Is that a shot from a low budget horror movie
This is driving a news cycle related to who becomes the next US president.

Warning: if the existence of this woman was not previously known to you your world is a better place than mine and you should not sully it.
There was, once upon a time, a game called F.E.A.R . This is very close to what you see there. Even thinking it is actually real is high-octane nightmare fuel.This is driving a news cycle related to who becomes the next US president.

Oh it's moved on to him wanting to feck dolphins, man.
A day is a long time in politics
Its not. All of that is cringe as hell.Is it any different to footballers taking a staged call from their new manager? Or when getting a call telling them they have been picked for their national team?
Could be interpreted a lot of ways, but given all his other authoritarian comments - probably should be causing alarm. Not that it will in any way cost him any voters.
He keeps telling everyone the plan, like a bond villain, and people keep ignoring it. It is quite extraordinary.
It's not even news, its a 'skit' for goodness sake, a take on how Obama held back on his support!Don't put words into quotes that he didn't say.
Fake News.
You weirdo.
It's not even my dumbest take of today
So you think the increased emphasis on popularity and looking appealing has done well for world politics? Policy has become almost entirely irrelevant in elections. You can defraud the entire working class, but put a few soundbites on Twitter with a picture of you holding a pickaxe and people will lap it up. People are being elected for the wrong reasons, because the only goal is to get as many votes as possible from whomever possible.
Obviously politicians shouldn't actively disuade people from voting, but I think if only people who cared about actual politics voted, the world would be a better place. If it's just one side doing it, it's obviously moot, since that side will just lose. Putting some sort of restrictions on voting, ike only white heterosexual male landowner as the founding fathers thought prudent, is also wrong for obvious reasons so that just leaves this. I'm also somehow wording this as if populism is new, it's not obviously.
My son is 14 in 8 years, if he says stuff like this I'd be kind of proud by the way.
Come to think of it, "Politicians should stop getting people without interest in politics to vote." is perhaps poorly worded. Politicians should stop seeing the accumulation of votes as their end goal maybe?
Politicians should stop getting people without interest in politics to vote. They know feck all about what they're voting for anyway. Might as well just try and have just the people who really care about it vote.

Don't know about me being a weirdo, you seem like a bit of a dumbo.
But have nice day!
People who "really care" about politics are among the most insane groups of voters. Lower turnout elections don't lead to more rational or objective results (whatever that would even mean), but to insane reactionary bullshit.So you think the increased emphasis on popularity and looking appealing has done well for world politics?

Yeah far more likely the fascist doesn't want to implement fascism you say?Bizarre.
Could imply that he plans to implement an autocracy.
But more likely he just wants them out to vote for him because in 4 years time, he doesn't give a feck who wins, as he doesn't really care about the Republican party or the country .
Unless he loses and runs again in 2028. Which you know he will if he loses.
It's not that he doesn't want, but more that he wouldn't say it out loud.Yeah far more likely the fascist doesn't want to implement fascism you say?
He always says it out loud.It's not that he doesn't want, but more that he wouldn't say it out loud.
Yeah let’s give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, it’s the least he deserves.Bizarre.
