I can’t be happy about this. I heard donald trump is going to win indiana, which means he’s going to be a presidential nominee.
The reactionaries are going to flood everywhere on here when that happens. No subreddit will be safe, the massive operation will overwhelm the best the mods can do and we’ll all be drowning in shitposts.
But it’s more than that. It’s that we might get a racist and sexist, or at least a person who said racist and sexist things and rose in the polls every time, as president. What if he nominates ted cruz to the supreme court? What’s going to happen when he attends a United Nations meeting?
And the thing is, he doesn’t just have the reactionary asshole crowd. He’s also got the “Burn down the establishment” crowd, and those two combined might be big enough to do it.
Do you know what it has been like for me, an american citizen, to have first seen Captain America: The First Avenger, and then watch from the sidelines, get involved in his party only to have a negligible effect, and then continue to watch from the sidelines as his proud nation becomes the very worst of sexist and racist nations? Yes, these people were already there, BUT THEY DIDN’T HAVE A CHANCE AT ELECTING A PRESIDENT, DAMMIT!
So, no matter what the hell ellen does, Donald Trump, what with his willingness to get involved in petty shit, might try to stop her. I mean, the guy is pretty much likely to, what with the power the president has.
Everything we’ve done, every bit of progress we made, is just going to disappear. Into a shitty orange wig.
I need some weed.
