oh fuck. i used to just think you were crazy assholes on the internet, but now look where we are.

wow you have fucked us something royal this time.

>>17882579
You're pretty much fucked. Best case scenario is getting fucked really hard so the people will get rid of the clown in 4 years.

Your life will be much better under Trump. You should be excited for real hope not the false hope Obama proposed.

The MSM has fear mongered the people to believe he is "literally Hitler" which is anything further than the truth. Rid yourself of your liberal bias and be optimistic about Trump truly making America great again

Trump is just another old white con man. He is not the first and he won't be the last. He told Americans what they wanted to hear and now he's using the white house to get rich, just like Bush and Cheney did with Haliburton and Clinton did with his various foundations.

The only difference is Trump isn't trained in being able to hide it.

He'll fuck shit up but no more then every congressman, senator and president has been doing before he showed up.

Whoever won the election was going to use the country for the personal gain. We were fucked either way.

>>17882767
but i'm talking about policy. we may see abortion outlawed or made legal in name only. LGBT rights already are nowhere near where they should be and now they may get worse. these things wouldn't have happened under clinton. yes she would have been in it largely for personal gain, but at least she would have continued making good changes overall.

>>17882774

that's very edgy of you but it's a pretty meaningless statement.

>>17882579
he asked for the names bc theyre not doing their job and hes going to watch them and fire them for that reason bc he doesnt like to work with them.

>>17882767
You're underestimating the people he surrounded himself with. Obviously it's all about getting the best for themselves but these guys got pretty crazy ideas beyond getting easy money and the power to implement them, which is bound to cause more damage than the usual corrupt fuck like Clinton. (Worst thing she'd do would be economic war with an irrelevant country like Russia)

Bush and Cheney didn't simply rape the economy but also worsened the whole terrorist problem for decades to come, Trump doing the same to economy is pretty much the best case scenario with a somewhat realistic potential of economic war with a superpower like China and setting civil rights back.

>>17882866
yes. this poster understands.

so what can we do to limit the damage he will do?

>>17882965
Best, if not only option seems to be finding like-minded people and organize protest when the actual legislation is revealed. Don't forget that while Trump won on electoral college, he lost the popular vote and many people who didn't vote were against him too. Even from the people who voted for him, many were either anti-system or anti-Hillary, so there should be enough people against him if he tries something too crazy.

There are different metrics of support. Trump won the vast majority of America by county. Don't expect any uprisings.

>>17883035
>by county.
Which matters on legal level but is pretty meaningless from the "support from population" point of view, at least when looking at the global scale. If you happen to live in the middle of nowhere, it's likely that finding supporters for your cause won't be too easy indeed.

Besides again, many of Trump votes were less pro Trump and his ideas and more anti-something. The amount of actual lunatics might be disappointingly high for a first world country but they are definitely a minority.

Also check the age-range, a huge part of his voter base are 65+, while these are very obedient voters, they aren't too lively.

>>17883075
I was speaking more against a revolution against Trump. For example, pretty mush all of your food comes from people who supported Trump.

What you observe about Trump voters is interesting, I live in a state that voted for Trump. When I hear Hilary supporters here say why they voted for Hilary, they are always less pro Hilary and more anti Trump.

>>17882579
women will be happier in the home.
Men will make more in the workplace.
Gays are mentally unstable anyway so nothing will change there.
Environment could be an issue, but I think the media is trying to stir the pot here.

>>17883105
Ah, I see. Yeah that true, then again all the revolution scenarios sound pretty silly either way, US of A is still far, far away from that and I doubt even 8 years of Trump going full retard would cause anything near it.

>When I hear Hilary supporters here say why they voted for Hilary, they are always less pro Hilary and more anti Trump.
Same with all my friends who voted for her too, which isn't too surprising. She was marketed as the lesser evil by most of the media too, while Bernie was the inspiring choice.

>>17882579
the ONLY reason I don't want a trump presidency is because of environmental issues. It's actually scaring the shit out of me. How does one person not think that global warming is real. Like you can't just say whoops lets try again! This is the only planet we have and when you fuck it up like this, you lose everything just fir fucking greed. That's what I fucking hate is when people fuck up other peoples lives for fucking money. It's just fucking stupid, I REALLY hope he changes his stance on the environment because we don't need a Hillary.

>>17883165
The environmental issues is also why it's hard to laugh about it all as Yuropoor. Electing a living meme stop being funny if his attitude can affect the entire world for decades to come. Though he did say that he will look over the shit again, and before all the presidency shit he was taking it serious, so I guess there is hope.

Dude. His attorney general was deemed to racist to judge...in alabama. IN ALABAMA. If you've ever been there its one of the most racist places in th u.s. You can't fight trump. You'll be deemed a liberal crybaby radical dangerous loser. Also no he's not normal, don't normalize him. Just hide until it gets better. Stay staunch in your values for what's right. Educate yourself brah. Its been proven that the majority of republican voters have lesser education than democrat voters. Look it up thats not even propaganda. As for revolution i just want pop. vote to decide our leaders. Not stupid ancient, defective electoral college In the meanwhile I'm gonna pretend I'm not gay.

>>17883182
It's an international effort and given the economic power and a massive head start, it's only natural that Murica and Yurop have to make the first move to force China into doing it too. Which worked and was agreed too but is now under threat.

>>17883193
>was deemed to racist to judge...in alabama
Gotta say, it's kinda impressive in a way. That's like being too gay for SF.

What the fuck did he even do?

>>17883182
well here is the thing, around the world there are several agreements to keep us in check with our environmental uses (e.g. the paris agreement) and even though they are corrupt as fuck and easily exploitable, at least its something. Once Trump throws that out the window, every country does, meaning China and Russia can end up even worse, therefore increasing global warming ten fucking fold.

thank god you selfish cunts have enough rights already and you are only hurting our birth rates by give you more rights. almost every country that gave women rights has low birth rates that endangering our economy and the future of the country. also men are superior to women and we should not be putting you in a pedestal. We men are in-charge and only responsible people like men should be running things not women. also I hope he takes your voting rights or make it mandatory for all women to be drafted to the military. either you earn it just like men or we can just take your power away.

I will never understand how people will honestly believe a New Yorker who called himself a Democrat to get along with all the other big money Democrats is in any way some sort of Hitler. He's not even close to that kind of upbringing. He has never fought a war. Fascists fought in wars, they saw benefit in war.

Romney was a rich Mormon candidate, I can understand how some might see him as evangelical totalitarian, but Trump? It's annoying how many kids have come out of the woodwork not knowing Trump this past year. He was about as apolitical and religion naive as it gets. Obama even says this but clearly that got silenced as it doesn't fit this cringe as fuck "narrative" of a fascist.

As far as I can tell, he's rooting out the extremists, not the poor innocent souls saving mindkind from oppression a boohooohoooo.

>>17883182
Yes, CHINA, or rather ASIA as a whole, needs to go nuclear energy. We have plenty of natural gas and coal. If trying to force ourselves into "cleaner energy" is choking us out of jobs, then we should drop it the idea. Asia is in a MUCH better place to take up nuclear energy, how about they take the mantle of clean emergy, I think they're already doing a fantastic job with their ocean of mercury leftover from solar panel manufacturing! Clean energy amirite guys?

Mussolini never fought a war and changed his rhetoric all the time too.

Obviously in actions Trump is far from Hitler for now and the entire landscape is different but his rhetoric would give Adolf and Goebbels a run for their money, even if he doesn't believe the shit he spews. Besides the rise of a complete clown, no one took serious a year ago with the power of far right populism is quite similar too. Again this doesn't make him Hitler reincarnate and it's unlikely he'll even do something extreme but denying the parallels is laughable.

>choking us out of jobs
>dead end jobs that won't exist in couple years no matter what vs the future of the planet
Nice priorities you got there.

In a way OP, I agree with the fact that if you're anti-Trump, you're pretty helpless right now. A huge number of his supporters are overtly aggressive slanderers who have only been emboldened by his victory. Mass media has made this a world where your virtual and real self are harder and harder to distinguish - Trump doesn't have the majority, but he has a minority that can scream louder than it on the internet and it seems that's all that matters in public perception. He'll get his witch hunts and if you get in his way, you'll get shouted down.

What the Left needs is the courage to fight grassroots campaigns for STATE LEGISLATURES. The Left was not collapsing when Trump was elected; it's been on a downward slide for years because WE CAN'T GET ANY FUCKING STATE LEGISLATURES. The Left has fallen into the trap of thinking that because they think the federal government should be strong that it's all that matters. But state politics are so much more important for the day to day battle to protect the equality and fight the injustice the Left is always going on about.

Republicans have 24 states in which they control the legistlatures and the governorship. Dems have 6. So these legistlatures can keep spamming anti-abortion laws, keep kicking the shit out of unions, keep passing anti-student anti-urban voting laws, keep gerrymandering. And it's been that way for a while, dominating media attention: when
dems we're having a ball over Obergefell v. Hodges, the states were already writing new legislation to get around it. That's how it works: if it wasn't, why would abortion still be a hot button topic 40 years after Roe v. Wade? Because states are fast, and SCOTUS and the fed are slow.

OP, the best you can do is not take it lying down: too many leftists are passive and cowardly compromisers, when Republicans are enthusiastic and don't care to get in your face. Stand for your political values every day. Don't back down when you're in the right!

>Mussolini never fought a war

>Mussolini was expelled from the PSI for withdrawing his support for the party's stance on neutrality in World War I. He served in the Royal Italian Army during the war until he was wounded and discharged in 1917. Mussolini denounced the PSI, his views now centering on nationalism instead of socialism, and later founded the fascist movement.

Fascism is /his/'s favorite meme, but one arguable constant of the term is that WW1 basically split the world into two camps: Those who were deathly afraid of war, and those who saw merit in it. You want to say Trump is dumb for wanting jobs here? Fine, but that's different from wanting a war economy for the nation. The guy has said he wanted nations to pay for our military favors, for fuck's sake. Parallels? Like how he is taking over our central bank, oh wait, the Fed just raised interest rates and told him to fuck off. Yeah, real holocaust going on there.

>dead end jobs
Energy is never, ever going to be "dead end". Considering we have an ample supply of coal and natural gas to the point where it is the cheaper option for us, there is no such reason not to use it.

And I guess you haven't the news!

It was a pretty short stint and he was wounded during a training exercise ... I guess it still counts but not too different from current kids getting sent to Afghanistan and spend most of the time jerking off. Besides, Mussolini was anti war not too long ago before that.

>Yeah, real holocaust going on there.
Parallels doesn't mean he's literally Hitler. The rise was similar enough, as was the rhetoric against some imaginary enemy and singling out minorities for attacks. Given that Hitler was more about his ideas and Trump is more about Trump there are enough differences too. Nuance and all.

>Energy is never, ever going to be "dead end".
With the incoming automation, the job part sure is. Many, many more will be gone too, so unless there will be some idiotic "employment for employments sake" scheme as the army already does, mass unemployment is an incoming scenario, and the focus should be on the preparations how to deal with it, not how to slow it down. Specially when the cost isn't just economic.

>Russia gold
Assuming it's not pure bullshit given the source, it doesn't do anything about the actual problem. Sure, we could cover our ships in bling bling once the Arctic ice is gone because the shit will be worthless but beyond that?

>>17883405
>The rise was similar enough, as was the rhetoric against some imaginary enemy and singling out minorities for attacks.

But that never happened. When did Trump "single out minorities" other than Islamic terrorists and illegal immigrants ?

>>17882579
I believe the board you are looking for is /pol/

>>17883471
>when did Trump single out minorities other then the two times he did
Also he went for the "ban and watch all Muslims" and used Islamic terrorism as a justification. He didn't say "don't let in people with links to terrorist and keep a watch on the ones who are already here."

When did a man with no experience in politics say similar stuff against large groups of people again? At least Trump didn't burn the white house first.

>>17883405
>With the incoming automation
This was predictable, but luckily, my favorite topic.

>mass unemployment is an incoming scenario, and the focus should be on the preparations how to deal with it
We're dealing with it now, by gutting costs and bringing in more money NOW, while it's a budding issue. You're not going to tell me we're going to be in a better place when we don't give people the chance to be in a much better economic place? Bringing in more money is only going to help any future funding, any less and it's going to be more likely that it wil be the disaster scenario you're thinking of.

And people really overestimate how fast this will be implemented. Computers are pretty damn great, but it still took alot of people to get it to consumers. There's not going to be a master machine overnight, it's going to be a process and investors are going to go through trial and errors in their respective industries. Not denying it's coming, but, come on, self driving cars and trucks are still a rare sight.

>>17882774

>we may see abortion outlawed or made legal in name only.

thats some real ignorance right there on how govt works around here.

you do understand the only thing that can go over a supreme court ruling is another supreme court ruling, right?

relax.

>>17883529
>by gutting costs and bringing in more money NOW
Couple jobs for couple years won't make a big difference, while shitting on the Paris deal will lower US international standing and do massive damage for the future of the climate. Besides, it's not like monetary costs of it are a deciding factor for automation. Raise the minimum wage to 15 bucks and most McJobs will be gone in a year. The tech is here already.

A much bigger issue is the legislature for the future (basic income) and popular perception of idiots whining about losing a job. Creating some and further pushing the "jobs are good" narrative will do nothing positive against the stance.

>self driving cars and trucks are still a rare sight.
Again, due legislature and public perception. Even the early models were better than human drivers but it's hard to deliver the "you and your job are useless, also you're a shitty driver" message, specially in the current climate.

>And people really overestimate how fast this will be implemented.
http://arstechnica.com/business/2016/12/federal-report-ai-could-threaten-up-to-47-percent-of-jobs-in-two-decades/
And 20 years seems pretty conservative estimate too that doesn't include future advancements, it's less about the tech but whether we and our legislature can adjust to the changes fast enough, and 20 years are basically nothing.

OWhat is the fucking point of worrying and putting your two cents into a situation that you aren't contributing a solution to? You ask "What can I do" but you cannot do anything and even if someone gives a suggestion about possible thing you can do, you aren't going to do it. Instead you are going to keep doing the same routine you have always done. So stop giving a shit.
