The conservatives have the alternative race card down to a science as well - the "those damn non-whites" card. Within hours of the shooting in Virginia, there was an article on Breitbart News claiming that the shooting was "racially motivated".
The democrats get votes by claiming that all bad things are because of racism. The republicans get votes by claiming that all bad things are because of other races.
Personally, if this election comes down to Trump vs. Clinton, I'm burning my fucking passport, because neither of them are even remotely qualified to run the country.
Hillary should be standing trial for letting classified information lay around on a personal e-mail server. Let's also not forget, since this is a forum about gaming, that Hillary was always at the forefront of the push to blame all violence on video games. She ate up Jack Thompson's shit with a shovel, for fuck's sake.
Trump, on the other hand, generally appears to conduct himself online much in the same fashion I do - in a childish, petty, and thoroughly unprofessional manner. The only difference is I'm self-aware enough to recognize that I sure as fuck shouldn't ever be POTUS. The problem is, Trump is leading in the polls precisely because although the GOP doesn't want to admit it, he appeals directly to the Joe Sixpack Conservative voter in the way he conducts himself.
The idea of it coming down to Trump vs. Clinton is fucking terrifying.
