    Godawful logic.

    On so many levels.
  2. Honestly, protest if you want to -- but Trump won.

    That is not going to change.
  3. What angers me is that it shows hypocrisy can't tell the difference between left or right, and it hides itself in all of us. We are a nation of hypocrites. I don't care about the protesting. It's their right. But when you act like you claim the people you point your fingers at act, then what does that make you? If those people are so bad, and you act like them, what does that make you? I don't see love trumping anything in this picture.

    Go back to class. Read up. You may not like the system, but it is what is. Hillary will tell you the same thing. Wanna change it? Write letters. Get into politics. Become a lawyer and run for the Senate... Vision over visibility. Be yourself. Be strong. Don't beLIEve everything your friends tell you. Your parents (yes, they should get the free tuition, not you) are paying those professors filling your heads. Challenge them. Make them tell you why you should, not what you should...

    (Disclaimer, as they seem more and more necessary these days... This is a blanket statement to a good number, not necessarily all, of the snot-nosed, entitled students that are out there for the sake of being part of something, and only that faction)

    * Also based on what I've watched and interviews I've seen on my local news in my region.

    Geez. Why can't I stay the fuck out of this thread, for my blood pressure's sake?
  4. This thread will probably go the way of the previous Politics topics. Just a matter of time, I think.
  6. PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — From New York to Illinois to California, in red states as well as blue, protesters decrying Donald Trump's election spent another night overtaking highways, smashing store windows, igniting fires and in at least one city, facing pepper spray and rubber projectiles from police trying to clear the streets.

    yes! what better way to have your voice heard than crippling your own communities! what better way to get me to see your point... block me from getting home after a long day being a productive member of society... let mother nature hear your voice! unleash smoke and soot into her skies! Where do the ignorant Trump people end and the ignorant Hillary people begin? It's all blending into one to me...
  7. and it is a shame that the extreme few on either side get such a spotlight that they are portayed as the stars of the show. as the moral majority...

    If there's an order in all of this disorder
    Is it like a tape recorder?
    Can we rewind it just once more?
  8. What I find bizarre is the lack of focus on specific policies in US elections. Trump was bad but by no means the only guilty party. It's impossible to tell what his presidency is going to be like because he hasn't committed to a whole lot, and what he has committed to (expelling immigrants, the border wall, and limiting the number of Islamic people entering the country) seems unfeasible.

    What he has committed to though, are tax cuts 75% of which will only affect the wealthiest 1%, 25% of which will go to the top 0.1%. That's shocking.
  9. The bipartisan politics is becoming far too polarised. Whether you agree with what he's done, the changes Obama's brought in his 8 years as PoTUS are about to be undone by Trump. Equally, whenever the next Democrat is elected, they'll likely reverse the measures he takes whilst in office. This swinging of policies every few years is not to the US's benefit.

    Someone here complained that the election was damaged by having other candidates who took voters away from Hillary, but this surely demonstrates the problems with a two party system. Gary Johnson and Jill Stein should have been afforded more air time.

    That tends to be the cycle. My gut here tells me Trump will end up making more friends across party lines than he does on his own side, which could lead to things actually getting done.
