hopefully this is becoming more obvious to voters out there. this is not about liberals vs. conservatives or dems vs. republicans. this is about taking the country back from a corrupt system. seldom in one's lifetime does this opportunity come around and it WILL have an effect for decades to come. This is not a normal election.

Hillary is the epitome of the corrupt system.

Vote Trump.

Uh, we live in a democratic republic.


The "assumption that we live in a democracy" can only be held by the uneducated.

That's what we're supposed to live in. Guessing 95% of the people here think we live in a democracy.

Unfortunately, most of our fellow citizens are ignorant of our nations founding or political systems and how they are supposed to work. Most also, don't care to lift a finger to do anything about it. We may have already lost our republic for good.


Instead, we have a quasi-fascist police state in the making. If Comrade Clinton gets "elected", then we will have our very own Stalin. She makes no bones about using the full force of the state to crack down on enemies.


It will take an awaking of more people than we have now to fix this. A State's Constitutional Convention might be the only way to fix it without bloodshed. Even that is a long shot in my opinion.....

It's about globalist socialism (not the social programs definition) and free movement of non westerners into American and capital out of America vs constitutional Americanism.

It's your run-of-the-mill statist country. A plutocratic oligarchy if you want to narrow it down a bit more.

Are you going to be an authoritarian (statist) or a libertarian (non-statist)?

I think you'll be able to answer that definitively on Nov. 9th.

If Hillary gets elected, then we obviously live in a banana republic.
