The same archaic system that allowed you to appoint that Supreme Court Justice you prick. An archaic system your pansy ass prompted your party to use when you asked congress to delay obamas appointment you lying sack of shit stained orange peel
Speaking my kind of language.

Not to mention, as dumb as Bush 43 was (and he was), at least he came across as a genuinely likable as a human being.

Trump, on the other hand, comes across as a arrogant, narcissistic, lying prick.

I do not know. It's amazing to me his supporters cannot see Trump for the clear con artist he is, but that's people for you. They live in a world of alternative facts.

And they are probably going to end up with more SCOTUS seats and then we really are fucked.

Dictatorships or centralized governments are more quick to make changes but at the same time they tend to fuck around too much and the whole card house falls down. Choose your poison i suppose.
 
Depressing to see so many knee-jerk responses here. Because he's right. The Constitution is a badly designed document.

I find it kinda depressing that people here cheer on our Constitution and yet the only reason why Trump won is because of the stupid design of that fucking thing.

Can't politicians go in and redo whole EC system if they really wanted to? If they could then your answer is there, they want votes to be different value as they can try and get advantage through it in future.

Edit: Little bit like 2nd amendment, people go fucking bananas and cry out for capital punishment if someone dares to utter "gun control". 2nd amendment in itself doesn't say you can't do gun control, but people too blindly embrace it.

Of course, but people can get a bit messed up seeing a president state as much after he's elected, knowing what it foreshadows.

Also, I'm not sure if he's "right" in this context, as it seems he's only thinking of how the Constitution relates to himself and his goals rather than the people of America and our goals.

What answer? It's a terrible document! It's so poorly designed.

One of the big reasons Trump hasn't been able to run roughshod over everything around him is because of our archaic government. Its hardly perfect but lets not make it out to be like Trump has a nuanced understanding of anything relating to the government, let alone the constitution. The reason no one is even coming close to agreeing with the man is because he's a bigoted buffoon playing off the worst of humanity. He doesn't give a shit about the actual issues with the constitution, he's pissed its not allowing him to act like a dictator and do whatever he pleases.

This - and also the idea of Trump redesigning the Constitution under those terms is frankly fucking terrifying, which is much of what people actually seem to be reacting to. Of course the Constitution has problems. Is he the guy you want trying to fix them? Is the current GOP a group you want in there doing it?

Even though it isn't in the Constitution, the 60-vote legislative threshold in the Senate is really fucking stupid.

Yep.

The story is "We elected a dude who doesn't read, and he's surprised there are checks and balances in the US government."

That there is no political will and/or want to do shit about it because everyone thinks they can take advantage of it at some point politically. Just like it seems like gun control arguments are more about pandering to own base instead of there being actual will to do something about gun violence in US.

Even though it isn't in the Constitution, the 60-vote legislative threshold in the Senate is really fucking stupid.

Because it actually forces parties to co-operate instead of being dictatorial single ruling party system?

Actually he got elected for a variety of reasons, our archaic government is only one part of it and it has less to do with the constitution and more with the electoral college. Once more lets not play it up like Trump is here to solve constitutional issues, he's here to get rich and try and get people to suck his cock as much as possible.

Which is in our Constitution.

Like, what?

Man you go ride Trump's pole because you got a hard on for constitutional change. I'm not having this argument knowing what kind of man Trump is and what he really desires and its not fixing this country or its archaic government.

The Constitution is great because​it is mutable. Problem is, trying to change what's in it is very difficult, such as the EC.
EC only made sense when people in no man's land couldn't vote, so some kind of proxy was needed. This is no longer the case.

As a european is there any reason to believe that the republicans and Drumpf are completely insane, racist and don't even try to hide that they want to screw everyone over?

You can dislike the democrats but the republicans and especially Donald are so insane and dumb beyond believe.

And somehow they still stay in power even with the insane amount of proof that they're completely screwing everything up and are completely unqualified to run the government.

Since Drumpf became relevant to politics there are at least weekly disastrous things he has and had done stuff where he should've faced jailtime and a huge fine.

This is like a bad reality satire...
 
The only real reason that Trump's approval rating is where it's even at is that the GOP is basically a cult, and they just won't let go until things just turn to absolute shit all around. And even then I think the GOP rating has been steadily dropping, it's at like 78% now vs like 90% it was at one point. Honestly, if that score dropped down to just like 60% his whole approval rating would plummet.

They want that because that's when Jesus will come back.

They'd fucking hate Jesus if he came back. A Middle Eastern Jew telling them they should love the people they hate, to turn the cheek when insulted, to give until it hurts. Yeah they'd crucify him all over again.

Trumps first 100 days are better than 8 years of Obama.
All Trump has done is guaranteed a Democrat will be elected next. He literally failed at everything he promised(which is actually good for most people), he couldn't have done a worse job(for his demographic) even if he tried.

So what's your game plan here boyo? You're just a meme poster who ends up on ignore lists. Keep going and eventually whatever you say won't be seen. You'll be ignored by the majority of users.

Effectively silenced.

Right now the Right is hanging on the unemployment rates (lol thanks Obama literally) and the stock market and business. If that starts to tank, I don't see how they can keep defending him (though I know of course that they will to the bitter end).

You have to understand how most Americans were raised and taught to think. For a large portion of the population their religious affiliation is also how they choose to identify themselves. Entire communities and social constructs (friendships, work environments, clubs, etc) are built on shared moral beliefs, and albeit slightly varied between the different Christian sects they're mostly the same. When your parents, neighbors and classmates all believe certain things are true, you will too.

And in middle class America that largely translates to "god, guns and guts (aka military spending)" defining who you are and how you want to see things legislated in the country. So when elections come around those politicians espousing the message closest to your core beliefs, regardless of their other positions that you may not agree with or even understand, they get your vote, and all of those around you.

Anti-abortion, pro second amendment, and being part of awhite Christian church are essentially all it takes to keep a vote. If things get bad enough and people get convinced there's a new key issue (like banks were for the Tea Party) then voters replace one legislator with another one exactly the same but parroting that new issue as well. Once the heat is off that issue then the cycle starts all over again. Immigration, taxes, trade deficits.... Doesn't matter, so long as that core 3 are also in there. Politicians know that, and they exploit the heck out of it.

If you haven't, watch Jesus Camp. Then multiply that by 40 states.
