I fear both an HRC and a Trump presidency

10. They're both horrible scenarios to contemplate.

I think I fear the good chance of a war with Iran (which means Russia also) and the possibility of WWIII more than I fear xenophobic and bigoted tendencies fanned at home. Americans care a lot more about what happens at home than they do about what happens abroad (and would actively fight against the kinds of things that Trump proposes). Many do not understand the seriousness of what the US has been doing abroad in terms of their own (and the world's) well being. Your scenario about what would happen at home with a clown like Trump in office will not work to solidify the Globalist agenda but it would probably cause a majority of the population to rise up in protest. Again, both scenarios are terrible to contemplate; however, the continued US/NATO led evisceration of country after country abroad (violently, in the form of war, and more mildly, in the form of ghastly "free trade" agreements that will destroy what's left of national sovereignty) scares me more. A Trump presidency would last 4 years (if that); a Clinton presidency would continue down a global corporatist path already well plotted, could last 8 years, and would certainly be followed by a subsequent presidency that would continue the same agenda. An agenda that will be substantially harder to fight against in 4 or 8 years than it is now (which is already hard enough as the players and strategies undermining Bernie's campaign indicate). Benito Mussolini described Fascism as "the marriage of corporation and state" - the US is already well down that road. Global corporate totalitarianism is what I fear. We don't have to have a Trump presidency or a Clinton presidency. Bernie Sanders is the clear rational choice if you value peace, tolerance, social justice and economic justice.
