Trump..... (The Sophistry Thread)

It's happening. Reverse evolution.



Idiocracy is a 2006 American science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and co-written by Judge and Etan Cohen. Starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, and Dax Shepard, it follows an American soldier who takes part in a classified hibernation experiment, only to be accidentally frozen for too long and awaken 500 years later in a dystopian[2] world where commercialism has run rampant, mankind has embraced anti-intellectualism, and society is devoid of such traits as intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, justice, and human rights.

Over the next five centuries, the expectations of society lead the most intelligent humans to choose not to have children while the least intelligent reproduce indiscriminately, creating generations that become increasingly dumber and more virile with each passing century.

I'm still calling it. Trump will win. Its happening all over the world, authoritarianism is rife.
I’m with you, but part of me hopes with everything he has done, all the drama and BS, the death toll and the general chaos of things that enough Americans will oh of had enough to want him out.

I mostly want him to loose to see the drama from election decided till the day he leaves office. Will be super funny.

You mean the civil war when he calls his Militia (supporters) to arms and they bunker down to defend their freedumb?

Like I said....he'll try it. The military won't back it ultimately, even though always been a right leaning entity.
If he is going to cling to it, I think it will come down to the same body that gave us Bush 2 part 1 in an Al Gore fiasco of sour grapes.

America was always built on personal power and influence, its frankly a miracle they waited this long to openly turn into a dictatorship.
It's not as grim as it was. I thought it was the beginning of the end with the Brexit vote. Trump seemed a logical progression from there, but the elevation of similar wannabe dictators (Le Pen, that bloke in Austria and a couple of other examples I'm too lazy to look up) didn't eventuate in 2017-2018.

the USA was complacent / asleep in 2016. They're not anymore - the turnout for voters for the 2018 midterms was the highest it's been for a century.

A doesn’t equal B
I can't see him mobilising the troops, but I can see him trying to supreme court challenge the election based on some long bow of perceived unconstitutional failing in the process. I doubt it would get up, but I don't think that would stop him trying. That is assuming he looses, which I hope sincerely for. But it's a wild world out there.

I hope you're right...

Thanks for clearing that up.
