Half of America wants to vote for trump and you want to trust in random people? That seems like a wild leap of faith.
You already trust these people today. They run/own many large corporations today which dramatically affect our lives in multitude of ways. Except today we can't get remove them from these positions of power under the current system.
It's thanks to this in part that your aunt keeps indulging her imaginary pain when she thinks about your lifestyle.
It's more like 30% and that's with Americans being some of the most wildly mis-educated people out there. I'm sick of seeing sortition shit, but sicker still of misanthropy.
Okay, would you rather the Germans who voted AFD? Or the rise of the French National Party? Or Fidesz in Hungary? Or PPV in Denmark?
AfD polls lower than Trump, did any of those others poll higher?
Afd just won a third of the vote.
You would like control of some industry ti maybe just go the far right?
Around 30% tops but more importantly what do those trump supporters want? The exact same things you do, they just believe different causes for the problems we all see and thus have wildly different solutions.
Shit, you'd better tell that to my aunt who told me how my lifestyle hurts her.
Cool have you done the work to find out why she thinks that way or what she actually wants? No? Great talk little buddy.
Youngling, she's a hard Catholic. If you can't imagine why a lifestyle would offend a hard Catholic, well, that's on you.
Maybe it's on me, since the Catholic belief is that gay marriage is okay, and you shouldn't treat them differently or try to change them. We're at least three popes deep on that stance now.
Long and hard and bitter laugh in Polish
Yeah, you might want to look into current Catholic doctrine:
