2016 US Presidential Election Thread 2 - Always Darkest before Don

I have a question - looking at US mainstream media right now, it's unbelievable how all seemingly high quality newspapers like NYT and Washington Post all post anti-Trump and pro-Hillary propaganda in complete unison. Even during America's invasion of Iraq, the propaganda wasn't so blatant.

Could there be such a scenario: due to Hillary's 'progressive' status (first woman president and all), fears of Russian subversion of American democracy, and Hillary's extensive connections within the media and the corporations that own them (as uncovered by various leaks), major news outlets like CNN, NBC and others might drop all negative coverage of her Presidency and only praise her and her policies, like any media of an authoritarian country. Thus, any negative coverage of Clinton will be limited to widely discredited fringe media outlets like Fox News and Breitbart. Others will be accused of being Russia's "useful idiots" or simply misogynists. This situation will continue until either Hillary's relationship with her corporate buddies tanks, or there's a scandal that no one can cover up or downplay.

It is even remotely possible, or not?

It's already begun.

FOX is hardly "fringe" considering that it has the highest rankings on cable TV, but it is ridiculed by the left. Breitbart is the one the left truly hates.

Prior to the nom, FOX railed on Trump the same as anyone else. That's where the Trump / Megyn Kelly beef came from. People hate her now.

Place your bets, will Donald "Don't cross the border that's an order" Trump or the secret reptilian queen Hillary Clinton win? Place your bets now!

As much as I despise admitting it, Hillary.
 
Hillary winning or Trump winning doesn't mean shit. There will be a land war against Russia for mastery of Eastern Europe, and it will be costly. I hope you kids like being crushed under the treads of the superior Russian armored force, because sequestration killed our development programs that could respond to Armata and Kurganets.

That has got to be the eleventh or twelfth most-Autistic thing posed in this thread.
 
Nothings come of it, and nothing is going to come of it. So, enjoy patting yourselves on the back. You did it. You figured it out...

Nobody is going to do a thing about it. Now what?

Does that not feel kinda like the ending of 1984 to you? and is the answer to your question "just shut up and carry on as usual"?
FBI antics and Wikileaks conspiracy shit aside, Hillary has been doing shady, illegal stuff for decades now. If all her scandals are perfectly innocent misunderstandings then she must be incompetent as shit to keep getting embroiled in them and shouldnt be running a country. Donald Trump is probably just as bad, who can tell, that's not the point. Fact is people have never had better access to information, and it has never been more obvious which politicians are obviously unsuitable for the job, and thoroughly hateable, yet they still get allowed to waltz into positions of power.

We might as well just all shoot ourselves in the back of the head now.

After a solid month of Infowars' headlines like "Obama Sells White People to Aliens for Time Travel Technology." Fox news reads more like the Huffington Post to me.

This is an election Hillary being involved in satanist pedophile occultist rings became an actual serious subject of discussion in the mainstream population.

We're not through the looking glass, we smashed it fam
 
@r00, there seemed to be this mentality among the dems going in that it was simply Hillary's turn to be president. But as you said, while Trump may not be the most likeable guy, Hillary's actually proven herself unfit for the job.
And the insistence that she get into the White House now because she played ball with her own party just shows how little regard the establishment has for its citizens. It's almost enough to make me vote for Trump for that reason alone.

.

I cut out the rest of your reply because you ignored my solution. Seriously. How do you fight a corrupt executive, legislative, and judicial branches are all corrupt as fuck and write their own rules and the media's stories what are you supposed to do about it?

Your first gut reaction was to assume that I meant roll over and play dead.

No wonder DC gets away with controlling us every election cycle.

Scaremongering propaganda in the media and various backstage machinations will propel Hillary to at least 65% of the popular vote and a comfortable landslide in the Electoral College.

My nightmare scenario is Hillary launching a "pre-emptive" strike against Russia by invading Kaliningrad and Belarus (because it's a Russian
ally housing several important Russian military installations) and striking other targets across the country like the Crimea, believing that American and NATO forces are so superior over the Russian military, Putin can be easily brought to heel in a conventional war without the use of nuclear weapons. The best possible end result is a month-long bloody conventional war with high casualties on both sides, followed by a truce; with the Baltic States, Belarus and Ukraine being devastated by the war. In the worst case scenario, it'll go nuclear.

It's likely highly outlandish and improbable, but recent international developments aren't bringing me any optimism.

I'm starting to be ok with the prospect of a Hillary victory. Pretty much every analyst I've followed says we're on the brink of a massive financial collapse and possibly a new foreign war. Whatever party has the misfortune of being in power when that shit hits won't win another election for decades and I'm perfectly ok with that being the Democratic party.
