I'm a marine vet, 8 years, I don't think anybody i knew would fight on 'your side' in this situation

certainly not the female marines lol

More numbers? You don't understand what I'm saying. If we are talking about repealing the 19th amendment, we are talking about a high portion of the country already supporting authoritarianism/totalitarianism
Because, how else could an openly proud fascist get to power, if majority of the people didn't support him?

I follow the alt-right drama. The race war thing would be way easier to sell than the race war+ gender war thing

which is why we saw all that static with some of the alt right ladies and the stormcels like 2 years ago

Nah you missed my point

There wouldn't be a repeal, it would require secession

Only way to get that goal is if you had secession, ther eis no way current USA is going to repeal 19th

Majority of VOTERS didnt' support trump, electoral college win, and even then, he's only a slightly more dramatic standard issue US politician

Currently no, however after the tensions rise when Trump gets impeached/loses, people will grow angry, and would want something more radical than trump. Which will resort to either a even stronger conservative, or a reactionary traditionalist

They certainly don't support him now, either

Nah, trump's main function is to be a lightning rod for tons of hate that his followers will catch. setting them up to be the baddies in the next big dust up

He's not even a conservative by any stretch of the imagination

especially with this shit going on with the Kurds in turkey, I have friends crying abotu it because they served along side the kurds

I know, but that's not what matters. people THINK he is a conservative. People view him as a conservative, but presuming they grow more angry, they will want someone more radical

DOes anybody really think though? i dunno man

I don't think people think he's a conservative, I just think they wanted somebody anti-establishment(at the beginning)

everybody could see he didn't have traditional family values, life long democrat from NYC, no military service yada yad

Trump isn't radical though, that's the problem. He didn't build the wall, etc. I would make trump look like a liberal

Trump is Obama 2.0, Hope and CHange con for rednecks. only issue is whether they can take the ego hit to admit they were wrong

Their desires also won't matter as much as the world becomes multi-polar, so even if they won domestically, they won't be able to control reality the way previous us administrations could

perfect storm for the aging boomer reactionaries

The scary people are not the angry types you are talking about, it's the super cynical types that are doing the cost-benefit analysis on trump versus whomever

GG @Sh0t, you just advanced to level 5!

Of course he's not radical. depending on what happens with the impeachment, and the election, we will probably see a reactionary who is much MUCH more radical than trump, more stricter on capitalism, and overall more authoritarian
What I am skeptical about however, Is whether or not they will get elected

🆙 | **Sentient23 leveled up!**

SInce

You don't think pendulum will swing back the other way for a turn or two?

I expect the most boring administration in history next

If trump loses, or gets impeached, and then loses 2020 if he reruns, and we get a democrat who increases immigration waves drastically, its very unlikely to see another constitutionalist/conservative elected in the next 10 years, even 20, unless they completely destroy the country with strong anti capitalist policies

Depends on which Dem. Bernie won't increase immigration that much, he cares about labor situation

If it ensures his/his parties reelection in the future, he will care

Warren is purple, so most likely status quo on that front continues, biden is a dark sider, so maybe the most with him

yea but it wont that's whole point of bernie and co. The democrats WIN when they go populist, they lose when they dont

@Sh0t that’s unlikely. We’re in the digital age, the meme age, and entertainment is what sells. Look at Trumps most liked tweets. They’re all memes or jokes

I hate the young turks, but that is one of their best analytical ideas

@Gоd that's only true for the proles

I mean how is Biden in the lead for the dems if that is true. Biden still leading atm

He's the caricature of the eact opposite of that, the guy is almost austically bad socially

Because the dem candidates are all too radical

radical? who
