It may be the one thing that finally rips this country apart. The land is beautiful and the people are great, but the corruption must end. If Trump can actually back his words up with action we would see a lot of angry people. Civil disobedience would be displayed more and more until it isn't just individual acts, but mass civil disobedience. Once we reach the point where the masses are so large the government can be shut down and rebuilt.

We should find out. Trump 2016. If he doesn't have any power than no harm, right?
My fellow Americans, we have a chance to sink ourselves and destroy our reputation throughout the world. Let's do what's right and make this happen.

So your voting for Trump because you think he will such a terrible President that the people will rise up. The problem with that is the Presidents powers are very limited. While Trump may not understand what role the Constitution, Congress and the Courts play, he will quickly find out he can not do much on his own. And if he looks to be damaging the GOP through his actions Congress would quickly impeach him. Al that being said, Trump is entertaining but, when people get serious about voting he will not make it through the primaries.

Politics isn't a popularity contest! They don't care what the electorate wants; only the corporate elite can influence politicians with $$$. How is that gonna change? Capitalism is inherently corrupt....money talks and BS walks!
Mass Civil Disobedience....really?
I'ts gonna be Jeb in 16...wanna bet?
The Great Deformation is a searing look at Washington’s craven response to the recent myriad of financial crises and fiscal cliffs. It counters conventional wisdom with an eighty-year revisionist history of how the American state—especially the Federal Reserve—has fallen prey to the politics of crony capitalism and the ideologies of fiscal stimulus, monetary central planning, and financial bailouts. These forces have left the public sector teetering on the edge of political dysfunction and fiscal collapse and have caused America’s private enterprise foundation to morph into a speculative casino that swindles the masses and enriches the few.
