    I fucking love these videos. Can't wait for the Trumpian compilation as he's disgraced out of his post.

    #WalkAway
    The first straw was in 2016, after Trump won the election. I remember so many people around my campus having literal public meltdowns and panic attacks. People freaked out like the world was somehow ending. Protest were happening, shouting "Not My President". And I remember thinking, "weren't Democrats pestering Trump about whether he would accept the results of the election just a few weeks ago?"

    The second straw came from Sarah Jeong's tweets. The double standard became clear; it's only okay to fire someone for tweets/post made years ago, so long as it's white people racists towards other races. But if you're asian and doing it to white people, the media will defend you.

    The third straw was this winter, when Donald Trump ordered the withdrawal of troops in Syria, and removal of troops in Afghanistan. I remember hearing the news and thinking "Finally, the wars in the middle east might actually be ending, this is good news!" But what happened instead? People who years ago screamed at Bush for being a warmonger and the USA #worldpolice now were mad that we were leaving? What the actual fuck I thought Dems were anti-war?

    But strangely, none of those things broke the status quo in my head. Not even when the MAGA kid was proven to be innocent. I continued to give the media and leftist the benefit of the doubt. Until yesterday.

    Holy actual fuck. 2 YEARS OF HYPING UP RUSSIA/TRUMP SCANDAL. Two years of non-stop media coverage of ""collusion"", or Mueller, of interference. Two years of lack of focus on anything else but Trump's imminent impeachment and shoutings to see Muellers and report and it turns out...it's nothing..

    I mean what the actual fuckity fuck. The media actually is fake. It really is. They're not reporting shit they're literally propaganda machines, meant to stir your emotions to get views. Fox, CNN, MSNBC, all of it. What an actual fucking joke I'm so pissed.

    And you would think after such a humiliating defeat the Left would wake up and realize they have been utterly and completely duked like I was. That they have become the very ignorant, reactive, cultish fools they accuse the right of being. But no, what is the problem now?

    It's the electoral college

    It's conservatives

    It's Bernie supporters

    It's Russian Propaganda Bots

    It's white people

    It's boomers.

    No. No no no no no no. NO. It fucking isn't.

    It's you.

    Holy shit. I can't believe it took me this long god damn. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. But I'm going to make sure he gets reelected in 2020. I hope you all don't mind if a gay college student in Oregon helps to #MAGA. I'm so sick of all this shit.

  4. Just shows the media was as ignorant of the political climate in the U.S. as the majority of people out there. One probably could not have easily predicted Trump winning, but when he did it was pretty easy to understand why...

    I don't think you'll find them. When conservatives lose, they tend to go out quietly and drink. There are exceptions, of course, but you won't see conservatives do this:

    I'm sure there will be angry rants from folks like Sean Hannity, though. However, can you imagine the level of lunacy if Trump wins again?? Holy shit, run for the hills as the shrieking will be one for the millennia. Liberals heads will explode. I mean literally. Grey matter everywhere. I don't think I'm going to vote Trump, but it would be worth seeing him win just for that.

    Eh, there was plenty of whining, but you're right, people who still think their vote matters and determines the winner are likelier to be outraged. When Trump loses by a wider popular margin in 2020 but somehow scores a win in the electoral, yup it's gonna get ugly.

    Uglier.

    But these people would do with taking a civics class and perhaps a refresher on why the Electoral College was put in effect in the first place. And maybe a follow up course on the difference between a Democracy and a Constitutional Republic.

  8. Gray matter? That's for smart people.

    Don't you mean "brown matter"?

    And yes, I do want to see Trump win again so I can watch the Lefties melt down. :)

  9. A thousand times I've admired and marveled at what the genius Founders did for us.

    Unfortunately greed and power-lust are pissing it all away. :(

  10. When George Washington left office after his 2d term he wrote a Farewell Address where he warned all about future risks from various potential issues in the functioning of the federal government and most of it has come to fruition. He was the first and last not fully partisan President and his words still ring true today....
