"Trump confronts protester in strange encounter"

[kane_magus]

More bullshit from Donald Trump.

Trump confronted a guy wearing a "KKK Endorses Trump" t-shirt.

Trump: "You see? In the good old days, law enforcement acted a lot quicker than this. A lot quicker."

Um, what law was the guy breaking such that law enforcement even needed to act at all, you asinine shit-for-brains? Wearing a t-shirt that you don't like isn't against the law, you fucking mong.

Trump: "In the good old days, they'd rip him out of that seat so fast, but today everybody is politically correct. Our country's going to hell for being politically correct."

How's this for politically correct, Mr. Donald Jackass Trump: Fuck you. Fuck you hard, in your bloated asshole, with a dried up corn cob. Fuck you, and all of your supporters, and everything you stand for. Fuck off and die, Mr. Trump, and the sooner the better.

Seriously, once again, this is the man who is currently in the lead for the GOP nomination for the office of President of the United States of America. It cannot be emphasized enough how tragic and terrifying that is.

I'm not reading much about the Trump thing, but I've told people I'm going to be the first non-American to bet Trump's gonna be president. I'm not sure if it's Americans giving Trump too much 'face', so to speak.

I'm of two minds about it. I fear he'll win (worst outcome), but my hope is that his nomination would be the very thing that guarantees that Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders will win (best outcome). It's one of those "hope for the best, but prepare for the worst" sort of things. Good or bad, though, unless something drastically changes between now and Super Tuesday (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Tuesday), I think it's a pretty foregone conclusion that Trump will become the Republican nominee, at the very least, and even that is terrible enough. The fact that Trump and other guys like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio didn't get weeded out almost immediately just goes to show how very, incredibly fucked up the modern day GOP is.[1]

With that said, assuming Trump does get the GOP nomination, I think the only way he'll win the actual presidency is if the American electorate is as typically lazy as they are most any other year (which usually means it's mostly just the crazy wingnuts who are the ones actually bothering to go out and vote), combined with too many people voting for Trump "ironically" (https://www.google.com/search?q=vote+for+trump+ironically+OR+hipster) (which I've actually seen a scary number of people online claiming they're going to do, though I hope they come to their goddamn senses before it's too late). So, my hope is that Trump pisses off enough people with his increasingly asinine antics so that they'll go vote against him (even if they otherwise wouldn't want to vote for Hillary or Bernie), and that all of the people claiming to want to vote for him "ironically" or "for teh lulz" or because they "want to watch the world burn" or whatever dumbass reasons will either 1) stop being such colossal idiots or else 2) drop dead of some withering disease before they can make it to the voting booths. After all, in the end, there's no difference between an "ironic" vote for Trump and a real vote for Trump.

It's my real hope that the main reason Trump is even as ostensibly popular as he is in the first place is due mostly to people just straight up trolling the ones taking the polls asking who they'd vote for, and when it comes time for everyone in America to get down to the actual serious business of electing a president, Trump will be demolished completely.

[1] - Thing is, though, if Trump doesn't become the nominee, that means that one of those other guys like Cruz or Rubio might indeed actually have a real shot at becoming President, by simple virtue of not being Donald Trump. And one of those guys becoming President could arguably be even worse than Trump himself winning, though it's difficult to imagine how that could be.

Irony votes sound quite like spoiled votes, except the irony votes actually count. Over here due to both sides having being really, really crap, people go in and spoil their votes. Ultimately the only thing that comes out of it is that there's a counter pointing out how many spoiled votes were there, and someone is still elected from the unspoiled votes.

I've also sort of noticed Americans really love their attention-grabbing showboaters, and Trump is the biggest showboater of all. Makes

Spoiled votes seem more similar to the "hanging chad" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad_%28paper%29#History) crap that ruined the 2000 US Presidential election (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2000), which ended up with George W. Bush appointed as President by the SCOTUS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush_v._Gore), i.e. votes considered invalid for whatever (often flimsy) reason, though I have to admit that I hadn't heard of people spoiling their votes intentionally (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoilt_vote#Intentional_spoiling) before.

Irony votes, on the other hand, are perfectly valid votes. There's nothing wrong with the votes themselves, per se. It's more that there's something wrong with the voter who is casting the vote, in that case. ¬_¬

And yeah, people in America tend to love (or love to hate) blowhard assholes like Trump. It's why "reality" TV shows like Duck Dynasty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_Dynasty) or Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_Comes_Honey_Boo_Boo) or any number of other similar shows (including, of course, Trump's own (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Apprentice_%28U.S._TV_series%29)) are so popular. People apparently just love to watch a loudmouth jackass do his thing on TV. It's also why Donald Trump was apparently such a big hit in the WWE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVxVDDYwNvU) a few years ago (and why the WWE in general is still popular, for that matter). Go figure. I just hope that, despite how ostensibly "entertaining" Trump may be[1], people will come to their senses by November and it's time to actually cast their final vote.

Still, that doesn't account for all the racist shitbags out there (who I've noticed really like to call people (https://twitter.com/search?q=trump%20cucks&f=tweets) "cucks" (https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+%22cucks%22) ...apparently, it's a Thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuckservative) now?) who actually, genuinely support the guy and think he's truly a good candidate, though. There is no hope for those retards, and never has been.

In any case, though, it's looking more and more like Donald Trump will indeed be the Republican nominee (with most likely Hillary Clinton on the Democrat side).

[1] - For the record, I find the man to be annoying, frustrating and enraging, to put it mildly, but not remotely, in any way, actually entertaining, and the sooner he is out of the news altogether, for good, the happier I'll be. I don't even find Trump entertaining in the same way I found similar blowhard assholes like Jack Thompson (http://kane-magus.livejournal.com/tag/jack%20thompson) entertaining. Thompson, at least, was never close to having anything even remotely resembling real power, the way Trump would if he became POTUS.
