FUCK
Due to this election I'm entertaining the idea of mandatory voting as well as a basic literacy test on candidate policy, trivia and worldviews.It's not just President *vomit* Trump, it's that in the name of "shaking things up," America has handed complete and unchecked federal power (executive, legislative and judicial) to the most far-right, economically regressive ideologues since the Southern Democrats on the even of the Civil War.
The GOP may be an utterly divided, dysfunctional, shrinking old, white party, but they will now get to put their stamp on the U.S. (and the world) for generations.
This would seem to be the political equivalent of the Peter Principle.
A few more real potentials:What to expect?
- An even more miserable health care system (twice as expensive as the Danish.... yet we have universal health care and it actually works!)
- reproductive rights? My guess is, that free abortion and sex ed will go down the drain.
- some really asshat supreme court judges.
- rolling back the rights of minorities (who shall henceforth be called "gawdless perverts")
- isolationism: Putin, Erdogan, Assad, the Chinese and a bunch of other violent bullies are breaking out the champagne right now.
- running America like a Trump business: That means running it into the ground and fucking over the investors.
It will be ugly!
A few more real potentials:
- The reassurances that the republican party will obfuscate and obstruct Trump at every angle falls flat and they line up rank and file behind him ready to stick it to the Democrats...
- Trump elects Scalia 2.0 to the SC as he says he'll do, then another justice either retires or dies in the next 4 years which is very likely since they're all about 350 years old. So he puts Scalia 3.0 on the SC which creates a 5-4 majority for insane hyper-republican dinosaurs on the court. And just image the absolute chaos that could do. Declassifying same-sex marriage as a right would be icing on the cake...
- Mike Pence, Trump's VP pick and psycho young Earth creationist theocrat, is absolutely going to push for the further defunding of public education, introduction of 'intelligent design' into classrooms and will take measures to create a literal theocracy in the USA. Oh and, y'know, getting rid of Planned Parenthood and abortion rights.
- Trump does indeed fail to ratify the Paris agreement and instead takes steps to put the fossil fuel industry on steroids, as he also says he'll do. Thus speeding up the rate at which the climate apocalypse arrives that all our (well, not mine, but your-) kids are going to have to go through.
- He expands on Obama's precedent of removing habeas corpus and the constitutional rights of Americans regarding protection from unreasonable search & seizure of material and cruel and unusual punishment, under the same guise that Obama did, that being 'terrorism'. Except...again, on steroids.
- Despite his rhetoric he's potentially the single biggest corporate insider who will more than happily abuse his authority far more blatantly than any other president to do the bidding of his puppetmasters.
Sorry, I'm really political...
Personally I want Trump to win for genuinely no other reason than so I can watch Hillary's entitled narcissistic breakdown over being denied the presidency for the second and probably final time.
Irreverent misanthropy.Priorities.
Irreverent misanthropy.
I know it's irresponsible and petty but my standard position on most issues is "whatever, don't care".
I mean, you know, how bad could it be?
It's election day..... Fuck.
Did the US really feel the need to one-up us on Brexit?
Yes. Yes they did. Wow. Fuck. (going to watch from a safe-ish distance)
