  What does the rise of Donald Trump tell us about the USA?

  i thank one of my former lecturers for drawing my attention to this overview.. after some 100 years, living out its "manifest destiny" dream, as the hegemon of the world, what has this 'dream' done to/for the usa?

  the approaching presidential election provides an opportunity to examine this question.. and what of all the appendage organisations (like the wts) that rode across the world on the hegemon's coattails?.

  the answer may be here: http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11127424/trump-authoritarianism.

  I don't care how much a buffoon any of us think Trump is, if you really think he comparable to someone who had millions slaughtered, you might need to have your meds checked.

  I'm done with reading SJW rhetoric

  SCC it runs deep on here. And there is a general anti American slant to much of what goes on here. I just shake my head.

  I don't support trump in any way and just because of what the virtue signal folks think about me even asking a question I got compared to a trump supporter. I think the question was what is the answer to the recent terror escalation in Europe and I got thrown under the new Godwin's/straw man Nazi figure.. Trump!!!

  Let me message you my number and email before we both get disfellowshipped

  I get all my news from the Onion
  Trump Catches Self Briefly Believing Own Campaign Rhetoric‘Whoa, That Was Scary For A Second There,’ Says CandidateNEWS IN BRIEFApril 7, 2016VOL 52 ISSUE 13 Politics · Politicians · Election 2016 · Donald TrumpBETHPAGE, NY—Admitting that he was overcome with terror after realizing what he had done, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told reporters he caught himself briefly believing his own campaign rhetoric during a rally Wednesday night. “Oh, Jesus, for a few seconds there I actually found myself agreeing on a deep, personal level with the things I was saying—what the hell was I thinking?” said the shaken GOP frontrunner, recalling with horror that, right in the middle of his speech, he started to readily accept his vows that he would unite the country, force Mexico to finance the construction of a border wall, and eradicate ISIS. “Wow, I’m not sure how I started buying into that load of bullshit about other countries starting to respect the U.S. if I become president. That’s just so clearly ridiculous. I’ve got to be on my toes a little more and make sure this never happens again.” Trump also reportedly expressed serious concern that many of his supporters appeared to believe him when he said he would act more presidential if elected.

  I don't honestly believe they have any kind of grand scheme.

  I think its more like this when a cult/movement/idea takes on a life of its own.

  Choosing a candidate to vote for (in america) is like picking which gun you want to be shot with.

  I think the simplest explanation is trump knows his customers, and is selling them what they want to buy, and there happens to be a lot of them. I honestly in my gut don't feel even he believes half the crap he says. He wants the TV watchers and he is giving them one hell of a TV show.

  I don't understand how people stomach reality TV crappola so I don't think I could really understand why people would vote for Trump. Maybe they want a little chaos to mix things up. to "watch the show".

  Look at mississippi, the fattest, most uneducated state and they voted for a law to protect themselves from gay people... you can't control what people are willing to buy

  Darkmatter did a great job summarizing it.. much better than I can

  Can Jeffery talk God out of being an SJW, or will SJWs themselves make God realize what a carcinogenic ideology they espouse? Perhaps actions will speak louder than words. I understand that I'll probably get a lot of shit for this video, and to those of you who disagree, please try to refrain from a typical unthinking Pavlovian response to my use of the dreaded SJW "buzzword" (or "bellword" as it were). Social justice has been bastardized into the new creationism. In its name, people have been supporting unsubstantiated belief and suspicion over evidence. Concepts that were once clear and valid, like safe spaces, triggers, privilege, racism, and sexism, have had their meanings altered to the point of deception through the repeated abuse and misuse of the terminology until it succumbs to utter triviality at best, downright divisiveness at worst, and ultimately exemplifies the ironic justification of blatant bigotry through collectivist ideals that strive to supplant perceived supremacy with intentional supremacy and authoritarianism. "...but, but, but, DarkMatter, why would you be against equality?!" Yeah right. Beware of those who co-opt virtuous language to suit their nefarious deeds. Such hypocrisy is abhorrent to me, so I reserve the right to speak about it. If you care about equality, as I do, then you'll reject its misuse as a term.
  I would also caution against falling into similar tactics through the overuse/misuse of terms like "SJW" and "regressive" which are terms that can certainly be valid, but shouldn't be applied to people who do not manufacture controversy and are sincerely trying to fight actual injustices, like real racism and real sexism, with no thought of using such battles solely to elevate their status. Overusing and misapplying those terms is little different than calling everyone racist and sexist at the drop of a hat.

  And that biggest motivation of the movement (especially in these discussion board situations) is Virtue Signalling.

  I find that a little nauseating but signal away kids
