    No, I’m gonna sit back and laugh as a bunch of guys who couldn’t schedule a meeting at the four seasons try to overthrow the world’s oldest democracy.

        Do not underestimate Trump.

        You can make some serious missteps by overestimating him.

        But look around. Cop riots on ever campus from Columbia to UCLA with pigs firing tear gas and clubbing professors indiscriminately. All because some kids said “Free Palestine” on the lawn. There’s this sense that things will be so much worse under Trump, when its all spiraled completely out of control six months before the next election.

        Win or lose, this is turning into a country by, of, and for cops. They own our world, no matter who sits in the White House. The only real difference is whether the President eggs them on or looks the other way.

      We’re a constitutional Republic, dipshit. We’re not even a true democracy and calling us the oldest when there are PUBS older than our country is ridiculous. We are YOUNG.

        According to wikipedia:

        Under a minimalist definition of democracy, rulers are elected through competitive elections while more expansive definitions link democracy to guarantees of civil liberties and human rights in addition to competitive elections.
