This is just getting silly.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Calling Bill Gates, as if he owns the fucking internet. Sure he's got technical know how, but really if he was serious about this he'd talk to Tim Berners Lee.

And the Trump supporters will eat this shit up and crown the man as the next Savior of Mankind.

I like to believe that we as a people have become smarter and more educated than the common peasant 500-1000 years ago.  Sadly Trump's fans make that out to be more of a fantasy.

This is probably the only thing I really disagree about with him and the vaccinations causing autism thing, because both are fucking dumb, but at least he's an overall better choice than Shillary and Bernie "Free Shit" Sanders.

Good. 90% of the Internet websites are horrible.

So then is it wrong for me to think of Trump as an actually decent candidate.

I think it's wrong to support the racist and xenophobic rhetoric he's spewing.

This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Trump is either a double agent or literally a fascist.

I never said he was. I said he was spewing racist and xenophobic rhetoric. His supporters that cheer for the stuff he is going on about with deporting millions, building walls, and closing off the internet are idiots.

How does that make us idiots?

We need to do those things. Our country has become a big joke. Fuck illegals.

I meant the people at the rally. Just sit there and ask yourself that for a minute. Do you REALLY support deporting millions of people and building a massive wall like it'll solve everything? The government can't even get a website working for its own healthcare, what in gods name makes you think they'd be ably to rally to deport millions?

And what kind of message would that be sending to the world, rounding up people on buses and shipping them off, separating countless people from their families, and looking like something straight out of the 1930's Nazi's? No one in the Western world would support the US doing that, nor would the civilian population here.

It is one of the most un-American things you could be championing, is horribly inhumane, and just not feasible. And that's not even getting into the wall and how we'd pay to build and maintain something almost 2000 miles long. Or how we'd be the only nation (one which champions being the "free world" and pro human rights) in the entire world which closes off its borders due to a religion.

Just sit back and think about all of that for a minute. The fact you're supporting pure, uneducated, xenophobic, racist, and immoral things like this, is horribly wrong. I get you're sick of the government and current leadership running it, but that is simply not the answer.

I can't say I support this decision despite supporting Trump.

Whining about one percieved injustice or another while decrying the unenlightened untermensch who fail to see the world through your advanced eyes.
Is this serious?

Also, wikiing some big worded synonym to replace something like "inferior race" doesn't make you sound smarter.

Yeah.

Decrying one neoliberal for not being the right kind of neoliberal is absurd. Decrying any modern political movement independently of all others is absurd.

Every single decision made by government is backed up with coercion and the open threat of lethal force. All these appeals to morality and ethics reek of delusion. Donald Trump is no less morally upright than Bernie Sanders, George Bush, Pericles, or any other politician in the history of the institution of the state. Sniffing your own farts while talking about how silly those uneducated republicans are is absurd.

Trump represents a defiance of all that is sacred in modern political discourse, and for that I love the man. Trump is a caricature of the system while he himself mocks the system. Those of you circle jerking over how dumb his supporters are miss the fucking point.
You're going to have to break it down for me more.

How is someone championing building massive walls, deporting millions and separating families, and proposing a ban on an entire religious people entering a country, similar at all to anything Sanders or Bush does?

And the fact that Trump encourages hateful rhetoric to be spewed when it goes on? Either I'm missing the point you're trying to make, or it's not similar at all, because I don't understand how he's at all similar to the other modern examples you used. You sound like you're talking more from an ideological/philosophical standpoint than a practical one.
