But voting for Trump just to spite Clinton was a stupid move. Especially since it seems like you hate him more than Hillary.

Again, that will come. How many on the American right supported those armed squatters who took over federal land a few years ago?

I think the non-American meme is that we are in a state of total chaos and violence because you can buy guns at Walmart.

Again, a part of the greater picture, but not just.

Also that the military had more control over the civil government, which was slowly ceded away to a civilian government after years of pressure and insurgency.

The civilian government is currently a puppet of the military. Hell the military has permanent seats in their legislative branch.

I honestly think the American military would do a better job. Is Mattis not the best Secretary in the current government?

Just making sure. Restricting the right to vote is just really stupid, and everyone should be automatically registered once they reach a certain age.

Other countries have automatic registration. When you turn into an adult.

But other countries actually want their citizens to vote.

They had to build up the military first before they could even hope to fight Nazi Germany.
And is there any actual proof Stalin didn't expect Hitler to invade? Because I'm pretty sure they hated each other and the reason he signed that deal with Hitler when Germany invaded Poland was to build up the Russian military.
