.

Certainly not in a heavily (D) controlled state where the state arbitrarily decides who gets' to be filthy fucking rich and who gets fucked into wage slavery. Like NY or California.

So even knowing the definition you're sticking to your misinformed opinion.

It's not misinformed, you're just in denial and clearly have not tried to get into any of the industries the government has arbitrarily imposed monopolies upon to hook up/protect their big money interest.

Because if you do they will promptly SWAT team your ass and lock you up or just gun you down.

Much like Soviet Russia.

Regulations are the cost of living in a society with other people. If you don't like regulations then head on over to North Africa bub, because they aren't going away.

I agree and I didn't say nor do I claim to dislike regulation at large despite your attempts to ascribe me the anarchist position.

Like it or not the fact is that not all regulations are created equally, and regulation is not inherently good.

Jim Crow regulation for example......bad regulation...BAD government.

So are all these arbitrary "You're simply not allowed to even try to improve your economic lot in life. A licence to open your own business is for rich/connected people only!!!" regulations the (D)'s are so fond of.

He demonstrates it every day. The fact-checkers point it out every day. He, like any good con artist who has his marks by the balls even says it to their faces. Facing the camera he's said both that uneducated people are his favorite people and that he could stand on fifth avenue and murder someone and his "people" would still salivate for him.

Hillary and Obama, well they have been toxic to the younger generation. Bernie, well he's just as toxic. Not sure why these retards push out this fantasy of "free"

Hillary doesn't have the intelligence or personal skills that her husband has. Sadly, Hillary will implode just like that obama. Clearly obama doesn't have leadership skills. Obama is a spoiled bitch and its funny to watch him have baby tantrums. now sure if obama needs a tit, or a bitch slap. Obama is the perfect example to a retard being put into a job that he/she isn't qualified for ... also obama suffers from having too many 'yes' people around it. Intelligent people can easily see that obama is out of touch with reality and isn't qualified to sell girl scout cookies.

then again, obama has never had a real job.
