    An interesting thing is happening on AMT.
    Forever members have been steadfast about spewing anti-establishment.
    There is a candidate that is everything non-establishment who is gaining power and momentum.
    The diehard gov't protesters finally have a non-govt guy and they don't like what it is.
    The people who don't vote have no voice and are irrelevant.
    The anti-establishment people who do vote can't help but be blindsided by trump.
    It is like watching voters running on ice. Going everywhere but nowhere at the same time.

    Charles Manson is anti establishment, but I wouldn't vote for him.

    Nothing wrong with being anti-establishment. But if you're also a racist xenophobe that lies constantly, spews hate daily, and acts like an immature kindergartener as well as pushing your supporters to be accepting of being hateful racists than NO being anti-establishment is not okay.

    Again,
    We have a candidate that is everything but establishment.

    Is that the standard you set for yourself?
    No.
    You make you political opinions known, so will others. Telling them to get out and run is deflecting attention away from the point to which you don't have a counter argument.

    You make your political opinions known so you can get others to be onboard with you and hopefully enact some change. To do this someone needs to run with the idea.
    If you are not in the running with an idea that no one else has you have zero voice.

    With all the dialoge surrounding race in the past year or so, Trump is serving as a spotlight in the darker corners of America. Exposing us for who and how we still are o can be.

    Read about this in the article that follows. Just what we need, a freaking Nazi leader with a bunch of crazed zealots giving the Sieg Heil hand sign.

    ...or even outright saying it:

    http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/12/15/supporter_yells_sieg_heil_toward_black_protester_at_trump_rally.html

    This country may not be full of racists, bigots and idiots, but there are enough to raise big concerns. How did we get here?
