Well, unfortunately, we have 4 years to think about it.

My wife and I are already looking at immigrating. I'm actively sending resumes to other places. If I can't fix it, then I'll leave it to those that want it this way.

(I guess this is what it felt like when the regular Germans had Hitler voted into power?)



Democracy means having to go with the majority. And Trump isn't Hitler, that is just ridiculous.


You're right.

This hatred is about Muslims, immigrants, deportation forces, bad trade deals, "stop-and-frisk" and rights reductions, and anti-liberalism.

Change Muslims for Jews, and well...


Not that I'm claiming Trump _is_ Hitler, but the point is he's a wildcard – nobody seems to know what he _actually_ stands for. He says one thing to one crowd, and then the next day, spews the exact opposite to a different crowd.

Note that Hitler never won a majority in an election.


A majority, yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_federal_election,_March...

Not an absolute majority though, but neither did Trump.


Emigrating.
