Yeah but 62 million people voted to give a deplorably stupid authoritarian con man tons of power. After Trump leaves office, those 62 million people will still be here and they will still vote. Trump isn’t the problem, he is a symptom. You can’t blame the media or the ‘elites’. ---

You can’t blame the media or the ‘elites’. …and everything that could go wrong, possibly from global chaos to international crises, to financial meltdowns, to super-recessions, destruction of health insurance, medicare, medicaid, and other “entitlements” that were killed, privatization and corruption of government, all will be the fault of… Guess who. Libruls and Lefties and Obamunists. I guarantee it. ---

The OP is controlled opposition to make other conspiracy theorists seem silly. Global warming is real. Why aren’t we stopping it? Because the elites are lizard people. They love warm weather. Tinfoil hats actually amplify the CIA mind control rays. > [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > This guy seems deplorably stupid. This is why Trump won. Respect his economic anxiety.

I have this feeling that I will see this fairly soon. This isn’t how the world works. Trump will live to be 97. ---
