talkpoliticsThis just in: White House says Donald Trump's call for ban on all Muslims entering US disqualifes him from top job
No no no, and no. I think that's exactly the thing that qualifies him for the top job. Hell, if he somehow, by some miracle, fails to snatch the election (shit happens, you know... the Lamestream Establishment(TM) having their last say and uniting against The Maverick(TM); a smear campaign unraveling against the guy who can't be bothered by bad publicity; voter machine fraud of unprecedented proportions; Jeb Bush being, well, Jeb Bush... or the majority of the American voters *gasp* suddenly coming to their senses), he could still apply for the second-best job in the Free And Noble World: President of the European Commission! After all...
Something tells me a Trump presidency would be so lulzworthy that it'd make the Bushonian era look like a kid's game. (Not to mention it'd be sufficient reason to restore the awesome PresidentMoron.com website). Imagine this guy having the codes to the red suitcase (it's red, am I getting this right?) He won't use it anyway; he's such a pacifist, he'll just stay home while the whole world is burning. All he wants is those bad Muslims/Mexicans/gays/whatever to go whichever hellhole they bloody came from. Ubekibekistan maybe. He'll just be spending good time hugging and kissing with his idols, the leaders of Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and North Korea, whom he admires immensely. That'd be the new Axis of Good, you mark my words!
As much as I'd want you to believe otherwise, I just can't twist my soul right now, my friends. I'd've LOVED if Trump became America's next president. That'd be the ultimate source of shits'n'giggles, and a confirmation of that stubborn thought that has kept crawling at the back of my skull for, like, forever. It was something about the American voters, but I can't remember what exactly it was right now. All I know is, it wasn't a very pleasant thought. Or was it something about the current form of the democratic political system? Wait, that can't be it. America is not a democracy, remember? It's a... say it with me... Republic! Hmmm, anyway. I'm sure it'll come back to me as the general election approaches. Which is like a decade from now, from the looks of it (at least from the perspective of any normal non-US inhabitant of this chunk of space debris).
In a nutshell, people, PLEASE elect The Donald! He looks like such an honest and reasonable man. Putting him in the highest position of the most powerful and omnipresent superpower on this very planet Earth - that'd be a dream come true. I'm convinced nothing could possibly go wrong. After all, he'll have all those aides to help him navigate through the mess he'll be creating for himself - and for all of us, insatiable lulz-hunters around here!
*BA DUM TSSS*

The man is a either a complete idiot or the worst sort of demagogue. Even from my ivory tower, I can't think so badly of America that I could ever hope they would elect this chap: even for the lulz.
Maybe if the US wants to alienate not only France, but the UK too, his candidacy will be successful. But that is down to the US voters.
Is no-one going to Godwin his rhetoric?

Date: 9/12/15 15:36 (UTC)It is all beginning to make sense. The GOP has brought this upon itself with its "dogwhistle" politics. Now they really do have a problem. Having cultivated and nurtured an extreme right wing semi-fascist and racist grouping within the party, they now have to live with its untameable aspect. I'd bet some sections of the Democrats are tickled pink at this outcome: but as an outsider I regard it as dangerous.
Even pretty right-wing Brits are mostly anti-fascist. Historical accident, I suppose.

Date: 10/12/15 01:46 (UTC)Putting that in perspective, 6% of Americans think the moon landing was fake and 20% think the sun rotates around the Earth. Of course, this isn't just the US, 20% of Brits and 28% of Russians think the moon landing was fake and 15% of people world wide think the US was behind the 9/11 attacks (7% think it was Israel, about the same percent who are currently in Mr. Trump's camp).
While this may not make you think highly of people in general, or at least about one sixth of people, just remember that if ignorance is bliss, they make the world a very happy place.

I doubt whether he will get a free ride from here in.
