He's such a buffoon. It's almost unbelievable that this man could be elected president in 2 months...

His son came out with a gem too. Decided it was a good idea to compare Syrian refugees to a bowl of skittles with some poisonous ones it. :sergio:

Trump basically has a personality cult, the likes of which have not been seen in quite some time in the first world. He can basically do or say anything he wants without consequence.

I mean the man even acknowledged it himself back during the primaries when he said "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters."

And the saddest part is that he's probably right.

His core base will probably love him even more if he shoots someone

Whoever wins, America is truly fucked.

I think their political system has little credibility, people are fed up and there is so much hate and disunity, oh and fear. Of course Trump will make all that even worse.

But yeah, I'm guessing bad times ahead for Merica either way.

Okay sorry, not "system" then. Just your politics
That's better. Yeah this election is stupid. Should never be possible. But media negligence, angry stupid people, and a bad crop of politicians have made it possible.

But consider this. The US is still a better place to live than like 98% of the world. So if we're this fucked up, what's that say about the rest of the world. I mean I live in Mexico and while this election is embarrassing, not fun to explain, and a little unbelievable. I still can't drink water out of the tap and can't throw my toilet paper in the toilet. Life goes on. Hierarchy the same as always.

We're going to survive 4 years of whoever wins either way, just a matter of how shitty those 4 years are. Have to see who gets elected to Congress too.
People always say we have four shitty years and they always say that we are taking the country back. But the truth is the years aren't shitty and the country was always ours.

Do you think a lot of civil unrest is unlikely?
