Let's say that politically you lean towards the alt-right. Is it better for Trump to win or lose?

If you think he is legitimately pro-white, pro-male, and/or anti-PC and would be a really competent & decent president who will do a lot of good, of course you want him to win.

If you think he is going to be a joke of president who will make Obama look principled and restrained with stuff like

>sending American troops into stupid wars

>breaking international laws

>killing Edward Snowden

>changing his opinion based on the political winds while spewing constant bullshit

then you obviously do not. It's not only bad in and of itself, but it also reflects badly on your views within the culture.

If you were to go back 10 years, when Bush and Cheney were in power, being progressive was popularly seen as something cool and anti-establishment. There was relatively little of what would be called racism online, other than on Stormfront, VNN, Majority Rights, and a few smaller sites.

Fast forward to today, and pretty much the entire culture of what makes up /pol/ and the contemporary alt-right, for better or worse, blossomed during the Obama administration. Being progressive/liberal is a little embarrassing outside of insular hugboxes like Reddit and Tumblr, and the worst of the progressives, SJWs, are widely reviled across the internet.

The point is that you have to look at the overall effect within a culture.

Not a burger but I'm enjoying this circus, keks are guaranteed for every possible outcome. The next decade will be a very interesting piece of history for US and the rest of the world.

I'm sad he's not running for Emperor of the Americans a la Napoleon.

I think you have to differintiate between what progressive meant ten years ago, and what it means now.

Back then it meant to progress forward within bounds of what sounds logic and is justifiable.

Now it's become a lot more extreme. Something that 10 years ago would've been labled as the extreme far left, is now the standard left.

And to Trump? Well, I'm not a burger but his views on TTPP and TTIP affect me as well, so I'd say it's concerning that he recently started to backpedal on a lot of stuff he used to say, and doesn't condem TPP as a whiole, but only parts of it by now.

Yes, lots of things changed since then, people have to be careful about their speech to not hurt anyone's feelings, because of feminists, trans, gays, minorities, and so on, because "you have the privilege over them"

Trump is not pro-white, he's not even close to white nationalist. He likes americans.

He doesn't mind hispanics, he just wants the main factor of crime out of the country, which is ISIS in refugee disguise, and illegal immigrants from mexico.

Instead of people who bitch about "muh feewings", US needs to stay out of 3rd world shitholes, and care about their own problems first.

Trump's ideas are about caring for americans, deporting crime, and "making america great again" with reforms that will try to stop US from drowning so much in debt.

Therefore, this man needs to be in the office to prove how those ideas work, and i trust him.

>he doesn't mind hispanics

He's literally stated he'd invade and destroy Mexico if they didn't hand over the money for the wall. Spoiler: They can't, their country is a shithole and their money is worth almost nothing (it's lost almost half its value compared to the dollar THIS YEAR). And even if they could, what he's doing boils down to shameless threatening and theft, no better than the criminals he's supposedly building the wall to keep out.

Maybe he doesn't really hate Mexicans and is only pulling out the anti-hispanic train to appeal to stormfags, but that doesn't make him look better. It makes his supporters look worse.

>He's literally stated he'd invade and destroy Mexico

I sincerely doubt that or doubt he meant it. It is very obvious how Mexico will "pay" for the wall.

>if they didn't hand over the money for the wall.

It's going to come out off the aid that is sent to Mexico. The worst thing that happens is Mexico gets no aid at all and gets to fuck itself in the ass.
