The last three elections have not gone my way.... I really did not want the NDP to win Alberta. I didn't want the Liberals to win Canada and I didn't want Trump to win the USA. I could write blog after blog about each one of these but I will try and keep it to one and just a short-ish one.
First I wanna say what all three have in common, they do have a few things in common. They all are extreme reactionary wins. 44 years of PC entitlement and it was time for a change. Even I can agree with that. They basically were doing whatever they wanted. BUT the reaction to it was insane. People voted more to out a party than to put in a good party. While the NDP is great in theory. It is anti Albert, but they won because people were so fed up with PC. The thing the PC really didn't take into account was social media. The times they are a changin. Voting wasn't just the white middle to upper class. Twitter and Facebook started to tell young people to vote and who to vote for. The hyper political correctness that has taken up this world said vote NDP. Get rid of all the old white men running the province, idealists can do it better. SO outrage led all the little sheeple to vote in an ill prepared government. Then came the Canadian federal election. This also was a reactionary vote. This was super clown shoes. Trudeau had a name behind him. Beloved in the East and hated in the West. Social media was used to paint Harper as the devil, literally. So an unprepared wanna be pseudo celebrity became the leader of Canada. I am not here to rant on that but what the hell??? Social Media brought a young and reactionary vote that changed Canada. A lesson to be learned about politics in this Brave New World.
So that was Canada. I wanna talk more about Trump, but there is clear lessons. People react! Be it wise or not people will eventually snap. Social Media is the way of the future, you don't even have to be honest you just have to be in cyber space. Whether it was Trump himself or the GOP they realized this. Over the last 10-15 years America has become more and more divided. Along the lines of race, wealth, religion. The fact is the overly politically correct world we now live in is angering many people. Trump said it out loud, right or wrong, he said what to a degree clearly many people were thinking. Some of it may be ugly, disgusting, pure hatred cough cough KKK cough cough but he also reached out to people wanting America for Amercians. Though he has never a day in his life been a common man he tapped into the growing resentment the "common man" has. Basically he pulled a Reagan. America for the good or bad voted a reactionary government. Also Trump has never been a dummy when it comes to publicity. He has been in that light most of his life. Seems biweekly or at least monthly he was the centre of a public shit storm. Like Kim K's fake robbery to try and stay in the lime light it kept Trump on every ones lips. Straight up politicking it was brilliant, they knew clearly they had a ton of closet support..... I hate to say it but I am willing to bet many "sane" moderate people said they would never cast a vote for him and in that private little booth they told a different story.
Lets be honest, Trump can be compared very closely to Hitler. He runs on hate and fear to appeal to the masses. Blames any target Muslim, Mexican hell even Canadians for the problems in America. The flipside of that coin is Hitler was for a time a great leader for Germany. Only time will tell if Trump can be a great leader for the USA. Here is the problem if you don't like him. He won fair and square. He may not have won the popular vote and the electoral college may be a terrible way to vote in a leader but he won. Democratically he won. Sadly if you are protesting right now, you are protesting the free vote. Which when you think about it is really stupid. Would you prefer a dictator? Not going to lie I didn't want him to win but here he is, democratically. So sad as it may be to say Trump is your elected leader stop ruining America with silly protests.You don't like it then right now stop what your doing and start looking for your 2020 candidate. John Everyman who can defeat Trump.
Quick side note to al the celebs threatening to leave. IN reality no one cares. You need fans much more than fans need you. If you really are arrogant enough to think you leaving the USA is going to change the government or the millions of votes give your head a shake.
So I guess it is sit down and hold on. SNL and South Park will have material for the next 4 years. I am not 100% sure how the USA system works but I don't think Trump can just "push the button" and start World War 3. I am fairly certain that his "people" will stop him from doing all the insane shit he promised. For now I guess it is time to watch and see what happens. To stop demonstrating because you candidate didn't win. If you are angry like I said then it is the time to start looking for someone who can win. It is time to get into the New World politicking.....
