Support NeoGAF

The hyperbole surrounding Trump makes it very clear to me that millions of people don't understand how the American political system works.

Protesting a head of state and/or a government is one of the most important democratic rights that exists. Yes, Trump will still be president after all the protesting the news 24-48 hours, but that doesn't mean people shouldn't go out and protest showing their despite and their head of state/president in the coming years.

I didn't vote for him, nor do I support him in any capacity. I promise every American here that your day to day life will change very little (if at all) as a result of his election.

You should bet your GAF account on this one bud.

I'm sure the millions about to lose their healthcare agree.

You're 18 right? Do you remember a time before the ACA was put into law? Legislation has consequences.

 

[Diablos]

I feel sick.

Is there any feeds on I heart radio or YouTube with a full livestream?

The hyperbole surrounding Trump makes it very clear to me that millions of people don't understand how the American political system works.

People are rightfully scared at the prospect of a Trump led GOP controlled Government. They can and will put through many dream projects they've been going on about for the last 8 years. These policies will do measurable harm to millions of Americans.

However, the abject hyperbole does remind one of the hysteria from the GOP after Obama was elected. Of course, social and economic progress seems firmly rooted in the ideas of liberalism so the fears are not morally equal, but it is funny to see the same kind of hyperbole from the Left side of the aisle this time.

Some people might die if their health insurance is repealed (ACA).

 

[hohoXD123]

Wow, this funeral is all over the news. RIP America.

because a good chunk of the gaf posters are healthy straight college educated white people, yes they will be mostly fine but some aren't and some of us have empathy with those that aren't.

 

[Swimmer9800]

I have enough faith in the system, that has worked for over 200 years, that it will not allow Trump to become this totalitarian dictator that everyone sees him becoming.

Oh, so you're full of shit.

 

[UberTag]

Odds he launches a nuke somewhere this week, just for shits and giggles?

He could if he had the mind, and no one could stop it.

Zambia seems like an ideal place for a test drive. They're stealing his headlines.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Wow, this funeral is all over the news. RIP America.

lmao

i was in a pub at lunch and his face was plastered all over the screens. vomit

I'm planning on not watching this at all. Don't want to contribute to those ratings

The same system that did and does not give women and minorities the same rights as others? Lol you are silly.

I don't think the US will end at all but lives will be affected.

He doesnt need to become that to totally fuck over millions of people in many different ways.

Hey, you keep defending him, even tho you "didn't vote for him".

Sure buddy.

The LGBTQ Americans will likely be kicked out of stores, hospitals, and so on because of the FADA bill that Trump will sign, causing many of them to suffer.

Millions are going to lose their health insurance, some will definitely die, once ACA is repelled without a replacement.

Oh cool. My healthcare disappearing wouldn't change my life in any noticeable capacity.

Thanks!

People will be uninsured, people with pre-exisiting conditions could be shown the door, the cable companies will be given free reign to divide up the internet and charge whatever they want for access to 1 or 2 websites
Not to mention what could happen to minorities
So nah bruh

You said no one's life would change or change very little. This is objectively false.

The main difference is that Obama hyperbole was based on him being a secret Kenyan Muslim Socialist, and Trump hyperbole is based on what he said he'd do.

To the East and West coasts, I wish you good luck and I hope we can survive these next four years.

To the flyover states, fuck y'all.

For the hell of it, I'll save this post and if a time comes where a change has occurred to my life directly because of him and his administration, I'll be sure to let you know.

But, of course, let's hope that won't be the case.

sadly, that's the whole NA budget for marketing for the game

Sure....just like people didn't have their homes foreclosed and their 401k drained after a Bush administration. But yea let's pretend a person promising to deport millions and put muslims on a registry and bringing back stop and frisk and repeal ACA and defund many beneficial institutions will have next to zero impact on people.

The system is broken because the majority of people didn't vote for him, having faith is a terrible idea, you should KNOW, THINK and QUESTION everything.

You're right, he might not become a totalitarian dictator, but he has showed opinions and character of a totalitarian dictator for a very long time.

 

[ClosingADoor]

I've already seen Trump supporters claim the photo with barely anyone there is fake and altered. They're in a world of their own.

The livestream didn't even show any panning shots of the crowd for the half hour or so that I followed last night. Guess they didn't want to show off then /s

I have enough faith in the system, that has worked for over 200 years, that it will not allow Trump to become this totalitarian dictator that everyone sees him becoming.

Well, if the system was followed, he wouldn't even have become the President Elect, since the electoral college should have blocked it based on the conflicts of interest alone.

 

[Morts]

Very difficult to focus at work today.

 

[rainy_day]

In all black today. Morning the loss of a real leader. We will miss you President Obama!


Love trumps hate.

No one seriously thinks he is going to become a totalitarian dictator. But he, along with the rest of the GOP-controlled government, are going to pass a lot of laws that shit all over minorities and the poor.

Unless you're gay, or Muslim, or Latino, or black, or ...Well, you get the idea.

My girlfriend thinks that. She's actually terrified of that or all out nuclear war.

The fucking system hasn't always worked out best for a lot of people, especially minority groups, but I guess you're okay with that cause no affect on you then and no affect on you now..

Hey, New Mexico and Colorado voted blue, wish us luck too.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

..

The great thing about great political photos is they only get better with time. With any luck we'll survive long enough to look back at this in 20 years.

Anyone know what's with the white platform/tile covering the ground on the Mall? Never seen that before. Is just it to stop the grass from getting so torn up, maybe?

Is a white dot on a blue background our new flag under Trump?

Shouldn't it be orange?

We talking about health care and minority rights.

This line of thinking is what allows policy makers to get away with eroding rights and programs that ultimately do effect millions. If they can't see it immediately they placate themselves with 'nothing changes' edgy, 'above it all' bullshit in the meantime.

Completely ignoring that Trump as a whole is an example of the repercussions of the long con at work.

I have type 1 diabetes that will now be a pre existing condition? This effects my life.

The vast majority of the foreclosures happened under the Obama Administration. See, e.g., Ryan Coooper: "This is Obama's biggest failure"

All the major news channels have their live YouTube stream. Just check the live section of YouTube.

3 doors down should play going down in flames, thats how america the world will go

 

[Swimmer9800]

I sincerely do apologize if I offended anyone in this thread. I am a White male so my view is clearly somewhat one'sided. I do still have faith in the system to protect people's rights.
