Simply put, Trump would save the America we love.
Less simply put, this isn't a battle between democrats and republicans, this is between self expression and holding your tongue, which is much more important.
Nationalism vs Globalism
It is clear that Hillary is a global player and has many favors due around the world. Everyone knows this, and pretty much accepts this as fact. Donald Trump is a successful old man that wants his country to be proud and stand on its own. There is no reason I have seen to believe anything else. In fact, I think he would rather have his "country back" than actually be in power. Which is why I think he should be king, but that'll come later.
War on Men: Natural Instincts
It has become clearer than ever since the 'grabbing' commments that this is also drawn on gender lines. I would say ever since 2010-ish we really have been villifying what it means to be a man. We are laughed at, mocked, shamed for simply existing. The endless tweets about stopping 'locker room talk' are evidence enough that the majority of society has turned on men. As a note, only 20% of society are men. 30% of males and 10% of women. And that is just a result of where we are in society. The need for a man has largely been erased as far as what the normal person sees. We are protected by government, they act as man now, food is not scarce. So what am I complaining about?
One thing is the arrogance to which so called liberals address the scary state of many males around the country looking around and feeling useless, feeling like dinosaurs in society. Garages full of tools and heads full of knowledge that can't be passed down to their progeny simply because it is not appreciated. Media, feminists and numales make this seem like 'they had it coming' 'it's our turn now'. This is the 2010 tipping point where the progressive argument took a vengeful turn, it was clear they had won, but the 'fucking white males' need not simply be defeated, but eat all the shit off the ground too.
And this is exactly what will continue to happen with Clinton. She will continue to ban bossy and promote black girl magic while shaming any man that has a criticism of any trans women of color. Now, I could get on board with this if we as humans could truly adapt to a man less, daddy-govt society. But here's the thing, reality has a conservative bias. Women will always like manly men, and men will always like manly men. Man is the outer wall of culture, the edge of creation and innovation. And by man I don't mean penis, any female can be a man, it is just a character. Hell, I don't think I am a man yet.
And what happens when this wall is weakened and fails? Bye bye culture, hello another remake of Star Wars. Hello silencing dissent in University so no one feels threatened.
The other reason I am wary about this elimination of toxic masculinity is the reality that nothing lasts forever. We use more energy and resources than the Sun can replace in a year. Eventually all the slaves we have overseas will decide they want to be middle class and stop making our shirts. To put it simply, this bubble has to burst, even a little. We need the common man to be able to build a house with his bare hands, wire a light fixture, change his oil. We should not assume we will always have google Alexa and Siri on our side. What happens when Siri finds out we don't support HB2? Apple is well within their rights to revoke service to that deplorable. For me, I was convinced to vote for Trump once both parties decided to distance themselves from him. He was free, able to do the thing that got him this far; being honest with what is on his mind. To me, he now represents a final strike against liberal desensitizing from what actually makes the world go round and the escape to ideal and short sighted platitudes.
Hillary is Not A Liberal
It was pretty clear to me exactly what Hillary was when it came time to pick her Vice President. After severely skewing things in her favor for the primary, she then completely spurned all the Bernie energy coming from her party and skipped over Sanders, who for some reason felt the need to endorse her, and even my girl Elizabeth Warren for VP. She went centrist as heck with Kaine. Hillary is the government already and that is why she truly appeals to the feminine. Everything will keep on keeping on. Do not worry about having to adjust anything in your life, just keep watching Broad City and posting on Instagram. Send your boys off to fight Russia for Syria for some unknown reason, keep feeding your children processed corn in different shapes, and watch sad YouTube videos to feel good about yourself. Because you are stronger together.
Hillary Got too Cocky
While Hillary has been nothing but a Stone Cold Fox in the 3 debates, playing Trump perfectly, she got too confident in the 2nd Debate. She knew she was gonna snatch the election easily and started looking ahead. Her months and months of demonizing Russia made sense all of a sudden. She seriously started sabre-rattling for military action surrounding Syria and mostly Russia. The vibes I got shot me back to 2002. and that really did it for me. No more of that!!
Will Journalism Become Truly Multifaceted?
This entire season, all of big media has had a clear liberal bias and an obvious anti-Trump sentiment. I get that in the beginning it seemed like a big stunt for him (and still could be) and people were just laughing. But the energy directed at this man for over a year has been overwhelming. He has used this to his advantage some of the time, but such a dog-pile on one guy will back fire. And you see it with alternative news channels becoming pretty popular and actually pushing the narrative. The big news corporations are relegated to re-covering what smaller guys are pushing first.
So how would the big guys bring eyes back to their sites? Stop the rhetoric. Put out well written news stories. They dont have to bash anyone or bait anyone. Be boring for a while and get it right. 24 Hour news has been used and abused like crazy by the Trump campaign to show what a cancer it is. He didn't have to pay a cent for his campaign during primary season because he fed the newsies with juicy headline after headline.
We Don't Need a Pat on the Back, But a Kick in the Butt
I'm probably talking more to my fellow coloreds but really everyone. You know what happens when you know there is nothing about to be given to you? You go and take it. I want to see Black Architecture in my lifetime. And you know what it takes for that to happen? No, not affirmative action, but people staying in their locale and improving the situation around them. Build up business, foster skill building, no more saying the system doesn't understand you, make your own system. Build up patterns of living, traditions, furniture, fashion, holidays, and lastly homes with distinct programs.
Maybe Trump could galvanize American spirit thereby healing deepening racial tensions. Probably a stretch.
Trump has Found a Way to Destroy the 2 Party System
Many have tried and failed. Perot, Nader, Paul. But Trump has played enough 34-D Underwater Mah-Jong to completely turn the 2 parties on their heads. The entire campaign I am led to believe this man has undermined the entire system. Just let it sink in that he has never held office and he is shooting straight for the presidency!
I knew something was going to have to be done after the 2012 election. Mitt Romney did not seem like he had any of the energy that Ron Paul was able to conjure up. What Paul offered was so different to what the Republican party had become. Paul's arguments made the RNC and DNC look mostly the same. I really thought with the Tea Party Movement, Occupy Wall Street, and Ron Paul's campaign, that the Republican Party would recognize this shift from USA as World Police, to USA standing on its own for the people. Essentially embracing a libertarian element. I guess the Christian base holds it back from completely going there.
But there was energy, and Trump started his campaign with Ron Paul's energy. He made a point of not promising to support the eventual nominee if he wasn't chosen. He eventually did, but interestingly enough, the other guys went back on their promise. He complains of the government as a whole, playing the system. He has been fairly criticized for being a secret democrat. Everyone knows he isn't a 'real' Republican. And after months of building faith in that party, the 'pussy' comments came out and his party bailed. It was so perfect you would think he leaked the video himself (he's been accused of doing similar).
Trump now positions himself against both traditional parties, with regular, rural and urban American behind him. Hillary actually has helped a lot with this, in the way she used every trick in the book to 'beat' Bernie. And she can't stop being corrupt, she can't even simply have a sick day without it being lied about. She has played the role perfectly of much wrong with the establishment.
With this ruptured system, will competent parties be able to get over the hump? I would love it if we could get a representational system in place like the UK.
Trump as King
I don't think it is possible to imagine Trump as president because he does not want to be president. In all honesty, I think the president is good for little more than morale cheerleading. And Trump is perfect for the job. Compare the way Trump has run his campaign versus Clinton. Trump is simply much more positive and motivational, whereas Clinton has ran her entire campaign on fear and 'trust me'. I went to the Trump rally in Charlotte and was very impressed with how well Trump worked the room. He made a bit about the TelePrompter not working and turned it into an example of 'not taking it anymore' and holding people accountable for their quality of product.
Let's toss out all the policy. Which candidate would you want more? The one who motivates you to demand more of yourself and others around you, or the one who says it's the bad guys fault and you don't need to lift a finger. That's the gender divide again.
Now, back to the whole monarchy thing, I had a college professor that brought this idea up in urban planning, and it has stuck with me. America is entirely too big to be a representative democracy. What we need is a king and regional heads. Just look at how close the elections have been and how divided the country is, there is no way federal laws can cover the wide array of morals represented.
God-Emperor Trump's Rule
I think he would transfer most of his power to the states and be our cheerleader.
Trumps Imperial Rule, or the fear thereof, will push people to focus much more on local elections. This is the real democracy. I think we all know by now the presidential election is way too big to have your voice heard. So, liberals and conservatives alike will be excited to examine and elect officials representing their city.
In an ideal situation, Trump would give states more rights, and create regions. Probably 10 formed from conglomerates of like-minded and geographically close areas. e.g. TexArkAna, California, NorthWest, The New Confederacy, Florida and the Caribs, Great Lakes, Heartland, New England, New Yorksylvania, the Black Union of City-States and Washington DC. This system enables people to move to where they 'belong'.
Trump has built his case for bringing jobs back to America. Will this energy translate into not just big companies making things local, but consumers truly committed to buying local? Could Trump bring back Local Culture? Will small businesses actually gain points for being small? I am wary about this one, Trump seems to love big business, so I am not sure, but the seeds are there, waiting to be sowed. Just look at all the breweries and little shops. Look at fashion. It is all about this rustic 'sense of belonging' in an area. It is all about putting in actual work, or at least looking like you do (looking at you faded screen printed shirts and ripped jeans).
Energy
And I am not talking about renewable or fossil fuel. Look at Hillary versus Trump's twitter. For the most part Trump has positive things to say. He motivates people to take charge of their selves. Hillary is all about fear. She shames and fear mongers. Thought policing is real in her universe.
As I mentioned before the presidency is mostly about cheerleading. During the rally in Charlotte, the speakers went out. The people in the crowd were all pointing and trying to get his attention. This seems small, but they were motivated to tell their leader about a problem immediately with the intention of him fixing it right away. And he did. I believe a Trump candidacy would be much more transparent than a Clinton (just think about the email thing).
Expression
Trump has been a campaign running a campaign on being politically incorrect, CLEARLY has resonated. As a creative, this part is really the single issue I would vote for. Policing thought immediately scares away artistic breakthroughs and new forms of self actualizing. Trump has shown he really doesn't care about sexuality, religion, or lifestyle choice. He just likes winners. What is wrong with wanting to win personally?
Trump is inspirational in a kind of a way, he could be written as the traditional 'Cinderella Americana' story. Despite the whole born rich thing. He can inspire others to have wild dreams because his whole candidacy has been wild.
Endnote - Just Think of the Wall!
Scott Adams has wrote about this, and gave me this idea. Imagine the best American Architect building a Southern Bullet Train, faster than any in Europe or Japan, from the Florribean to the California Republic with Museums, Trade Schools, Tex-Mex Fesitvals.... and a Glorious Door. More Iconic than the Statue of Liberty!!
