The next presidential election should be interesting..steemCreated with Sketch.

in #philosophy7 years ago

Went to Infowars for the first time in years cause I was looking for something to make a status update about and..
Couldn't really find much that interested me, one post was about how Trump flip flopped again and it was asking the question of how many more times can he do that before his supporters don't recognize him anymore...

And that's cool to see that they really are being more critical of Trump now and aren't 1000% blind faith.
BUT.. It doesn't really matter, it's too late. They already did the damage. And, I think Alex Jones knew that would happen, but he wanted to ride it as much as he could to grow his brand.
And maybe there were deeper reasons as well, maybe Alex Jones is part of the "team" so to speak and Trump was their Trump card.

To be straight fucking forward.. Even though I'm pretty much an anarchist now and don't care much about government..
The next election should be fascinating.. Assuming there is a next one, lol...
But I mean.. It seems like they were desperate with Obama and Trump and appealed to certain crowds who largely don't trust them anymore, how many more times can they do that?
Maybe once more for a woman president?
Or maybe forever cause most people are fucking morons and don't really care about what's going on, they just care about pretending to care about what's going on.

Part of me though.. Thinks.. How many more Trump cards do they have?
They tricked minorities with Obama, they tricked the anti government conspiracy theory crowd with Trump..
I think the coming years will be very important in regards to paradigm shifting.

There was a lot of people who said they didn't trust anyone but Trump that was running, now that Trump betrayed them.. What's left?
They have less and less puppets to turn to, the powers that shouldn't be keep alienating the crowds they desperately needed support from..
It reminds me of a liar who's running out of lies.. Yet, the population also often reminds me of mentally challenged children who love being lied to, so..
I dunno. I still sometimes think we could go even deeper into idiocracy and stupidity as a Nation and people..
But, part of me is hopeful that their games are running out and that something major is going to change soon. -.-

Interesting piece, to be honest with you, Trump has a lot of things I don't like but I still trust him over most of the politicians today. Probably people would say I am an idiot because his policies are affecting me directly but at least he says it to my face. I was on the Obama train but I lost faith in him as of October 2011 and I just can't touch base with him. He is a cool guy and an inspiring figure and I still love him but I can't support him. Hillary Clinton, I like the fact the she has work her ass up to ladder with the help of her husband and has accomplished a lot as a woman and has made progress and open doors for women. I love her and wish her the best but I can't vote for her. I lost complete faith in her in 2011 and when I saw the Dem elected her I said well here he is easy win for Trump. The blood of the innocent that cries out of the ground carries a lot of weight and she needs to ask for forgiveness. I am no saint but you simply cannot come on open TV and rejoice on the death of a fellow leader, especially when that was orchestrated. I am keeping my eyes on Trump, he has made one big red flag but I hope he keep an eye of a particular kingdom that he praised. As I said before the blood of the innocent that cries from the ground carries burdens that can take down any government. He must distance himself from them and keep track of his promises to the American people. Once again, there is a number of things I think he personally needs to let go and get the economy going. Its not just the Americans depending on it but the world. I have nothing against any of these leaders and I certainly wish them the best.

Would you consider yourself an average voter, previously or today?
I honestly have no clue why anybody would ever consider these "people" people and believe in them for a second.

I have never voted in my entire life, and nor do I intend on voting. I was just saying, given whats on the table, then that's the direction I would head. Personally we need more love, forgiveness and unity in today's world. Politicians and the system continue to fail us and that's why I don't want my hands involve in the bloodshed

Civic responsibility and education has failed miserably in our country.

Or they did exactly what they were designed to, keep people just stupid enough to make the whole corrupt system work in the first place.

They'll either switch it to someone like bernie, then ensure he's thoroughly bought out, or they'll throw it into open-air fascism with a new big war.

Regardless, once again the only group that was completely right in this election was the far-left.
Libertarians and "an"caps thought trump was acceptable and might help out and bring things back, at least in general.
Us dirty commies and true anarchists accepted nothing and had #Lit party in the street, recruited for the cause, and openly trashed all potential candidates.

Look who was right again, just like we were eight years ago, and every election before that.
Time to stop picking corporate elites and their puppets and kill them off, friends. No matter if you're a delusional "an"cap or a commie too, we both know there's no other way to end their tyranny. Put your Nappy nap nap down and join in the good fight.

What did you think of bernie sanders? I didn't look into him too deeply but he seemed pretty decent, far better than trump or hillary

I liked him more than Trump and Hillary as well, but.. Bernie is basically for big government and wants to pay for everyone's stuff, that may be something you can vibe with though in my opinion I think all taxes should be voluntary, so.. When people forced more taxes in order to pay for more things.. I don't agree with that, also Bernie was in support of Israel's foreign policy against the Palestinians which I also very much disagree with.. Unfortunately.. He wants the government too involved for me.. And then after the election he went and bought like a ridiculously expensive mansion.. On top of like the couple other huge properties he already has.. It just seemed kinda like he sold out. A man of the people should be fine with one regular sized house or a couple small places if they travel a lot to those places, but.. 3 huge homes? Just seems like a bit much when many people don't even have a home.
