    The problem in making change is, is that we know how many people who voted for Trump are. It’s not hundreds. It’s not thousands. Millions voted for the guy. To accomplish change, there’s no scenario I can see that isn’t without blood. And even if we have another civil war, Trump still somehow wouldn’t get his comeuppance because he’s running an office with his own concerns in mind and nobody else’s. Everybody that dies would just be as expendable to him.

    We need more people like Luigi though. I honestly wish that assassin didn’t miss his shot on Trump.

    Also, this is the kind of mentality in that post here, is exactly why tensions happen between countries. Distinction is an important quality, whether you accept that or not. Don’t be a dumbass and assume America 100% backed Trump, just like some of us are trying not to be dumbasses and assume your country is worthy of being taken by force.

      Millions voted for the guy. Why? Because they were manipulated by billionaires using fear and hate media to win an election. You can be mad at the uneducated all you want, but the real fault lies with evil billionaire greed.

        The uneducated are a part of the reason, you can’t ignore that and you can blame billionaire greed all you want but it doesn’t change that.

          Brother, who do you think is responsible for their lack of education? Republicans who are funded by evil billionaires. I swear your next comment is going to be, “They just have to pull themselves up by the bootstraps.” Not everyone has access to food let alone education. The privilege on this guy.

        We are all responsible for our own actions. Allowing yourself to be fooled by propaganda is your fault, not anyone else’s.

        None of this changes until Americans collectively decide to change it and comments like yours only make people feel comfortable with the idea that they can’t do anything to change it.

          No. You are wrong. Of course we are responsible for our own actions. Pretending like the massive amount of propaganda that sways people’s views while their education is being taken from them by the same people is ignorant. You are so convinced that they are wrong, and you are right. Why are you so sure that you haven’t been controlled by media for your views? Do you blame North Koreans for being born in North Korea?

            No. You are wrong.

            You are so convinced that they are wrong, and you are right.

            You don’t see the obvious contradiction between these two statements? Quit making excuses and accept your part in all this.

                Nothing at all. You’re a perfect little angel who is totally blameless. There’s nothing more you could have done or could be doing now to impact the situation even one bit.

                    What good is discussing potential actions with someone who categorically denies the ability to act? You’d rather feel sorry for yourself and that’s your to decision to make but don’t pretend like your refusal to participate means you’ve caught me in some logical trap.
