Don't worry, so is Donald Trump, but a wall simply worked better on the campaign trail. A border wall one upped the border fence dudes with a more imposing mental image that made Trump seem like the toughest option on border security. A wall just seems tougher and more permanent than a fence, which makes the wall a more formidable mental image that captures people's imaginations when they have nothing else to fill in the blanks. So naturally most of the electorate came to view Trump as the tough guy on border security with the border wall mental image working in his favor.Martin Hash wrote:p.s. I was always a "Fence" guy.

So we can all agree that Trump has totally cucked out right? Fuck this guy. Time to check out on politics. Maybe that was the goal all along... "there is a movement building, let's crush the hope of these clowns"

As attractive as that is (Does CLT end up in Appalachia in your seccession map? I am on the outskirts, so we are still heavily armed and loaded with tobacco like all good NC boys should be) I think I would be wasting my time. Apparently even the most outsider candidate we have had in a very long time is flipped within a few months. We would break off, everything would be fine for a few days, then all of a sudden every small business would be required to have a zhe bathroom.Look into secession movements.
Edit: you guys are quick

How did secession work out for Rome again? You're like an Eastern Roman saying fuck the Western Romans right now. In the end though, a good chunk of both fall to Islam. Great solution.Speaker to Animals wrote:Why should I give a fuck about that?
