Why do people have a dystopian outlook of a trump presidency

[Daburuetchi]

I am now concerned for my country, and Trump has nothing to do with it.

So you dont see Trump or the hightened racial tensions/protest as the inevitable result of the Southern Strategy?

[Hammer Britannia]

It is just the same thing as when Obama won, people were brainwashed into thinking that he was the Devil and so everyone was panicking about how America was doomed. Now with Trump it is the same thing, but with the political ideologies switched.

As a viable threat, yes, that is a concern. What am I referring to in my post? The idea that Socialism and Soviet ideals will save us. I will gladly point you to history where it has a more important say in the matter.

Tfw you aint a stalinist and accept the theory of state-capitalism as your lord and savior but still get the stalin treatment

Exempt Trump has publicly demonstrated the terrible things for which he is condemned.

Sort of. There's no real evidence that he's any more racist than any other seventy year old man. Or sexist for that matter. And he's probably pretty moderate on LGBT issues.
Well, unless you accept dog whistle theory, but that's nothing more than the left-wing equivalent of birthers arguing that Obama's [x] is a secret shahada intended to signal his legions of Islamist sharia law supporters, and with about as much evidence.

His own words during the primary and presidential campaigns, and his tweets are evidence.

What is a "Dystonian Outlook"?

Tfw you hand-wave every terrible statement as irony. And the irony that none of his statements are ironic.

[Elwher]

I don't know what dystonia is but if it scars it's probably best not to apply it directly to the skin.

Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder syndrome in which sustained or repetitive muscle contractions result in twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal fixed postures.

I do not know of anyone who has applied the term to any Presidency, but I would love to see just how that works.

How dare Trump make use of ironic humor! I don't find it funny! Therefore, not ironic!

It has nothing to do with whether or not I find it funny. His shitty statements were not ironic.

So i have read and some are scarred, some are happy, and some just dont give two shits about it. Then some proceed to say Trump will cause ww3 and nuclear war, and ruin some good laws passed in recent years like gay marriage. Then they dont account for congress preventing trumps big fuck ups and make sure Trump's presidency is a positive. Many things will not change and congress can stop executive orders from going into action, and with the divided GOP and the dems in congress they would have a really good chance in shooting down the insane proposals like killing families of terrorists.

So your thoughts?

Most millennial voters have only lived under Democratic presidents.

Usually Millennials are considered those who were born from the 80's to 2000. The older crop grew up with Reagan and Bush Sr. and came into adulthood under Clinton and Bush the Younger. Those born in the 90's barely remember Clinton and grew up under Bush 43 and Obama. The only people who lived under only a Democratic Presidency would be those born post-2008. Those who only remember Obama I reckon were born around '05.

I don't. But George Soros is an extremely powerful man, and he controls much of the left.

Sauces pls.

CfAP, which was led by J. Podesta for many years, is very well received among many billionaires and corporations, including Bill Gates, Citigroup, Walmart, and of course, George Soros.

Like how Trump waves and swings his hands when making a speech.

His statements during the primary are similar to a poorly phrased version of something said on the same topics by any other candidate for the presidency.

Some people fear that Trump marks the end of American democracy.

Unfortunately, he rose to power because the system worked exactly as intended. Rural America spoke, and now we can at least know that, yes, shockingly, your vote does actually matter.

The Republican hegemony in the government is unfortunate, yes.

The fact that I'm from Indiana and I get to have my garbage, white-trash state represented by a VP that thinks torturing gays is acceptable is unfortunate.

The fact that we have a bumbling caricature of our country for a president is unfortunate.

The fact that the worst aspects of American society are riding back into power on the coattails of a populist buffoon is unfortunate.

This whole thing sucks, but it's too early to say if we're going to die in nuclear hellfire, or from heart-disease or car accidents like we normally would.

That's the spirit. Greet it with the cynicism it deserves.

Because fear mongering and scare tactics are more fun than reality.

You really do hate your country, don't you? Do you have any respect for your country's heritage and culture?
