    This wasn't a vote for Trump. It was a vote for themselves. Worn down by decades of lies and broken promises. They are desperate for anything different. Of course, in a few years they'll realise that they've been tricked again but hopefully real change comes once people fully give up on the jokers who fuck them over every half a decade. Austerity, broken families, societal breakdown and increasing poverty wasn't going to lead to dead ends, something had to give in the end. As we saw here with Brexit, Le Pen to come in France, how Austria almost experienced. Voting numbers have been declining for decades and people are close to rock bottom, not yet, but almost. It couldn't continue forever and there could be madness to follow but out of destruction comes something new. Who knows what that is right now but it can't remain like this forever.
    Yep.

    It's the same as when my politically pushy and biased leftie economics tutor (a know-it-all twat woman of all proportions) did a dance of delight in front of the class when Blair et al won in 97.

    Little did she know then, that old Tony would roger her right up the arse. I only wish I could have seen her smug face when nothing changed, and her little labour world fell apart.

    You have to worry about what's ushered in next because the campaign and policies on display were anything but progressive.

    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

All for his own benefit and greed. So the little he’s been trusted with, he’s abused. So what more and how far will it go as President?

    Most Presidents and those in power always have to make tough calls when it comes to military action. We all know that. But the people voting for Trump, those historical Republican states, have a history of being in favour of military action and want to see a tough President in charge and that’s something Clinton has had to battle against. That perception that a woman in the war room would be a pushover. You’re forming the wrong argument. I totally understand where Kano is coming from and agree that after charade of Trump is over and he proves himself to be the typical politician and fucks over his voters, where will they go next?

    But I can’t keep going back on forth on this one. It’s a waste of time.
    Back on plot now thanks to you telling me the guy who just got elected is a self serving con artist. Oh wow! Really? I didn't know, thanks for telling me. But you also seem to be telling me Americans should have therefore voted for Bush/ Clinton/ Bush / Clinton. Sounds utterly crazy, I wonder why you would suggest something that crazy?

    If you had stuck a fiver on Leicester winning the league, UK leaving the EU and Trump becoming president, you'd have won yourself £15m.

    With due respect NQ, most American people don't give a FF about that either.

    I’m calling bullshit on this idea that American’s have somehow awoken, rejected the establishment, have voted for change, or couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a ‘career criminal’, as you put it. The battle lines drawn for the campaign should be enough evidence. They’ll fall for the same shit again just as long as the clothes are different.

    Exactly my point! Most of the red states won't a strong President that's not afraid to take military action. It's not as if Trump has been running around saying he wants peace and committed to disarming nukes.

They're going to feel this one.
    Watch out Merkel!!!!

    But I do. I'm only interested in this from my perspective. I'm very glad that for whatever reasons a vicious career criminal and war criminal failed to win the presidency and usher in another bunch of neoliberal, globalist scumbags.
