No, not really. Trump scares me almost as much as Hilary, but I'm going to remain cautiously optimistic and see what happens in January.

And to everyone who's panicking, remember that the mid-term elections are in two years, so if Trump is criminally terrible it wouldn't be that hard to flip the Senate to the Democrats to get him impeached. Hell, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Republicans would call for impeachment just to clear their name.

Well, the Republicans only have to defend 8 seats in the Senate in 2018, while the Dems have to defend over twenty. They'd need to hold on to pretty all of those and flip most of the GOP seats to have a chance.

I'd like to see more manufacturing jobs in the us, let's see if he does that. He said he would.

Sure he said lots of stuff but they all do when they're running for office. It's kinda hard to believe this pandering though when you consider that he's been outsourcing his stuff for decades and when he was caught about it he just shrugged and smirked. He's full of shit.

Sad day for the US. Hillary sucked but Trump is ridiculously bad.

When he outsourced work, he was a businessman, outsourcing work was his job. Now he is president, creating jobs on home soil is his job.

If he acts on his promises, he could be very good for the US.

All the accusations and hate towards him need to stop. like it or not, he is the president now, its time to give him a chance and see how he does.

Personally I'm excited that the best interests of the president no longer lie with the establishment.

He didn't have to outsource, he wanted to. All he cares about is his brand and making more money. He claimed to wanna make america great again but was caught making it worse. Don't fall for the pandering.

I can still hate and distrust him while accepting that he's going to be president. I don't have any faith in him, but I do hope that he truly does make America great again.

**Dudebro** · 11-09-2016, 03:17 PM

Why should we stop hating someone we think is bad person and working against our interests? Would should we stop accusing him of stuff he might've done? I don't recall anyone stopping when Obama, Bush, Clinton, ect were president. Fuck unity if it means unifying with someone like Trump and his ultra christian VP.

Right, he wanted to because it was good business. Business man is no longer his job description.

I'm not saying you guys should pull some 180 on how you feel about him personally. I'm saying you should show him a bit of support and let him have at least a few months in the white house before you resume the rhetoric.

My point is he didn't care about the average joe or the US economy until he started running for president. He's insincere, it's all just pandering. If he ends up doing it then great but as it stands we have no reason to trust him at his word.

Why? His whole campaign was centered on "US vs Them" and mocking the opposition. Now as soon as he wins we're supposed to show him respect? Sorry but I feel respect is earned. He's gonna have to deliver on some of his vague promises if he wants to win over people that voted against him. It might also help if he started showing some respect for people who don't support him.

How are you not getting my point? Previously, His job was not to care about the average Joe, NOW it is.

He managed to not only beat Hillary, but also all the major news networks, and most of the minor ones, also the big banks, pretty much all universities and colleges... He was attacked at a constant from anyone with a voice. At the start he was being labeled nothing more than a joke, and the sheer amount of McCarthyism surrounding him was unbelievable.

Never in history has a president over come the odds being stacked against them like that, and that to me deserves at least some respect.

He's been attacked at a constant from every direction since the day he announced he was running, and if you feel that should continue, then that's your prerogative, but I feel it's a good time to take a step back and see what he does.

My point is he still doesn't care he's just pandering. If he was honest he'd lose the average joe vote. He's a dishonest piece of shit and he's not gonna change his ways at 70 years old. If your name isn't Trump he doesn't care about you.

He's been attacked from every direction because he's been mean and disrespectful from the start. Like I said before respect is earned. If he really wants to unify the country, which I seriously doubt, then he needs to show us some real change from his campaign antics.

**Uter** · 11-12-2016, 09:59 AM

Although I've been completely opposed to Trump thusfar, there does exist a slim possibility that he happens to be the perfect person for the job, despite his acting like a terrible person in most other ways. I wish he would have put together a bipartisan staff but he's already been walking back some of his stances a little, he did support democrats in the past, and Obama appeared encouraged after they spoke. I'm still extremely skeptical, but optimistic.

**Ballas** · 11-22-2016, 06:12 AM

It seems as if Trump does not like to be proven wrong so I think he will deliver on most of his promises to keep the sceptics at bay... I think he will look after the average Joe in the sense that he can provide them with a job, this will in return give more private tax to the government and in return they can lower company tax to again hopefully employ more people or sell their products to the international marker at better prices.

One of his biggest lies imo. Instead of draining the swamp he filled it even more corrupt bastards. His supporters defending it are pathetic. Someone lies in their face and they happily eat it up.

So now there is a mascot for racist. OK then!

**Slime Slayer** · 06-16-2017, 06:20 PM

I thought that was already Pepe.

**Kugyince** · 06-17-2017, 08:38 AM

Pepe is hardly a racist mascot. He's used by a small fraction of the new Alt-Right political spectrum. As a GamerGate member, you should know better than most not to trust media. They'll take one TINY thing, blow it out of proportion "omg they say the N-word of 4chan!" and use that to invalidate an entire cultural movement.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-17-2017, 02:24 PM

I was kidding. Im fully aware that it was nothing more than 4chan making the media look stupid. Further more I am not a member of gamergate. I've supported the movements efforts in the past, but literally done nothing besides throwing the proverbial thumbs up. Isn't gamergate all blown over now anyway? I haven't heard anything in a long time. From what I can tell the movement has mostly shifted over to combating censorship, and ridiculous decisions to alter content based on not wanting to offend snowflakes.

**George Riley** · 06-18-2017, 09:06 AM

The only reason for the uproar is because Donald Trump Jr. used Pepe. It was a mistake for the media to go after Trump's kids. Truth be told, Donald Trump himself said WAY more than enough stupid things to stay focused on.

**Kong** · 06-19-2017, 12:25 AM

What type of content is altered in modern games? Anything besides drugs, violence, sex, and 7 words?

Conservatives love to call liberals snowflakes but it seems hypocritical since conservative christian republicans are nearly always the ones that get butt hurt over other people having free choice and demand censorship and laws to protect and project their personal values.

----

Liberals love to make fun of Trump's hands, skin, hair, and family. Very hypocritical. They would flip out if anyone else was treated like that. Trump's actions are a big enough joke all on their own, no need to also call him orange. How is that different than making fun of Obama for being black or Hillary for being a woman.

Although his 3 oldest kids are kind of fair game. They want to play.

Those things are all fine besides sex, and that is one of the major ones. They can't stand the idea of women wearing scanty outfits, and they take to social media in droves to pressure and shame devs into altering content. In a lot of cases they've been successful. They also like to complain if the lead character is a white male, heaven forbid a dev gear a game toward their key demographic right? It goes beyond the simplicity of what I am explaining here and spills over into lunacy though, there was a ridiculous movement to get Link in the new Zelda to magically be girl.

Now I should clarify, I have no issue with any game having any characters, be it white, black, male, female and anything in between. The problem I have is the pressure being put on devs to conform to a small minority's complaints. Games are art, no dev should ever feel pressure to make decisions based on trying to please anyone besides themselves. If a user does not like the decisions a dev has made, then they should play something else.
