Electing Trump would be confirming America's status as a failed state.

[MrScorpio]

The Republicans Party has spent the last 40+ years chipping away at our civic body politic, that is barely functions as nothing more than conduit for the massive upward redistribution of public wealth.

We're pretty much an oligarchy at this point, masquerading as a democratic republic.

A Trump presidency will be nothing more than a figurehead, not to mention the irreparable damage he'd cause with the tacit approval of a gerrymandered Republican controlled Congress.

Can the course be reversed? Sure it can. All you have to do is keep Trump out of the White House and kick out the GOP majority.

Are we ready to do that?

It remains to be seen.

1. I'm certainly willing to try!

[onecaliberal]

2. There is a breathtaking amount of stupidity in this country.

[MrScorpio]

3. Oh, definitely

It's not by accident either.

[onecaliberal]

5. Nope. The corporate media has been working on it for 30 years

4. I can't remember if I saw this on the Daily Show or Tonightly

(or maybe another comedian) but the suggestion was, if Trump wins the only thing we can do is go to the Queen. We'll tell her we're sorry and that after our 240 year Rumspringa we realize we're not ready to govern ourselves and we'd like to come home.

And we'll pay for tea.

6. The Republicans have hijacked the meaning of patriotism.

And reduced it to nothing more than mindless slogans and Fox News bullshit. Donald Trump is the epitome of this.

7. But it is a failed state

Yes, flush the Gop and the crooked Dems along with them
