I’m not political. I don’t vote. I’m simply not on the political spectrum. I am only putting out an alternative viewpoint. If you’ve ever been part of a chant, you should probably stop reading right now. For those of you who can think for themselves. Well then, you’ve probably noticed you simply can’t go 5 minutes without seeing a pro-or-anti-Trump meme/post/repost/video on social media, and the same rules apply with Hillary. The public is being trolled. Even wikileaks was supposed to make a massive announcement recently, and it ended up being nothing more than Assange promoting their book. For all you know, they are simply part of this circus. Trump was most likely chosen strictly for vaudeville. He has been an entertainer after all. He’s a close affiliate of the Clinton’s. Guess who told him to run. Bill. What does he get in exchange for this? Who knows, but it’s obvious he loves the camera and that’s probably enough for him, although there is a far-flung theory he will be getting this own TV channel in exchange for his stooging. While he was famous before, he’s mega famous now. He probably wishes he were an actor. 9/11 truth isn’t even controversial these days. Yet, if you say the voting process isn’t even real, that is. For those of you who doubt this, just look at voting patterns before the digital age. In 1992, the concept of “swing states” was introduced. Even if not one person voted, it would show up the same. I do think the vote is somewhat based on reality though, for example, Oklahoma can’t go blue, Washington can’t go red, although that did happen in the past. Once a certain threshold is met who knows what complex algorithms they decide to use in the rigging process. Trump at the moment is telling a half-truth. That the election is rigged, but it’s rigged against him. All to drum up the herd. He is feigning outrage, but has known this for quite some time. Politics has always had a vaudeville angle to it. Who will forget when Gore claimed his own version of the Macarena? Admiral Stockdale’s famous line of “Who am I”? The list goes on & on. This year, it’s the entire thing. The elite (could be NWO/Illuminati/Bilderbergers/Skull&Crossbones, unknown entities or a combination) have chosen Hillary long ago. Warren Buffett even said in 2014, “Hillary is going to win”. We live in an era where the herd mentality has never been more prevalent. Essentially, supporters of each candidate are so impressed with their candidate to levels that may even surprise Freud. I will say this, Trump is at his absolute best with Don King. He becomes Don Trump around Don King. Too bad Don King isn’t on the ticket. He is far more entertaining than Pence. Although given how conservative the right generally still is, Pence has been a solid pick to make this entire thing appear real. Anyone who saw the debates could tell some of the lines were rehearsed. It also seems as if some of the big talking points on both sides (basket of deplorables becomes “adorables”, Trump’s criticism of women via proxy of the Statue of Liberty, Melania’s using Michelle Obama’s famous speech) were used as cannon fodder at what ended up being a Comedy Central roast on CNN. A dual roast at that, CNN might be the real Comedy Central these days. In other words, it was by design. They knew it would make for great vaudeville. Of course, the Trump supporters think it was a no-contest for Hillary, and the Hillary supporters think the exact same thing. They’re all being trolled. Cardinal Dolan even went on the record saying they both got along well in private and even complimented each other. Given the fact Trump has donated to Clinton’s Senate campaign in the past when he was a “democrat”, this is basically par for the course. A few more more points I’ll quickly make. Bernie could have ran as an independent after having the democratic nomination taken from him, and probably won. Yet, the vote isn’t real so it wouldn’t have mattered. He played his role very well. Better than Marlon Brando in the Godfather…well, as good. Not better. The DNC got their “Pied Piper” candidate in Trump, essentially they wanted him, and given his remarks on the issues at the final debate, he’s moved further right than Pat Buchanan. Assuming the vote was real, then Trump would probably win. The majority of straight men would vote for him, unless they support feminism, which most straight men probably don’t, outside of some social justice types. There are only more women in the US because of the very elderly population, and the majority of them probably don’t vote. Also, those on the left need to stop bringing up the gender wage gap myth. That’s only true because there are more men who are C level executives and doctors. It’s not true for the average person. Lastly, those on the right need to stop presenting mainstream media bias like it’s new information, it’s not. _Adclinis falsis animus meliora recusa_ #vaudeville2016 #redorbluejustjointheherd ---

Like I said, I don’t support/not support either candidate. Another reason I don’t vote is because of all the junk mail. I care about trees too much to vote. ---

Good for you, but nevertheless and with the understanding that all kinds of crazy stuff can happen, Hillary Clinton will be an okay president regardless of how much support she may have gotten from the Illuminati. ---

Let’s hope she keeps the Russians at bay. If Trump wins, Putin might start hanging out at the white house. Can’t allow that to happen. ---

Hi, **ghettomotels**. I think you’ve set a record with your long post. Most of the individual sentences are completely false. Even those that are half-truths or tautological are misled or misleading. Even your very first sentence is false: “I am not political.” You follow this with a long uninformed rant about … things political! I suppose you’re thinking “So, tell me where I’m wrong!” But all the relevant information is already available to you — read Wikipedia, read SDMB threads where informed citizens discuss these matters, or [gasp!] read books, etc. If you need a personal tutor, do you have money to spend for it? ---

There is almost no overlap between “people who think for themselves” and “people who don’t vote”. ---

It’s all staged vaudeville. Even Alex Jones supports Trump, that should tell you something right there. Jones has been a stooge for the tin foil hat crowd for a long time, now he supports a candidate and suddenly believes in the process. I’m not here to debate anyone, I’m only presenting an alternative viewpoint. One that is hidden in plain sight. Like I said, I’m non-political, I don’t care what happens, although I do find it entertaining. CNN is the new Comedy Central. The public is being trolled. The elites are probably laughing. #vaudeville2016 #redorbluejustjointheherd #saturdaynightlive7daysaweek ---

Wait of the vote were real, the majority (which is far from an actual majority) of straight white males wotld vote for trump? And you think that’s enough to win? And of course real men don’t believe in feminism. ---

> [@ghettomotels](#): > > I’m not political. I don’t vote. Given the remainder of your diatribe, I find the first two sentences very encouraging. I understand that it gives you great satisfaction feeling that [you are special](https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/610:_Sheeple) in that you are “in the know” and not one of those [sheeple](https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1013:_Wake_Up_Sheeple). And I am glad for you. I’ve decided that much like the religion, conspiracy theories give comfort to a certain group of people and as long as they don’t act on those beliefs in a way that harms others, I have no problem with their seeking comfort in that way. The main concern would be that you would vote based on your mistaken beliefs, but since you have declared you won’t, feel free to enjoy your specialness. ---
