Buh-bye America [View all]

Yeah, we've been through hard times before. But through all of those hard times, we didn't have one of our two political parties go completely insane.

Trump may not win this time around. But If Bernie or Hillary wins, my guess is he/she will be a one-term president.

The insane party will bitch and moan about how that "bitch," or that "Brooklyn Jew" (in dog whistle's, of course) in the White House has destroyed the American dream and they'll probably end up sweeping the 2020 presidential election, along with the House and Senate.

And then, buh-bye America. There will be no more need for Republican propaganda. They will own all the levers of government. And they'll happily use them to put their agenda in motion.

And what's their agenda? Same as it's always been. Bury the poor and middle class and make sure that everything flows up to the 1%. But then, they'll own all the branches of government to enforce their "final solution."

Disagree with me? Okay, let's hear your scenario for the future. My crystal ball just broke down in tears.
