Ask a Think Tank Analyst Anything

I've made this thread every few months for the last couple of years, first on 4/pol/ and now on 8/pol/. People always seem interested. The last thread was deleted after a lot of discussion - same as on 4chan. If that happens again I'll stop.

Anyways, ask an establishment shill anything. I work for a think tank in London which is funding my post-doctorate.

who is ur favorite 2hu and why do u want to gas teh kikes

what Think Tank?

How is it different to what we do on Holla Forums and how do I apply for a job?

What will happen in Hannover and Dresden in 2016/17?

I was on /a/'s side when 2hus were moved to /jp/.


If I told people in real life what I think, or if I told you who I am in real life, then I'd be fucked. That's how it works.

Have they filmed you buggering a child while being held at gunpoint yet?

Kill yourself immediately.

Do you have an advanced degree? If not, good luck fucko. Funny thing is post-modernists in my field are always criticising how elitist people were prior to the 1960s but you still need an advanced degree to get a job.


If you want to know the future of AfD just look to the past. Look at what happened to "alternative" parties in Germany in the 1950s.

Probably not high enough on the ladder for that.

I'd prefer to kill myself slowly with alcohol.

How does one get such a job? What are your plans after post-doc?

I had a connection through my parents. Good luck if you don't. This field is full of faggots who advocate equality but who get their position (like me) due to connections.

As for my plans? Ride the academic teet as long as I can. Currently getting funding both from my work and my school, so gonna ride that.

Do you purposefully give them shitty analysis and bad advice for shits and giggles?

If Donald Trump wins what do you think will happen to the USA in terms of civil unrest and how will this affect Europe? What do you think will happen if the global economy crashes before the General election? What happens if it crashes after the general election with either Trump or Hillary in office lets say 6 months or so after they take office?

If there is a global economic collapse, how bad do you think it will be?

No other way? The AfD is pretty weak and kosher, but what do you think about the grassroots present there?
I mean I just found out that they are supportive of displaced post war Germans too. Definitely something going on.

Hello, OP. Person with high-level connections at RAND Corp. here.

How are you advising your clients regarding the collapse of the petrodollar and the rise of petrocurrency mercantilism?

Obama visited Hannover which is basically salafist city and Bilderberger will meet in Dresden which is PEGIDAs Headquarter.
There must be some deeper meaning behind this.

This larping again

I give them what they want to hear. There are often threads on Holla Forums full of people wondering what to do in classes full of libtards. The answer is simple: give them what they want. It is easy to manipulate them.


I refuse to believe Trump will win. I'm a pessimist. I tend to think the fact that shitskins/women make up the majority of the electorate will overcome anything else.
Now that would be interesting. It'd have to be predicated on a non-US event though which makes me doubtful. Basically a wholesale Chinese collapse is the only real possibility.
Honestly it wouldn't be dissimilar. Both worth be willing to use the FED and the treasury to ensure US financial stability. The difference between the two candidates, or at least the significant differences, isn't financial.

Hah, couldn't be worse than the last one - could it? Well, maybe it could. Who knows?

why do you suck baby penis?

Why are you so ashamed of being a lobbyist that you try to make people believe that think tanks are not lobby groups?

A few years ago travelling through Germany I noticed giant crosses upon a hill. Later I looked it up and realised they'd been build to remember refugees who fled Eastern Europe after WW2. Germans have never been as self-hating as their politicians pretend.


I'm not. If I had to be a salesperson I wouldn't have a job.


It's pretty obvious that Obama and Merkel are on the same wavelength. Don't need a tinfoil hat for that.


:)

What is your take on Trump winning the Republican nomination?

What the fuck is going on?

Kill yourself immediately.

Hahaha, you are a bad analyst.

It doesn't matter what you think will happen. You are supposed to prepare for anything that COULD happen. If you don't think Trump could be elected under any circumstances, then I have a Fed-backed derivative contract on a bridge over oceanfront property in Las Vegas to sell you.

using a trip in case my IP changes, cuz im on a proxy

hope you dipshits are using proxies as well

What makes you assume I believe there is a difference? You are absolutely right.


It's funny how over the past six months people I've met have just randomly shit on Trump. They really are scared. The day Cruz dropped out my office was like a funeral parlour. As for what's going on…who knows? I still don't think he can win the general but I've been wrong about everything else.


:)

Do you work for the left or the right?
If you work for the guys who are against us, why are you here?

you again
last time you said Trump would never win, and that the economy was fine

do you really believe in your own bullshit?
is what you tell us indicative of the analyses you sell to your custommers?
do they sometimes realise how wrong you are?

I think that the global collapse will lead to something larger and more chaotic than during the great depression, as we did not have the demographic issues or the complete lack of faith in our government, the media, or our institutions. The rise of Trump leads me to believe that something major is on the way, a civil war of some kind or some massive atrocity, just like how the rise of the tea party gave way to the eventual rise of trump. Do you think people have finally had enough of the left's shit and do you think that an economic collapse will be the straw that breaks the camel's back?

You seem confused. I'm writing to satisfy the prejudices of my audience, not to speak the "truth". My analysis has NOTHING to do with my personal beliefs.

In the West the Left and the Right aren't terribly different. I'm here because I've posted on chans for nearly 10 years.


And do you think if I wrote an analysis praising Trump that I'd have a job much longer? That's beside the point.

On a personal level you are right, though. Trump has succeeded far beyond my wildest expectations. I still refuse to believe he can win the general but he's done enough for me to put my doubts aside and just let him do what he does.

That may be, but consider the alternative. Trump is the last gasp of America's past (what the Left calls evil, racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic etc).

Perhaps the majority of Americans agree with Clinton, or, rather, will bargain with the devil so their own demographic is advantaged. Your average coon/spic hates gays and transgenders but as long as Clinton imports more spics and keeps coons out of prison they'll vote for her.

Kill yourself immediately.

Once again the defeatist shill attention whore faggot returns to try and troll Holla Forums

You know jack shit. You just come here to be smug and demoralising. None of your predictions are ever accurate and you are an insufferable smugfag.

If I ever find out who you are ill fucking nithing ya son.

Dont feed this troll Holla Forums, nothing good comes of it

low energy thread

What leverage does Turkey have to force that deal with the EU?
Borders were shut and even if they release the shitskins from the camps, they won't be able to go anywhere. The free travel agreement is baffling to me. Of course if we ignore that EU is run by the jews.

What's the possibility of EU breaking up becouse of shitskins and/or the economic meltdown?

^____^

That's rather the point. Think of me as the establishment. People, here and elsewhere, are too prone to dismissing their opponents.

How do I get a job doing what you do?

you have to have connections

Sage

Your thread is shit and you should be ignored.

Stop coming here and starting shit threads.

Fuck you imaginary thing tank.

Faggot

None. Think about it a different way. Turkey provides an excuse for leaders in Europe. It allows them to say
It isn't that Turkey has leverage, but that it can be presented as having leverage (which is in reality non-existent).

It'll depend on how serious the EU is on fining countries for not accepting refugees.


see

I don't pretend to be specially qualified.

How did you get the job? What degree did you get and what sort of experience do they look for?
Would a Bachelors in International Affairs and military experience mean anything?

Also, what kind of an analyst are you? Do you monitor Domestic politics? The economy of a middle eastern country? What?

Kill yourself immediately.

...

nigga read the thread
That question got answered multiple times


What do you think the west's next move is going to be regarding Syria?
You think with the official ceasefire the US is backing with Russia that they've given up yet?

Please don't stop.

Even if I do not always agree with your hypothesis or your analysises, the threads are enriching, enjoyable and well written

Reported for supporting spam.

Spam the report button. As I said if the thread is deleted again I probably will stop these threads. Doesn't matter how many users like them when the mods decide otherwise.


I have degrees in European Studies, two degrees in conflict studies (MA and Phd). Your BA means nothing and military experience is a negative if anything. These people hate those who through sweat and blood have made a living.

Was until recently focused on the Middle East. Been writing about the US election recently though because I'm an American working for a foreign firm.


It's important to note that the US is still fighting ISIS in Iraq. A SEAL just died recently in Mosul (I believe, may have been north of that). What the US has done in Syria is basically admit cede it to Russia. Or, rather, it's ceded the potential outcome to Russia.


Thanks. I enjoy them too. Feels good to hear from people who know more about international relations than those I work with.

Reported.

touching more on FP
You think it would really change all that much under Trump? I'm not convinced that he has the political clout to make much meaningful change to how the US operates geopolitically

But would they leave solely becouse of that?

Add question: What is your think tank position/opinion on the refugee crysis?
What do goys and their masters think about it?

The one and only thing I and any Trump supporter should hope for is the wall. A nation without borders is not a nation.


If they enforced it, yes. The fines are prohibitively expensive.

Why would a continent in the midst of a demographic crisis refuse a large number of young, smart immigrants who can propell us into the future?

That's their position.

Ok, i'll bite.

Any predictions for the Balkans?

stop this shit
you're the one spamming here

lol you think you are a bigshot because of nepotism, I knew shitloads of faggots like you at university, you probably are some east coast cancer with a trust fund in the triple digits, this is garbage analysis. you faggots are worse than section 8 niggers since you all have to suck neo-cohen cock for those grants, fuck you faggot. I remember when I got kicked out of my programs waiting list while some yuppie faggot with wrists like twigs and thick framed glasses and a pompadour got a pat on the back for sucking the white guilt cock when I spent my entire last year at masters shitting on the whole liberal paradigm in front of all the pussy faggots who LARP as socialists yet have never worked a single fucking day of their life as a laborer

A completely different question, if you don't mind.

What's the last book on policy/politics/political philosophy/history you have read? Was it good? I like reading thoughtful essays, any pointers?

the rise of suburbia post war guarantees that any social disorder on par with the depression will be catastrophic, my grandparents just reverted to pastoralism when the stock market crashed in the 30s

have you ever worked a day in your life?
like a real job?

you have to either have a parent working in the field aka a lobbyist/hallaburton tier traitor or you have to spend your entire time at school from freshman undergrad up to the end of masters sucking every single cock you can find that is attached to department heads

Will Balkan countries decide that the economic benefit of the EU is worth the cost of mass migration?

I really don't have a good answer, other than that the impetus that led many of these countries to apply for EU membership is increasingly challenged by the reality of EU membership.


You are right on some counts, I'll correct you on others. I'm where I am because I recognised that getting into UK universities was easier than getting into US universities. I've never worked a real day in my life and don't intend to…that's why I went into academia.


"Witness" by Whittaker Chambers. I'd recommend it to anyone on Holla Forums. It is about a lone voice in the fight against Communism in the 1940s.

...

Hey it's you, I like these every few months threads. What's new with the think tank? What's the "big" issue at the moment?

Yes. I worked for a friend of my grandfather's in the summer doing construction work.


Basically this. I'm pretty sure I'm screwed once my post-doc is done because I have no more connections after this. I weaseled my way into this think tank but my "in" has left.

Do you have any indications that something will change there soon? (On the Balkans) What is the probability of another conflict starting, or of some country changing it's geopolitical allegiance?

people like you are what made me stay the fuck away from "academia", I remember when a Phd student lost his mind and started getting hysterical when I was using heidegger in my paper, he literally got upset because I was using "nazi philosophy", (aka heidegger was too hard for him to read and everyone should just use focault and only talk about post-structuralism like the professor expected) and he then openly referred to me as a nazi for the rest of the year

what kind of construction?

Refugees and Trump. I've actually managed to shift entirely to US elections because of Trump. He is the hot topic.

We bring in speakers every week and many months ago I remember thinking
but it's donned on me that the very fact these people hate him is the reason he's done so well.

But I'm curious, what do you think? What hs made Trump win beyond even - I imagine - his own expectations?

I know a guy who played your game, its funny because he had like 200k of loans from LARPing as kissenger and he has zero skills.

...

What are alliances? Are they geopolitical? Would Serbia suddenly align with Turkey? Would Macedonia suddenly align with Greece?

There's no conflict brewing, other than that which has been self-induced by the EU's desire to import Muslims. If anything the Balkans are more united than ever in their desire not to be overrun.


I know your pain my friend. Although I actually had a professor who was really into Heidegger. I recently visited a prominant Nazi's grave in a German academic city, won't get more specific. I was surprised at the lack of desecration. Would have though antifags would ruin it.


What?

he was probably a step and fetch it for some home remodeling company (aka he didn't actually work in construction)

Why do you think I studied in yurop? They pay me to bullshit.


Try reading that post again buddy.

so basically they've swallowed the kikenomics pill

Oh I dumb, that's what you meant.

We made basements. Or, rather, the machines dug the ground up and then we put in the bars that would eventually be covered in concrete.

The only thing that matters is money to these people. They are materialists. Why do you think conservatives hate Trump?

Kill yourself.

What's the deal with Holla Forums? They always seem to be causing trouble but last time I visited the board it was just a bunch of people posting BS. That was nearly a year ago though.


My instict says she'll win. She has the non-white male vote (or the majority of the electorate). I've been wrong about Trump before though.

To me it's a question of whether or not the FBI has the balls to prosecute her for the crimes she has committed. I'm not optimistic because if you look into the Clinton past they've done some shady shit.

i'm sure trump knows how to play dirty

Thanks!

A question more related to my country Italy. Why do you think Mr.Renzi is seen so favorably by the international establishment?

In here he's not very popular, but he's holding out well because:
- He's very communicative, and a very skilled and good liar
- His opposition is very fractured in 4 different factions (leftist, nationalists, cooki-cutter conservatives, 5stars)
- Most importantly, he is so very willing to squander resources to make election season gifts, and to borrow from tomorrow to reap minor benefits today

Is he liked because he is considered a continuation of the national surrender government of Monti? Or is he liked because he's a fool easy to manipulate/bully? Or is he liked because he's a reliabile ideological ally?

Are you on Voat?

great, because this is kinda related to the question I wanted to ask. as an establishment shill with fancy credentials paid to think, how does it feel to get continually blown the fuck out by a bunch of hicks shitposting on the internet? also, do you feel that your predictions still hold any merit after having been completely wrong about everything for months now? I guess this is more of a question generally aimed at people in your line of work, but feel free to share your personal experience.

Fuck off shill

That pic is ridiculous on top of being bullshit.

Well it's a question of whether that playing dirty will turn off womyn voters, isn't it?


Ho studiato in italia per un anno. It is probably my favourite country in Europe. People like him because he hates his own country.

Think of him the same way you would Trudeau in Canada. He is self-obsessed, and wants to be seen as a "progressive" guy. So he'll kill his own country even as Switzerland builds walls to Italy (my memory of crossing the two countries doesn't involve walls, nor does Hemingway's).

is there any focus on memes? has your think tank discovered their power yet?

oh, another question then.

do you think this would've been great advice to share with your establishment buddies about 8-9 months ago?

I dont know what to tell you man, the similarities are striking and I for one can only come to the most logical conclusion using the information that I have been given, that Donald Trump is the batman.

oh yeah, since you're in london, what are the chances of brexit going anywhere?

...

so you guys pretty much copy what the states did 5 years ago verbatim?

...

I will never post on reddit or its offshoots. I've hated reddit longer than most people have know it's existed.


Well that's the $32,000 question isn't it? Nobody quite knows who is voting for Trump or why. As for me, it's felt good. I'm naturally cynical, so to see Trump do so well has been a real treat. I mean that. People got it wrong because they assumed the evil hick white Republican would vote for who the mainstream (Leftist) media told them to. They didn't.

In particular one guy who I work with, who is a UKIP supporter, hated Trump. I gather just beacuse it was what you were supposed to do. But over the months I think he has come around, even if he won't admit it. Yesterday he just said it's the will of the voters, and there's nothing that can be done. I guess that just about sums it up.

Not officially but I'm tired of middle aged people using the word "meme" in my workplace.

Why would I share advice with them, though?

Please look at past votes. As an American I don't like telling the UK what to do (like Obama) but it's worth noting that any other anti-UK vote in Europe has meant nothing. Whether in France or Ireland.


What's your point?


Fuck Buckley.

you really think trump is betting on winning the popular vote?

what exactly is so difficult to understand about this? I mean unless the people you work with are actually mentally challenged.


I thought that's one of the things an establishment think tank analyst would do?

sage

what precisely do you do?

run metrics on giant data sheets?

hand out questionnaires to random idiots and develop ideas from them?

conduct interviews with random idiots how they feel?

I'm not entirely sure he is betting on anything. I think his rise is probably as surprising to him as it it is to us.

He needs to win Ohio and Florida, and in order to do so the shitskins that Republicans imported - in addition to the women influenced by the feminism that Republicans have abetted - have to vote Trump. Will they? I don't know.


There's a difference between knowing and wanting. These people want to believe Trump supporters are all racist evil KKK white wasp male conservative christian etc etc but there are too many of them. So they really don't know why all these others - who don't fit that group - support trump.

I get paid to bullshit. I'll adopt any and all positions if it advances my career (ie doesnt threaten my funding).

Would a relative working for, say, the GAO qualify?

We publish a quarterly journal and for the last few years I've written articles for it or helped others write articles for it. If I was going to do any of those three things I wouldn't have gone into academia.

i'm not surprised by it at all

sage

so they're really just dumb fucks? sorry, but highly intelligent people don't fall into this line of thinking.

I understand that your job requires intellectual dishonesty, but if you were actually surprised by Trump's success you might be missing the intellectual part.

Yo give us the run down on what's going on in Russia. Are they planning on taking more of Ukraine? Are they getting stronger or falling apart? Are they secretly gommunists?

...

Remember he flirted with running in 2012. I don't know though, maybe Trump really did see this coming. After all that's happened I wouldn't put it past him.


Highly intelligent people create their own reality. Most people here don't really understand the nature and extent of post-modernist thinking.

I'm a natural pessimist. I refuse to believe that the US would willfully arrest its decline. At the same time, I hope I'm wrong. Simple as that.

But what about the efforts toward killing yourself? Any activity in that regard?

They are only interested in what they consider to be the "Russian" parts of Ukraine. There is no hope of Russia taking the entirety of Ukraine because Ukraine, unlike the West, understood the true nature of the USSR. Up until the mid 1950s Ukrainian nationalists were fighting against the Soviets just as they had fought against the Nazis.

OHH, your one of those yokels with a degree who talks out his ass on the state of the world

why would you need to move to england? I figure stateside had 10 of those jobs for every 1 elsewhere

Never mind that he has no proof of that claim.

I've been drinking a lot since starting the thread. Perhaps I will overdo it and die. We'll see!


I am yeah. The more I travel the more provincial I become.

Do you think the Ukraine will make a huge mistake and join the EU? At this point there isn't much reason to they already lost all that land and got fucked in the ass they would just get fucked again if they joined.

Think tank user, I was in the last thread you made and I haven't stopped wondering about a part you talked about in your third post.

You said that Russian 'aerospace forces' would down any blue team nuclear strikes, but you shied away from saying anything about that. I have to assume that by aerospace forces you meant some sort of orbital asset. Would I be wrong in making this assumption?

It was peculiar that you seemed to give such a detailed look into defense capabilities and the current situation but shied away from this topic so I assume that it's something space-related.

has the rise of the right wing in austria caused any alarm?

I love this guys threads

OK, do you think there is a chance in hell of UK voting for Brexit ? And any chance of it actually happening if they do vote for it?

Do you think that the Trump phenomenon in the US is partly White people finally getting involved in identity politics?

Do you and your comrades fear rope day?

What are the elites secret attitude towards muslims? Do they really believe the shit they put out or is this some sort of power play?

Keep in mind how poor Ukraine is. Wealthy nations can afford to think about the EU, but Ukraine can't. That's what worries me.


That was not me, if you are referring to the post. I am sorry friend. I don't want to mislead you, so you'll have to wait for him to return.


Nobody has mentioned it here, nor would they have any reason to.

Are you Jewish?

Hell man I was wrong about Trump so I hope to god I'm wrong about the brexit. The one good thing is that Obama came over and basically gave brexit supporters a huge bone. The issue is that even if the UK votes for it, that's no guarantee that it will happen. Again, in other EU countries these types of votes have been ignored.

The average Trump voter would never admit that. They see him saying "we will make America great again" and they think of America as it was (90% white). But they don't connect that message with race.

all they have to do for brexit is promise afternoon tea will be more affordable

Apparently my grandfather may have been before he converted to Episcopalianism. I guess I'm the crypto-jew you guys are worried about.


Britbottles don't do afternoon tea anymore, by and large.

Is any western country trying to control the birth rates in Africa, India, etc by politics? It seems like it will be a demographic shitstorm within 20 years

Is pic related how the world really works?

Oh, one more.

Is China's involvement in Africa a long term thing? They don't seem too keen to put in infrastructure like the Europeans did. I read that there was a lot of resentment

DISRAELI

No, and why would they? If they did they'd be accused of eugenics (which is a bad thing in the modern context).


I wish Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu was correct. Unfortunately it probably doesn't work like that.

To avert environmental catastrophe

I read Stephen Emmott's book 10 Billion and it was pretty bleak

They are very keen to put in infrastructure, as long as it is of benefit to them.

Their involvement is definitely long-term, in that they believe that can extract a great deal from a continent full of retarded niggers (and who can blame them).


Way too pro-Turkish for my taste tbh.

everyone creates their own reality m8, it's called subjectivity. highly intelligent people are just better at conceptualizing objective reality. Trump securing the nomination should've been obvious months ago to any highly intelligent person as there were clear, objective signs of his superiority and clear, objective signs of his detractors repeatedly missing the mark and having no understanding of the situation.

What makes you think the environment is more important than shitskins?

Let me paraphrase: The problem isn't with third world countries (third world is problematic). The problem is that rich white people use up too much energy and are destroying the planet.

brb I need to suck the smegma off my bf's penis

Its more like this lad

That's very interesting actually. What would you say were the "clear, objective signs". I'm very curious.

Which major country do you think will fall to shit in europe first? My money is on France

Sure. I was thinking more of the increasing flow of people out of these breeder countries into the west that would create issues here.

And I don't agree. They used to say that about China but as they are getting more and more modern tastes their pollution is growing hugely.

And it isn't just pollution. Destruction of forests, etc for agriculture is more what I was thinking of.

Read Scott Adam's blog. Dude knew from the start.

When you see that a person in politics has committed suicide, do you believe it?

e.g. ibj.com/articles/58378-blogger-gary-welsh-dies-in-apparent-suicide

For one, politikikes have been pretty consistently unable to accurately describe Trump's voter base or why people like him. And nearly every "gaffe" he's had, the media's reaction has been hilariously stupid and predictable and broadcast to normal people everywhere how out of touch they are.

All of the other candidates exhibited the same kind of behavior as the pundits. They're all too stupid or too rigid to understand what's going on, except maybe Christie.

Trump's been able to reliably meme hard on the political class, leaving them and their followers confused and angry and everyone else entertained, and it looks accidental until you realize the same thing happens every time. And he wrote about doing it in one of his books, /r/-ing the picture

is that you, Athens?

I think you're irrelevant

Elaborate

that was actually pretty clever, you just made a fool out of yourself retard

If you want to disrupt him you can put some effort into it. Be creative. Just saying.

Do you think that Holla Forums plays a vital role in the success of Trump?

Holy shit apparently being a real think tank guy means you say nothing at all interesting ever. Eat my fuck rich boy.

Err… isn't that a good think?

*thing

Oh boy.
I wont die for fucking ZOG or commie slav subhumans. They wont draft me.

The s400 and (currently under development) s500.

I believe the s300 is enough to down anything the west has and the s400 is ten years ahead of anything in the west.

I think one of the reasons for Trump's initial success was the fact that the establishment and MSM completely misinterpreted and underestimated him. as soon as he entered the race he was labeled as a joke candidate, no doubt due to his reality show celebrity status and brash demeanor. what they forgot to account for is that he's also a billionaire real estate tycoon from NYC who has been building his business empire for over four decades. they also seem to have forgotten that Trump used to be taken seriously.

they also kept failing to recognize the danger as it unfolded over time. they ignored Trump's debate skills and his ability to completely demolish his opponents on the stage, the moderators in front of the stage and the lobbyists planted in the audience. the media and the establishment were so conceited they got completely suckered into Trump's game. he basically tricked the media into giving him $2 billion worth of free media coverage, while his opponents were scrambling for funds they would waste on tens of thousands of ineffectual attack ads against him. Trump managed to take control of the narrative, have everyone talk about him, everyone react to him, and become the dominant force. he branded his competition and controlled the flow of information. he shamelessly deflected personal attacks and turned them into personal victories.

and not only did he shit talk his competition endlessly, he managed to back it up by actually winning states. this was the point of no return; instead of starting to take him seriously, the media and the establishment doubled down on their denialism. and when Trump inevitably kept on winning and surging every time they declared "the beginning of the end" for him, they ignored the pattern. both the media pundits and the other candidates turned a blind eye to Trump making them look like complete fucking tools and incompetent idiots.

people started flocking to Trump because people will pick the strong horse and no amount of fearmongering by loser, out-of-touch, discredited talking heads will change that. there's nothing mystical about this, it's just Trump being the smartest motherfucker around, building the best brand and pulling a hostile takeover on the GOP and the MSM, exploiting their alienation from the voters.

tl;dr Trump's been running a 10/10 game plan all along, relying on the establishment's stupidity and tunnel vision at every turn

its basically welfare for richfags, they don't actually do anything like actually write policy

...

i refuse? not i don't think he will win but rather that i need to reassure myself that he cannot win.
