US General Election Megathread: Trump vs Clinton

[Galloism]

I would like to see a Trump victory. America needs it.

Did we do something wrong we need to be punished for?

Is this like a spanking?

He will lead America to greatness.

Maybe if one measures greatness by comedy value.

Trump and his supporters mistake posturing for greatness, bullying for power, and bravado for strength.

It is a very shallow, thuggish concept of greatness.

The election that guarentees we will all die in 2077 from atomic hellfife.

Trump bullied Jeb into oblivion.

I still remember how he bought his campaign site because he didn't pay for it, man knows no chill.

No

No

I'm still wondering what we did collectively as Americans to offend him so much.

[Ostroeuropa]

No

A nationalist USA will be better for the global economy, since it will allow other western nations to turn to Nationalism. We can finally see the back of the globalist elites and megacorporations.

No

Doesn't really do it justice.

More like "NOOOOOOOOO! Oh Merciful God, NOOOOOO!"

Nationalism has been the cause of so much pointless war, hate, and division. And in a world of mass communication and transport, isolationism is even more a fantasy than it ever was. You can't even pretend to disconnect from the rest of the world without pulling a Kim Jong Un.

Western democracies will not go to war with eachother over nationalist bullshit. It's absurd to suggest they might. Our culture and kinship keep us united, not merely our economy.

You know, I enjoy playing Eve Online as much as the next guy.

Not looking to make it reality.

Our culture and kinship don't even keep us united within a single nation.

We don't go to war because of the costs, not because of some /pol/ fantasy about the Western identity, which has never been peaceful with itself.

Tell me how less global trade is a good idea.

Ah, so we'll just go to war with those dirty non-westerners/non-white people?

Also... define "western democracies". You could include Russia under that label, or you could have at one point, yet we're arguably in a second Cold War with them now.

Finally, predictions about the future have a way of being wrong, and there isn't really a single homogenous western culture, much as some bigots might like to think their is. There is a world of difference, culturally, between, say, me and George W. Bush, though we could both fit very broadly under "western democratic culture". And we're both Americans. Take someone from France or Britain, and the gap might be even bigger.

But your reference to "kinship" shows what you really mean, I dare say. Race-based "unity" against non-white people.

For the globe? It isn't.
For the west?

Because we can get a better deal on our trading.

The third world will get fucked from it, but I don't really care. If they go democratic and liberal i'll give a fuck about them, I don't see why we should fund the decline of Humanities only hope for a bright future to fund the rise of some backwards tyrannical states.

Global GDP would drop, but the west would be able to exploit tyrannies better from it instead of corporations demanding western free persons compete with what amounts to sentient objects owned by tyrants.

How am I supposed to compete with a Slave? How are any of us?

I don't think the global trade is an issue so much as our policy toward it, which is weighted for massive import without close to equal export.

No kelinfort.
"Fuck you, we have all the libraries and your leader burns books. We need to keep them open."

Why should the west make itself poorer for these people?

Translation: I've got mine, fuck dem dirty brown people. Its not even much of a translation, since you're practically throwing it out there.

Also, the fact that you describe people in third world countries as "objects"... yeah.

Oh, and not that I expect this to register, but third world and dictatorship are not synonymous terms.

Jesus, is their anything about your beliefs that isn't utterly loathsome and poisonous to human dignity and liberty?

"Fuck you, I got mine"

To be fair that has been an appealing ideal for quote a lot of history. People standing by their own versions of it. Doesn't mean it os a feasible strategy today.
