[Merged]US election stuff

[Flashman]

A man whose policies are in alignment with fascist ideals will become president.

It seems the yanks have chosen to follow Germany's footsteps of 80 years ago.

I hope I'm alone in thinking dark times ahead are now the reality.

British patriotism - Disgusting
American flag waving - Deplorable
Scottish nationalism - Wunderbar!

Scooter logic.

Comparing Trump to Adolph is daft, even if his views were comparable, he doesn't have half the ability to control and sway people. Hitler's propaganda machine, his charisma and ability to deceive let him get away with anything.

More importantly he doesn't have the power, the US constitution doesn't allow it. Can't be arsed to check but according to my financial advisor it is normal for every US president to move to the centre on attaining office.

As has been said he has more say on foreign affairs. At least he is sticking with building better relations with Russia and stopping this idiotic support for Syrian rebels, pretty sensible policies in my view. The numerous rebel groups are generally not people fighting for western style democracy. As the Iraq fiasco showed, getting rid of a dictator when there is no cohesive single opposition is only going to lead to another prolonged conflict that will kill even more people.

List of Syrian rebel groups here. Only one group seeking democracy and equality there that I can see, rest are Islamists, not as bad as ISIS but often hard line.

You cannot spend massively on infrastructure and reduce taxes.

Reagan cut taxes which resulted in increased tax revenue.

That's pretty much what I meant by greatest political con trick of the century. The non-graduate white men who saw him as their saviour, based on his 'lie for votes' rhetoric are now about to discover that the Trump they voted for is not the president they're going to get. You cannot spend massively on infrastructure and reduce taxes.

And what exactly have the liberal left done for these people?

Nicely done.

Reagan cut taxes which resulted in increased tax revenue.

A lie worthy of Trump himself. Tax revenue as a proportion of GDP fell, while the deficit tripled.
