Curb Your Authoritarianism? The 2016 Conventional Wisdom Thread (Elections, Part 6)

OK that joek was kinda welcome

like a pony in a pile of dog shit

America is back! Bigger and deffer than ever before!

Tougher than leather!

It's because of my father that I have these piles of money!

lol did the crowd actually cheer at the prospect of a government-funded stimulus?

my mother was the flintiest card sharp of them all!

"I love defeating these people! Love it, love it."

his one joke in 90 minutes was at the expense of religion?

trump said he loves defeating ilxors

it was kind of self-deprecating because even he can't claim to deserve the support of religious people with a straight face

XP

oh my fucking god this is boring

We will make America sexy again!

hope trump also goes after eisenhower, he had a pretty stark three-word loyalty pledge too. printed on buttons and everything. Sad!

Paul Kossoff is rolling in his grave rn.

Why are both the candidates this year over a million years old?

aging population, also old is in right now

When the CW consensus 'next Obama' is Marco Rubio, then it makes good sense to look at 'oldster Obama' instead.

CoS answered a question I had:

http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/donald-trump-ends-his-rnc-speech-by-playing-rolling-stones-a-band-who-once-pulled-a-knife-on-him/

David Brooks just said "next week Hillary Clinton is going to drive a truck through this"

Too soon.

there's no such thing as bad taste at the end of the world

did no one involved think to have g.e. smith play the SNL closing theme over trump's speech?

it's like nobody has any imagination anymore

the music has been like twilight zone shit

watching the ivanka into now. i wonder if she/anyone actually believes that trump would be a competent president

Give her a break--She used to live in his nuts!

it's more a general point. like, ppl cheering for him or voting for him... they know this is a joke, right?

i understand voting for him as an expression of disdain for "the establishment" or as a kind of profane gesture but i don't understand thinking he will improve anything

"thinking"

Why are both the candidates this year over a million years old?

Scooping up a billion dollars takes time.
