RE: Elections Are Rigged - Undeniable, Irresistible Proof & Truth - Part 1

in #life8 years ago

I used to like the argument that "we can trust Trump because he's self-funded, so therefore we know that he's not bought and paid for." But now I don't buy that at all, for 2 reasons:

  1. Trump has spent his entire life being "bought and paid for." He's made so many deals, paid off so many people, gotten schmoozed so many times, that we really have no idea who he owes or who owes him. But we can be absolutely sure that there are very many people out there that he owes favors to.
  2. Trump probably owes a great deal to the GOP establishment. People don't have to give him financial campaign contributions for there to be quid pro quo.

And anyway, do you really believe that Trump is anti-establishment just because he says so?

Sort:  

No, I believe Trump is anti-establishment b/c he's self funded, rich as fuck which makes it make little sense for him to be taking money to stage everything, his business has probably taken a big hit by this really, he has a history as a businesman not a politician, and maybe more importantly b/c of the sheer amount of effort both legal and especially illegal that is being done to rig the election against him. His positions are also ones that he's rather consistently held over time, shows he's not like Hillary who flip flops to whatever positions the people behind her judge needed to win. If he and Hillary were on the same side, then why would they be so desperate. The mainstream media, the main device of controlling information, is commiting reputational suicide as well as the democratic party. Maybe not the majority of people, but millions are realizing that they're being fed garbage. There'd be no need to take such losses if everything was controlled.

I have no idea what you're referencing saying Trump's been bought and paid for his whole life

Trump is less than half self-funded: see this.

I got the idea that Trump owes people favors from the fact that by his own admission, he's been wheeling and dealing his entire life. It's common sense, but of course maybe we live in a fairy land where Trump is actually clean - that will make me happy if it turns out to be true. But I don't expect to convince you; you seem like you've done a pretty good job of insulating yourself against opposing viewpoints.

B/c google search results are so trustworthy. Even if he's less than half self-funded, so what, compared to Hillary's 0% self-funded, not to mention all the other evidence that shows he's anti establishment. Ooh, la, la. It's just common sense that the lizard people rule us all. You're just insulated from opposing viewpoints. Bunch of non-arguments.

You guys just have a fucking hard on for the idea that every public figure is controlled and corrupt.

Like I said, your fairyland sounds delightful. I truly hope you're right.
