First you mention he won't be powerful enough to change anything meaningful because the government is bigger than one person then you close by saying you fear a Trump presidency because he will cause massive damage. Which is it?
Talk about flip flopping....
If Trump isn't able to change things it will be because the establishment parties in congress are jamming him up and the next move will be to vote those clowns out as well.
The power players don't want Trump to win. It's been an all out attack by big pockets since the very beginning. Look at people like Jeff Bezos who owns Amazon.com He's been having his news company WashingtonPost slam Trump all day every day.
Theories? History is replete with them because much of what was "theory" at the time was eventually validated with primary sources. I know this because I spent years earning a Bachelors in History from UCLA, when I should've just went and got an MBA.
But back on topic, I never said Trump would cause massive damage. If you actually want to parse through the subtext of what I wrote I said he won't have the ability or power to do so. But I also said if he wins, lets look at some immediate and short term possibilities....
Riots in the streets- I can see that
Economic embargoes- yes....but protectionism never works and won't in a global economy.
War- pick an enemy...Can happen under any regime.
What really needs to happen, is a real Corporate tax holiday IF that money saved is used for multinational corps to invest in factories and jobs HERE, not in Asia, not latin America, not Antartica {hyperbole} but HERE.
If people want "Change to believe in" Or to "Make America great again"
Get the fck off your phones and social media and coalesce and speak with your voices and wallets.
If there was a repatriation holiday at a 10% tax rate instead of35% companies could potently invest over a 100 billion dollars in manufacturing here. We were at our best when the middle class thrived with good jobs that had benefits and one parent could stay at home. Now you have both parents working shyt jobs for shyt pay barely getting by.
I thought Obama was going to FUBAR the country and he did a pretty good job, but he couldn't accomplish everything he wanted to in 8 years.
The loss of freedom, economic prosperity, upward mobility that takes time. It has to be incremental otherwise the unwashed masses might actually notice and try to do something.
Honestly buddy and I say this with all due respect, walk away. You're fighting a battle you won't win, this board is filled with liberals, the mods have their back and you'll eventually say something deemed 'ban worthy.'
Any veteran of this board will tell you, I used to waste countless hours discussing then arguing with them and usually I'd be attacked by 3 to 5 people at a time and I still gave them fits.
That was back when I had too much money and time on my hands.
Like I said, I've never voted, never will, was raised conservative and still lean that way but I just don't give a shht about any of this anymore. It's like watching WWE, it's all a show and we're the ones paying for it.
At the end of the day, if it's life or death and I have to choose, I'm always going to vote for who keeps their hands off my wallet the most. End of discussion.
Trust but verify.
