John Wright Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 It's just another step in the probable realignment in post WW2 liberal free trade human rights consensus politics in the west. Lots of people feeling left out, ennui ( I think?). Same in EU with Brexit. France Le Pen. Hungary. Spain. IOM. etc etc. Problem is there is no clear vision or dream to replace it with other than authoritarianism. I see the Canada government visa and immigration web site has crashed. It'll see the end of NAFTA, TTIP, the Pacific one. He can't deliver otherwise than through rhetoric and propaganda. Will the sheeple wake up in time or will they sleep walk into the abyss because the believe what demagogues, even poor ones like trump, tell them. If I was a betting man, which I am not, I'd place money on them continuing to walk into the jaws of the Abyss. There is no chance that Trump will do a trade deal with UK, he's all about protectionism and restarting old inefficient industries like steel and auto and not allowing competition in. We saw how ineffective that was in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. It has ramifications for world economic growth, trade etc. It may even hasten the end of EU monetary union, freedom of movement and the single market and customs union. If Greece now left the Euro and defaulted what would the effect be on German banks, and the knock on within world banking, if Ireland, Portugal and Spain did likewise, followed by Italy and France the downturn and economic crisis would be much worse than the last 8 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmanx Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Stupid people let their emotions make decisions. How would you prove this statement? I mean we could show the countless hours of video footage of Trump supporters declaring their love for the Orange Overlord, and when shown with a rational and reasoned counter argument that he is a racist, xenophobic, multi-bankrupt, many times married, serial litigation junkie, they just repeated their love for the Tangerine Tyrant. But evidence doesn't sit well with the type of people who voted for UKIP or Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is apathy that allowed Brexit and Trump to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Democrats brought this onto themselves. How hated must she be? It's great to see her lose but it's horrible to see him win. Having said that, he's not stupid and neither are the Republicans. They'll now take him aside and tell him exactly how this show will run for the next four years. They're not stupid enough to let him ruin their interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much you've gleaned over the years about the level of her and her philandering junkie husband's criminality. Is this not relevant to the overview?
