Trump is maybe the least strategic, least calculated politician I have ever seen.

he literally doesnt live beyond the moment, he just doesnt give a fuck and says and tweets whatever is on his mind 24/7

Politicians are crafted to win people over and gain support. Everything they do is a PR move and for a reason, it works to be fake and have a controlled image.

How the fuck did a complete amateur with no plan beat politicians who have been preparing to win elections their whole lives?

And he didn't even win from the "popular vote", as in individual votes from American systems. He won through electoral college votes.

I don't think a lot of people who live on the coasts really realize just how fucking fed up and desperate people in the rest of the states were getting.

Hell, they still don't understand and just pass it off as everyone who voted for him being "stupid" or racist or whatever.

The biggest thing that lead to Trumps victory was his image as a businessman before being a politician.

Why should I have to move when the entire point of participation in elections is supposed to be to influence change in the nation?

I mean America is a fascist state at this point, but America wouldn't bomb itself to dispose of enemies of the state for a long while. Living anywhere else, well.

The electoral college isn't why America is fascist, but it's what allows the minority to easily secure elections. The fact we also have such extremely low voter turn out rate isn't entirely due to apathy but rather suppression and gerrymandering, etc.

The EC got trump who has lowered taxes, increased the national spending, increased his own fortune the entire way. But go on about how bad actual democratic elections are. Remember all those times the US toppled other nations then forced a democratic election and either got a puppet regime to win and deal resources (mostly oil) with the US. Or those times the US later executed those democratically elected leaders who actually were beloved by their people but didn't agree with the oil deals that the US wanted them to accept.

Your logic doesn't really follow from the system. With EC, you're weighting voting rights by land. It's not equalizing the people's vote, it's equalizing the land's vote.

It's a very old system.

There were other candidates on the poll and they didn't win. So it wouldn't be fair to say he didn't win. But I understand what you're trying to say. 2016 wasn't so much as his win, but Hillary's loss. Him becoming president is just a product of the results of everything that went wrong with the 2016 election season.

If he needed the popular vote, he would have went around to cities and told them they will get free things from the government. Sanders tried doing that, but he hasn't taken care of himself in life, so he's old and decrepit and doesn't have the STAMINA.

Instead, Donald flew around the midwest (the place where our stuff comes from) and told those people they are going to get their jobs back (and they have).

And he won. Dude is pretty smart, and had 100% of the media against him.

You also can't mention any ways your life has gotten worse during his presidency, too. He's your man!
