I honestly will never understand this line of thinking.
There will be no 'changing' of the system with a Trump presidency?
Are you really expecting people to take up arms and overthrow this dictator for lasting and progressive change? In 21st century America?
Because that's pure fantasy.
All that's going to happen with a Trump presidency is significant tax relief for big business, a bit of fence down south and advocation for more racist rhetoric. But no revolution.
More worryingly it will mean 2, 3 or even 4 pro-life, anti-SSM, strict constitutionalist, conservative judges on the bench, which will be there till the day they die. But still no revolution. He will just be voted out in favour of some moderate Dem and we are back where we started with probably the makings of another banking crisis on our hands and a stacked bench that will probably limit women's abortion rights.
The idea that a Bernie supporter (I'm not saying you Marvin but the #BernieOrBust crowd) could swing from a democratic socialist, one of the most left wing politicians running for office in years to
that. Just to make a point.
These people need to get their lives in order.
They aren't all bad (see Senator Pat Leahy), but we definitely have a lot of them.
