i'll respond to these 1-by-1
then I'm gonna do my stats make up work
1b. Your gross overgeneralization of those who attempt to flee their country without going through the excruciating methods for obtaining a green as "shitty" is both inherently racist and misinformed. The process of legal immigrization is expensive, time-consuming, and actually has been developed to the point where the assessments require you to have US policy knowledge most COPS and POLITICIANS don't.
BUT
Let's assume every immigrant is a rapist-murderer and this scourge must be stopped. HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT A WALL AGAINST MEXICO?
If you're stupid enough to believe Trump will make Mexico pay, please don't breed
"Look, I don't like Hillary and I know she's a warmonger and an oil tycoon, but the fact is
A. A Trump presidency would IMMEDIATELY destroy foreign relations so most of those billions going to our military are now wasted. If we piss off enough countries we are TOAST. We NEED our allies. Don't be cocky.
B. A lot of these arguments seem to think that Trump will follow through with his policies. He won't. If you REALLY think Congress will support a wall or a holocaust-for-muslims, YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT. SERIOUSLY DID YOUR DUMB FUCKING ASS THINK HE WAS BEING TRUTHFUL?! What Trump will do immediately upon entering office is dismantle any sort of corporate regulations, outlaw the unions, and do as much as he can to make the monopoly the most common form of market. No more worker's rights. Say goodbye to job security. We will economically collapse within the next 50 years after a Trump presidency, or we will all just be fucking SLAVES thanks to his policies.
A Hillary presidency, while detrimental to a smaller degree FoPo wise, would be more of the milquetoast shit Obama calls "social progressivism."
4. I don't think Trump will start nuclear war, I'm far, far, FAR more concerned about what he'll do to workers and industry in terms of Domestic Policy. I HIGHLY DOUBT he'd start nuclear war, but we WILL make a few enemies overseas which could be a catalyst to nuclear war.
5. You are absolutely right here, Hillary's backtracking and pandering is her weakpoint by a wide, wide margin. I don't think the words that come out of your mouth define your presidency tho...
Also to add to 5, Trump's vulgarity is rather unprofessional and could put strain on foreign negotiation
*s
7. You are an idiot.
I will prefact this argument thrice by calling you an idiot.
You are an idiot.
A lot of you Trump supporters seem to enjoy Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid, you fucking hypocrites, but I'm not gonna include them in these numbers.
The federal welfare budget has been $668 billion. That may seem like a lot but just think, THINK, how much do the Koch brothers and the other major CEOs of the country save through money laundering, overseas accounts and fraudulent accounting? There's many other ways they bypass taxes or otherwise get richer but the point is made.
If you think poor people are the reason your wages are low, YOU FAIL BASIC LOGIC.
Mr. Smith using $9 in food stamps is not the fucking problem idiot. It's the corporations that take MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF TAX CUTS.
A local example for you: In Boston, we are giving GE a $25000000 tax break for moving here. Where the FUCK do you think that tax break is coming from?
6. Why don't you look at historical business practices, eh? I don't support taxing the middle class more, fyi, since I don't believe they really exist anymore.
The rich CAN take a tax increase. You think they're spending the extra money on EXPANSION? HA!
A funny figure, the McD CEO once whined how if he sacrificed his whole salary, each worker would get 1 cent more. Based on that logic, he can DEFINITELY take a paycut, just a fraction of his MILLIONS and, instead of giving it to workers, give it to starving fucking children. If he took $6 million out of his $8 million he'd still be filthy stinking rich and now kids all over the world are fucking fed.
8. Trump is in debt. He's declared bankruptcy multiple times. This argument is based off of an idiot reading website.
Trump's business skills do NOT equate to fiscal policy skills
that's like apples and... pears
bro seriously... what dumbass wrote these arguments?
9. You have absolutely no idea how progressive taxation works and you need to take classes.
9b. This is just more strawman judgemental bullshit, because everyone who's poor is lazy amirite
10. A "living wage" would, most likely, cover just food, shelter and other necessities, and there would be very strict regulations on how these handouts work. I highly doubt any government is going to just give assloads of cash to someone unemployed just because.
ok i'm done
whoever wrote these arguments
must think that Bernie is a flat-out communist
what an idiot
just read the other picture, this guy seriously seems to think the only aspect of government is money...
he sounds like he lives in a trailer park
Anyways, I can forward whatever you say to him.
