this reminds me of a post someone here made about how they were posting on line somewhere when two folks realized they both were from lf. they then both immediately reverted to the all lowercase form as they continued posting to each other
as for me, my small letter aesthetic can best be summed up here: http://thoughtcatalog.com/ethan-ryan/2012/09/lowercase-is-cool/
2 there are people who hate Hillary Clinton (every person who's ever voted republican for anything ever, right thinking humans, dogs, children, etc.)
3 I don't think like uh Ted Cruz was going to carry the black vote or whatever so trumps minority appeal doesn't really matter, or it doesn't matter in any way special to him vs any republican candidate.
So, that's why Donald Trump will be potus. Nate Silver I'm going to fight you. This is a promise.

hillary is a woman who initiated, voted for, and sustained multiple wars, was responsible for propping up horrific dictators and also manufacturing propaganda supporting those dictators, selling out leftists to the FBI and CIA, and a litany of other fucked up things. You only ever hear about these things if you go looking for them. It's that way on purpose. She is a master of misdirection.
Donald Trump will do his thing whether you pay attention to him or not. That's how this guy always has been and always will be, and now with this election, the cat is out of box. He's gonna keep doing his thing no matter who wins. He already is building a crappy hotel in DC.
Hillary Clinton reminds me of a spider. She weaves her webs, and lies as still as stone, waiting for that inevitable moment of weakness everyone has sometimes, then she bites them, poisons them so they can't move, and wraps them up in a cocoon of silk she sprays out the end of her abdomen, and then proceeds to slowly drain them of their fluids, as their organs slowly liquefy, taking care to keep them alive as long as possible to keep their fluids "fresh".
im going to go feed the worms now. i can hear them. they're hungry.

n February, 1957, eight years after the founding of Communist China and nine years prior to the Cultural Revolution, Chairman Mao Zedong made a speech at the eleventh meeting of the Supreme State Conference, entitled “On the Correct Handling of Contradictions Among the People,” that defined his political philosophy. In the speech—arguably his best known—the Great Helmsman drew a distinction between “the people” and “the enemy.” The people were effectively the in-group, while the enemy was nothing but a collection of demons and thugs to be vigilantly resisted. The us-versus-them dichotomy, a cornerstone of Maoism later enshrined in his Little Red Book, effectively painted the world in black and white, banishing diversity, difference, or considerations of civil liberty. Yet that worldview has found curious potency sixty-odd years later in the mouth of another bombastic demagogue, reared in a wholly different political system, who shares Mao’s knack for polemical excess and xenophobic paranoia. America may still be reeling from Trump’s victory as the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, but many Chinese, watching from the other side of the world, view his ascent as natural: the rise of another strongman whose politics of exclusion and rhetoric of hate both reprise and reflect China’s past and present anxieties.

Alright sorry, I'm taking my prediction back. There's no way he can be pres now.
Liberals calling him Risky and Reckless just makes it sound like he wears a cool leather jacket and drives a motorcycle.

I think on the surface this tirage's horeshoe theory is laughable, but I think it also points out the inability of stale neoliberal imperialism to truly comprehend its own self-made destruction. Like obviously without revolutionary politics, we'll just see a new kind of capitalist-imperialism (likely this "multipolar" stuff will have some effect) replace it. Trump is like the populist death throes of neoliberalism, which is why at this crucial period in the restructuring of capital, some feel the need to equate him to a revolutionary
Why Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States

Tyner died of a heart attack in late 1991 at the age of 46. Smith also died of a heart attack, in 1994 at the age of 45. The remaining three members of the band reformed in 2003 with The Dictators' singer Handsome Dick Manitoba as its new vocalist, and this reformed line-up occasionally performed live over the next nine years until Davis died of liver failure in February 2012 at the age of 68.
