Really ? I believe it shows, what kind of an authoritarian leader you would have to expect. Violent police, state controlled media etc., happened in Russia, happened in Turkey.

You don't get New York, do you? People push, you push back. However, Trump has learned that it's not acceptable in politics, so he's left it behind. Big difference between "Brooklyn Brawler" and Stalin, dude! =0[.]o=

Sorry, but that's just paranoia. Much more realistic is that he who has shown time and again his profound lack of judgement will be a puppet president: strong and decisive for the public, but in reality utterly dependent on his staff. In the end his presidency would neither be better nor worse than that of any other presidents before him, and after 4 years of same-old, same-old he'll the leave office as a disappointment for his followers and unremarkable for the rest.

Trump was expected to win New York by a large margin. In fact, he fell short of many projections, which had him sweeping all the delegates. Although Cruz is eliminated from getting 1237, doesn't mean he's disqualified or should drop out. Learn the process. The convention is there for a reason.

Again, it will come down to California, and maybe Indiana.

I don't know, while you totally have a point, then there is that stuff about deporting 11 million. I mean, it's not like illegal immigration is unproblematic, but it's going to be shitstorm if done (two wrongs don't make a right, there will be a lot of resistance and there is going to be shady stuff, also, I'm not really sure he can govern without fullfilling his promises for too long to say he won't do it).

PS: also, why would someone need to supress free speech and the media when misinformation does the job better anyway?

Ask the Georgia Department of Health that same question. (re:Eric Walsh)

They will be coming soon enough for me, and for you, and for him, and for everyone else that isn't thinking approved thoughts.

Crazy slippery slope logic, ...riiight?

We're getting there.

Meh, too much science fiction. I'll care in some decades when it starts to happen. For now, it's somewhat too much speculation.

We are all the product of our environment. We think in terms which are familiar to us, frame things from examples in our history which have been repeated over and over. It is the nature of intelligence to do so. But what do you do when you cant trust your history? When you realize your experiences are engineered by others... And you are just an empty puppet under total control, powerless and alone. Surrounded by other puppets and your masters, you cant trust anyone. Your words and very thoughts are but a script written by your programmer on the other side of the screen.

Excellent show. But i think it shoots far too high over the average persons head.

I really hate the socialism of the west. East, middle east etc rely on social capital (aka children and adults paying for their own) not social security and other state largess. No worries when Hispanics take over USA and Muslims EU you can bet your ass there will be no welfare.

Anyway I'll always vote republican for anything else but lower tax because I'm not a deadbeat. Need no public schooling. Need no public hospitals or anything else paid by tax payer. And screw the police too. I'd rather smoke my shit in peace.

I think you'd like a city called Rapture, free from government intervention, where every person works for itself alone. It's under the sea, it has a nice view.
