Trump Won! How do you think this affects Prepping?

Why do you believe that Hillary Clinton would have caused these kind of major problems?

Basically, she's in the pocket of those who are typically behind the scenes. And these guys don't like nations like Russia trying to go against Rothschild based banks, etc. Trump has more threat tendencies than actual war hawk (and wants any war we get into, to actually BENEFIT us in some way).

The other issue, is Clinton's very public anti-gun stance. Allowing her to appoint one, maybe even 3 SCOTUS justices, is just not something that needed to happen.

I could care less about her email scandal. For me, the whole taking money for political favors, from foreign powers unfriendly to the US, while she was SoS, is basically treason, and THAT I have an issue with. Add to that, getting CAUGHT rigging the DNC primary, her dubious health (collapsing on the campaign trail, anti-seizure glasses), and then the rather blatant use of a political decoy after the fall....and it just adds up to not my choice for POTUS. And the icing on this crap cake...the fact that she is completely in the pocket of big banks, big pharma, etc.

Now, Trump may be great, or he may be an utter disaster. In some ways, he's a horrible person (sexist, misogamist, etc.), but from most accounts of those who know him (and the acts that seem to get buried by the press, such as using his jet to fly soldiers to their families, or other random acts of kindness)...he's a decent guy.

Thing is, he has something driving him to actually do good. His own branding, and ego. It simply won't let him fail...
This endless speculation on just what a Trump presidency will be is just ridiculous. 6 months in, THEN lets look at it..but protesting him before he's even sworn in...just ridiculous.

If any are thinking the political decoy bit is just conspiracy nonsense...it really isn't. Comparing the two on that day easily shows multiple points of MAJOR difference between the decoy and the real Hillary. The decoy's neck was far less wrinkled, her hairline was completely different, nose slightly different in the nostril area, ears different (architecture of indentation in the bottom of the ear), and slope of the eyebrows differed. As a portrait artist, the two were night and day different to me, and this isn't even considering the decoy looked 10 years younger, and 20 lbs lighter than the Hillary we saw 90 minutes earlier at the 9/11 service.

Now I'm not saying that the Danish system is more democratic than the American political system

I mean, I'm here sitting so far away from America, and I haven't experienced your elections first hand myself... but I can say this... that most Danes don't see the American system as a very Democratic one... I heard a joke about the American two party system the other day, and it goes like this: "Only two political parties? Well, that's nearly communism to me..." - Danish standup comedian Jan Gintberg

That is correct, the American political system is NOT a democracy, it is a Representative Republic.

Here is what some of the founders of the country thought about democracies:

"Democracy is the most vile form of government. ... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property: and have in general been as short in their lives as the have been violent in their deaths."
— James Madison (1751-1836) Father of the Constitution, 4th President of the U. S.

We are a Republic. Real Liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of Democracy.”
— Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) Lawyer, Secretary of the Treasury & Secretary of State


“Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy; such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit, and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable [abominable] cruelty of one or a very few.”
— John Adams (1797-1801) Second President of the United States and Patriot

“A democracy is a volcano, which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption, and carry desolation in their way.”
— Fisher Ames (1758-1808) Founding Father and framer of the First Amendment to the Constitution

"Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine percent."
— Thomas Jefferson, Author of the Declaration of Independence, 3rd President of the U. S.

“Pure democracy cannot subsist long nor be carried far into the departments of state, it is very subjet to caprice and the madness of popular rage.”
— John Witherspoon (1722-1794) Educator, Economist, Minister, Writer & Founding Father

"The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to be liberty."
— Fisher Ames (1758-1808) Founding Father and framer of the First Amendment to the Constitution

“We have seen the tumults of democracy terminate, in France, as they have everywhere terminated, in despotism.”
— Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816) Statesman, Diplomat, writer of the final draft of the Constitution

The Americans gave up the right to use the word DEMOCRACY in a domestic context the day the American Civil War started. When the southern states DEMOCRATICALLY voted to leave the Union and the North refused to accept the democratic wishes of the south was the last time they could claim to be free and democratic. Not that its any better in a Parliamentary Democracy because its rigged to a point that even a national referendum can be ignored. Same in Holland recently as well.

The US is two wolves and a sheep deciding on whats for dinner.
