Thoughts on the election: For the past year, I've have been made to feel stupid (only the uneducated back Trump), violent (we cause rioting), abusive (can't treat women correctly), uncool (Lady Gaga tells me), and you name it. Fake patriots are everywhere and they did not even have the courage to explain what this was all about.

Last night was nothing short of a miracle. God stepped in and brought the victory over all the lying, cheating polling stations and managers. It was amazing. Trump won even though they had totally rigged it against him!

There is still a lot left to do. And just like finding out your best friend is not perfect, Trump has a lot to learn. He needs our future support and prayers. There is so much corruption and he is not experienced with this. Many will claim to be on his side (people "love" winners) and it will take time to identify the fakes.

The news media is lying to you. Think for yourselves.



> Think for yourselves.

I'm not sure this is a constructive phrase. Others may be different, but I've never managed to work out what it actually means: how is my thinking not my own, while yours is? What devices or strategies do you have that allow you to think on your own, while I am not doing so?

I feel like that phrase really means: "Don't read the things you're reading, they are wrong, read what I'm reading instead, they are right, because I'm reading them."

> Trump won even though they had totally rigged it against him!

This being an example. Aren't you just parroting what Trump has said to you? There is no evidence of this election being rigged in any direction. If you were "thinking for yourself" you would presumably have been reading direct sources such as studies and reports, as opposed to Trump's twitter feed.


I meant it as a compliment to the reader. Namely, that you are smart enough to figure out and discover the best path forward. You don't need everyone in the entertainment community to guide you on economic, moral, and national betterment.

For that matter, you should not need my comments either, you truly have the capacity to think. I'm only here for conversation, to provide strength and support.


> God stepped in and brought the victory

Ehh yea... No.


Well it certainly wasn't the pundits.

I am a member of the technology community making computers and related devices more enjoyable for people who must use them everyday. I guess you're insinuating that we differ to such a great degree that I should not be present.

I was in the industry before a lot of startups made their first pitch. I will be present long after.


No I'm insinuating that serious talk of miracles by God seems antithetical to the strong scientific slant on this site.
