Will this happen if Trump wins?


If Trump wins, this is how USA history will plan out.

Funny, Trump becoming the republican candidate made me think of this film. We can only hope he don't become president.

reply

whatever made you think it hasn't happened already. Would you have spent 8 trillion on wars that nobody thinks is justified. It all comes down to voters - they just don't want to admit they are stupid.

reply

I love the 8 trillion dollar number. Must be a calculator made in fantasy land

reply

Well, they spent a trillion just on that Joint Strike Fighter, which STILL isn't in service because it's so awful.

reply

Oh, I get it. It's how u guys try to justify Obama 11 trillion unanswered debt

reply

No need to wait for Trump to win, it's already happening. All the idiots, retards, morons, and fools are at his rallies.

Trump wants to change the system. Its Hilary that wants too keep the status quo. This movie is about everyone gradually getting stupider and accepting the system. I think this movie will have a better rating 20 years from now.

reply

Trump will stick to the status quo as Shillary will.

Because Hillary is any better? You drink too much of the Koolaid if you think either one is better than the other.

reply

IF nothing else, Hillary is smarter than Trump. Deep down you know that. You hear the ridiculous things Trump says and Hillary is right. Do we really want a POTUS with such thin skin that goes ballistic over a tweet. With all the negative things said about Hillary, she has kept her composure.

reply

Why do you guys think Trump means what he says? Since when aren't politicians (or business men for that matter lying all day? Trump as well as Clinton or Bush before, all of them are just telling you whatever they think it is that gets them the most votes! He is just the first to try it with sexism and racism. Seriously, it says more about the voters than about Trump ...

Not that I am fond of him. Both parties are rotten to the core, it's just a bunch of lobbyists that make laws for the ones that pay them the most.

Since she lost the election, apparently not. Which is really sad.

We're already on the path...I think at this point it is irreversible.

Spot on, anyone who think Trump wont stop the status quo is fooling themselves. Remember, Obama wanted to do that too, change remember?

He even wrote to kasich and basically said he'd do everything and Trump will,"Make America Great again."

No, both of these people will continue the status quo, sorry.

reply

sorry that's so dumb. thats the standard lazy hipster answer. they're not the same at all, and expecting someone to change everything just by getting elected is asinine. Also, obstructionism

reply

... Remember, Obama wanted to do that too, change remember? ...

It's not Obama's fault that the Republican controlled Congress blocked pretty much everything he wanted to do - not because they really opposed everything he wanted to do but simply because they wanted him to fail. So if you want to blame someone blame the ones who are truly responsible.

The only thing I blame Obama for is not to plow through everything he wanted to do during his first two years when the Democrats had control of Congress. He wanted to play nice, but in today's Congress you can't do that anymore.

reply

I'm not a huge Obama supporter, but agree with the thrust of your post.

Having said that, even if Trump gets elected I'll be surprised if he gets any radical legislation through Congress, even if (especailly if?) the Republicans control both chambers.

I'd also be surprised if he even tried to push much more than the status quo, or what you'd expect, beyond just bluster. Put another way: He may continue to talk about it, but a wall won't get built; NAFTA won't get overturned; There won't be a huge import tax on goods from China, he won't get of Obamacare, he won't "reshore" many corporations or jobs, etc.

President Trump would be an absolute, unmitigated disaster for America. But if he wins, and on Inauguration Day gets up to the podium and just starts giving everybody the middle finger a la President Mountain Dew Camacho, I will laugh my ass off.

reply

Newsflash: He Won!
no middle finger , but much material for comics and satirists the world over ...
