Supa, you should know better. Trying to change someone's mind cannot be done with mainstream media.
But when Paul Ryan steps forward as the op-ed, you should use that.
Trump has strong opinions, no experience and no respect for the institutions surrounding him.
That is what the people wanted, someone to 'shake things up'. These same people would buy apple products.. because 'I PAID 1000 BUCKS FOR THIS AND THE STOCK IS AT A BILLION! IT MUST BE BETTER!' when you are buying the image and constantly being fucked over, so the American mindset is money-oriented and has an intense dislike of traditional politics.
I view this two ways. Did the system need this kind of shake up? Absolutely.
Is this an indirect way to get more people to pay attention to their own country and pit libs vs cons so we can eventually shake hands and make a compromise? ABsolutely.
If you believe in a shadow government, this is the way to do it. How do you rally all your employees to do a better job or move on to better jobs? Put assholes in charge with the intent of thinning the herd.
How do you get the fall guy? Look around for an [NOBABE]Alex Jones[/NOBABE] type who believes he is doing the right thing... someone who is 200% sure he could do a better job ~ despite having no experience and switching fields well into middle age.
On the flipside, you put a guy into office that is ill-equipped. An everyday asshole that looks at the problems the world faces and points fingers, yells and stamps his feet about how things arent getting done. Someone who would, and has .. boiled a problem down to black-and-white, someone who puts people into categories instead of accepting that the problem is the complexities and who will lose vs who will win in every bill/regulation/decree/etc.
You cannot satisfy everyone, but you can play the entire country like a fiddle and see what happens. Or rather what is happening. You have millions of people who actually VOICE their opinions, now. People choosing their ethics, going to rallies and town halls, finding out how they feel about their country! That is a good thing.
In a country where youth sports and schools teach 'There are no losers, only degrees of winning' and common core.. you need someone like Trump to get the conservatives back into the position of teacher or coach, to teach you that life isnt fair and you suck at baseball.
You need the liberals to be vocal but accept that emotion and empathy are losing qualities and that you gotta get off your ass and make the change you seek, dont just whine endlessly and fuck other people's fun.
An ideal lib would be Ralph Nader. He actually did something to protect America. SJW's and libs these days.. are fighting not for equal rights, but inequality. Since when did history.. movies.. games and books need to be redone? That isnt equality. The new battlefield 5 game, set in WW2.. censors 'Jews' and 'Nazis' and puts women and blacks on the front lines. That is inequality. (Yes, I know there were women resistance and black troops in the African campaign and.. blah blah, not the point)
The point is made. I'm already long-winded. *clicks post reply*
