[FB/Politics] when you gotta school your cousin's wife on why Trump is a bad fucking idea as soon as you wake up

Princess Emily
Trump would be a great president he'll make our country great again
LOVE☆STRUCK
LIKE, SORRY CHILD BUT ACCEPTING MONEY FROM A RACIST ISNT THE SAME AS TELLING PEOPLE YOU ARE GOING TO LABEL AND DEPORT MUSLIMS IF YOU ARE PRESIDENT
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
here is my case against trump: p. much every german i've spoken to thinks he's pretty much a nazi.
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
like, he is eerily, astonishingly similar to mussolini in many ways
LOVE☆STRUCK
Oh a lot of us think he's a nazi and a facist too don't worry
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
yeah, no, i know! and i think he's a nazi
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
just that, generally germans are p. good, as a mass, at going "hey, that's a nazi"
LOVE☆STRUCK
He's basically a nazi
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
he literally hits all the points on umberto eco's fascism definition
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i saw a really good, really snappy tumblr photoset to that effect but i lost it
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
the only thing that comforts me is that he's mussolini rather than the NSDAP
You HETEROLINIS
his arc to power is eerily matching (oops) Hitler's as well
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i.e. he's stupid and a buffoon and doesn't actually know what he's doing
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
but like, honest offer: anyone who wants to flee to europe, i will do anything i can do help.
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
do = to
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
we're not much better but at least a wig possessed by mussolini's ghost isn't running for president in germany
LOVE☆STRUCK
Dude like. What I'm glad about is that social media journalism and campaigning actually seems to be having a real effect against this guy's campaign
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
yeah, me too
You HETEROLINIS
what is killing me is all the endorsements he gets from the other guys who dropped out of the race
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i don't want history to repeat itself as farce O_O
LOVE☆STRUCK
Imagine if we had facebook during Hitler's rise to power
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i mean, twitter was the deciding element in the arab spring
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
when you give people power to push back, turns out people do push back
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
e.e whyyyy does anyone support trump I legit cannot understand
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
one second!
You HETEROLINIS
what I really really hope is that people will remember to vote for the senators who are up for re-election this round too
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
yesterday I was seeing a news thing about how trump does really well with women in the polls and I was like wHY THO?????
LOVE☆STRUCK
this girl in particular is convinced he's good for trade and I'm like have you not seen the other things he is saying
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
recommended reading for everyone
LOVE☆STRUCK
like, she and my dad both (hopefully my dad has moved past this) kept trying to say he WASN'T racist bc my dad doesn't get a lot of online news
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
especially if you're going to argue with trump supporters
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
oh no :<
LOVE☆STRUCK
and if you've been paying attention to Hillary's campaign, the local media outlets have been skewing the campaigns
LOVE☆STRUCK
Trump's campaign obviously won't let his constant racist rhetoric on TV, and Hillary's will take Bernie's wins and be like A DRASTIC FAILURE FOR BERNIE'S CAMPAIGN WITH A WIN IN MASS.
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
yeah it's. awful.
LOVE☆STRUCK
like, it's dumb as hell
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i just have to believe, you know?
LOVE☆STRUCK
and NO ONE FUCKING BELIEVES ME (except my mom, now) that the internet is a good resource for information
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
that this one time, this one time, the left will prevail
You HETEROLINIS
but even if Hilary or Bernie get in, the Senate is GOP controlled and just vote for Congress too
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
YEAH
LOVE☆STRUCK
Yeah, we gotta vote for congress
LOVE☆STRUCK
I GOTTA GET MY ABSENTEE BALLOT
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
also i'm really fucking concerned because we might be moving to san francisco in a couple of years and i can't afford to like. go to an america under trump.
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
i will literally die.
LOVE☆STRUCK
all of us will
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
yeah
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
like, i don't know anyone in the USA who wouldn't actually literally be in danger of homelessness and death if trump won
You HETEROLINIS
I think if Trump wins the nomination, it might be the first time in decades my parents vote Democrat
You HETEROLINIS
I know they loathe him, which......certainly helps
sarah
That's true of all the conservatives in my family too. My uncle outright stated that if Trump is nominated, he's voting democrat
You HETEROLINIS
my dad told my grandpa that they might agree on politics for the first time in forever
grandpa was like LOVE☆STRUCK @
You HETEROLINIS
.....well ok
You HETEROLINIS
that's a shortcut I didn't know
LOVE☆STRUCK
LMFAO
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
plurk,,,
LOVE☆STRUCK
yeah my mom hates trump too so I'm glad i can count on her to vote not-trump
siwas ✨
as a German i can say that he is just like a Nazi.
You HETEROLINIS
on a slightly less horrible note, I find it funny that all the GOP runners are usually called by their last names, whereas Hilary and Bernie are called by their first
LOVE☆STRUCK
I mean y'all would be the authority on that but I can def see americans being like BAH THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
LOVE☆STRUCK
...that's true, I wonder why
You HETEROLINIS
WELL I MEAN, they both have been in politics for so long, maybe they're just on a first name basis with the whole country :X
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ : wow this was a fascinating article
⧔ мαgηυs ⧕
This is creepy and pretty scary since I'm definitely not straight. I mean, I'm white, sure...but Trump is just frightening any angle you look at him.
LOVE☆STRUCK
LMFAO THAT'S CUTE
LOVE☆STRUCK
bernie: friend of the country
⧔ мαgηυs ⧕
lol
LOVE☆STRUCK
I can't wait to be like PRESIDENT BERNIE
time stranger
i think w hillary it's to distinguish her from bill and with bernie it's bc he's been going by bernie in politics forever anyways
LOVE☆STRUCK
no one said president Barack but to be fair Obama is really fun to say
LOVE☆STRUCK
saying Barack Obama all at once is also fun
⧔ мαgηυs ⧕
It is!
Rabbit Crimes
With Hillary I'd imagine it's mostly to keep her separated from Bill in conversation
time stranger
like with jeb bush i always heard people refer to him as jeb or jeb bush
Rabbit Crimes
Got beaten to it XD
time stranger
because there's multiple bushes
You HETEROLINIS
also 'thanks barak' doesn't have the same ring as 'thanks obama'
⧔ мαgηυs ⧕
Oh Jeb. With his exclamation mark.
Rabbit Crimes
And GW Bush was/is almost always "W"/"Dubya"
LOVE☆STRUCK
TRU
LOVE☆STRUCK
also yeah I think we all just try to push the other Clinton out of our memories tho
LOVE☆STRUCK
he wasn't even the WORST he's just
LOVE☆STRUCK
eh, alright buddy
⧔ мαgηυs ⧕
Pretty much
sarah
The republicans seething hatred of him and Hillary always struck me as kind of weird, but that's about all I can say
You HETEROLINIS
preeeeeetttyyyy sure on Hilary's side it's a looooot of sexism
LOVE☆STRUCK
him as in clinton or him as in bernie
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
ps luc I googled the hillary and byrd thing bc I was curious and TRUE: Photo Shows Hillary Clinton with Former Klan Member this might be useful to link your friend?
𝖒𝖚𝖗𝖉𝖊𝖗 𝖔𝖋 𝖖𝖗𝖔𝖜𝖘
er, cousin's wife
LOVE☆STRUCK
honestly I don't know why she thinks I care about Hillary
siwas ✨
My dad calls Bernie the King of Socialists...
LOVE☆STRUCK
which would be correct if he added "democratic" right before "socialist"
siwas ✨
When he's not even reading legit news articles
LOVE☆STRUCK
the funny thing is socialism isn't even bad
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's literally just "Hey, I have a surplus of something and you have too little of something, so I'm going to give you some of my surplus without forcing you into debt"
Unpleasant Bug
haha my parents are democrats (officially) but the concept of socialism just offends them
Unpleasant Bug
because....they just don't care much about poor people or have never actually met a poor person in the US
Unpleasant Bug
but there's a lot of "taxing the rich will never work and giving handouts to lazy people is bad" from them and I wish I knew the perfect response to them while we're talking in the car
LOVE☆STRUCK
Shit, I wish I knew the answer for that too becaude the media sure likes to perpetuate that very same idea
sarah
My parents prefer Bernie to Hillary in terms of policy but aren't sure if he can get elected
You HETEROLINIS
It weirds me out how much my parents get huffy about socialism because it's like....'well isn't this the thing you told me Jesus says to do...'
LOVE☆STRUCK
That would be because Hillary's campaign is trying to keep Bernie's out of the media
sarah
And my dad described choosing between Cruz and Trump as like choosing between gonorrhea and syphilis
LOVE☆STRUCK
In places with high voter turnout, especially high youth voter turnout, Bernie is winning
Unpleasant Bug
I tried talking about politics to them, but my mom's bummed out about every candidate, and both my parents were saying how Bernie's too much of an extremist/idealist
LOVE☆STRUCK
Hillary's done some shady shit which I am sure she believes she HAS to to advance against a team of men but she has to realise that acting dishonestly against Bernie will not get her the vote
LOVE☆STRUCK
Someone should point out that Bernie's been a very successful senator and has plans all written out for his stuff. It's not all unfeasable.
Unpleasant Bug
sources and examples would be great
LOVE☆STRUCK
all of mine are on FB unfortunately
LOVE☆STRUCK
WHY IS CROSSLINKING FROM FB SO HARD
LOVE☆STRUCK
uh but try his campaign site? there's tons of infographics
LOVE☆STRUCK
also sign up for the newsletter
LOVE☆STRUCK
they release information via email almost every day
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
god bernie is not an extremist
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
but he is the best choice
❥ɳϵᴄʀσϻɑƞτιᴄ
he's the "none of us have to die" choice
LOVE☆STRUCK
HE REALLY ISNT AN EXTREMIST but America has been conservative nation for so long that we can't deal
You HETEROLINIS
Extremist would mean 'we're arresting all the bankers and doling out their money to the poor'
Bernie just wants them to PAY THEIR FUCKING TAXES
You HETEROLINIS
/Hamilton voice
sarah
Pretty much the only downside to Bernie is that if he manages to get nominated/elected, I expect the Right to be openly antisemitic.
LOVE☆STRUCK
TRU... Shit
You HETEROLINIS
well with that and how they've talked about Obama for eight years I mean
You HETEROLINIS
it's not like Trump has disavowed the KKK
