Lets hope so!

But headlines in the news like the one today, "Donald Trump suggested firing nuclear weapons into hurricanes to prevent them hitting the US" gives him publicity. Remember, that everybody thought he was a joke back in 2016, so lets not underestimate him (once) again.

Did you not notice the resurgence of right-wing ideology, which sprang up from... basically nothing? Do you really think it's the stroke of the "pendulum" bouncing back from the side of liberal extremists who bailed out Wall Street and begged insurance companies to let them pass legislation? What an utterly blinkered perspective. These assholes have been here the whole time. Politics is opportunism, and in this case the opportunity was a complete lack of ideological opposition. How the hell do you complain about "bankers, ceo's, and politicians" and condemn the impetus to seek an alternative in the same breath?

Centrism is extremely unpopular, and more than that, it has no mandate and no viable long-term political strategy. Those millions more who voted for Clinton in the primary absolutely do not matter.

Also Erick is a boomer. You can tell from the enormous sense of entitlement he has regarding twink private parts.

Why do you think you thought immigration was at its highest ever when it turns out the opposite is true?

Derek wrote:I'm not sure about Erick and Brenden, but I wasn't trying to hassle you when I asked that question. I actually think it's important to know. The perception is shared by many people who believe that illegal immigration is at crisis levels, which is why we shouldn't vote democrat. However, the perception is almost entirely a function of Trump's rhetoric, and like all of Trump's rhetoric, it's a blatant, cynical, destructive lie, so opposite from the truth that it begs an explanation for why anyone would receive it. I can only guess that it stems from xenophobia, or possibly a more directed prejudice.
