It's odd because Trump was throwing and slinging just as much mud and it wasn't just against Clinton. | ||

It's odd because Trump was throwing and slinging just as much mud and it wasn't just against Clinton. His mudslinging regarding the polls was apparently correct. The fact that he praised them when they showed him on the rise slightly means very little, as they were still relatively inaccurate compared to the actual results despite the slight sway in his favour. | ||

Ya know, if Obama proposed that his family become our royal family tomorrow, the proposal would get a lot of traction. We could even run the election every four years, and as long as we still like Obama better than whoever wins them, we can keep him around. | ||

Isn't your populist anti-Islamisation movement stronger than that in the US? I mean, it's actually a relevant issue in NL and not just a scapegoat. Edit: Not fair to call it a scapegoat in the US. But it affects more people on a daily basis in NL. | ||

It definitely no longer JUST represent "being open to new ideas" if you include that particular group. What? For one the term neoliberal isn't even used by actual liberals. It's the left in the US who hijcaked the term and made it something else than it is. It has also never been just 'being open to new ideas'. For the people thinking about buying financial assets now, what specifically are you looking at? Looks like the biggest panic has already settled so it might already be too late.

Our political landscape is very fractured at the moment and coalitions will always have to be formed. Not to mention that after the last disaster that was Wilders supporting a government nobody wants to rule with him anymore. | ||

Not to mention it dates back all the way to 2002, and who knows what would've happened if Fortuyn wasn't assassinated in the week before the elections. For people who find Trump repulsive there are many superior choices to The Netherlands. | ||

Looks like the biggest panic has already settled so it might already be too late. Taxes going down, most likely FED will keep the level instead of raising it, massive investment in infrastructure. Buy everything and be ready to sell when Trump announces that he will nuke Mexico city if they dont pay for the wall. | ||

Yeah I realized afterwards that his mention of the word "liberal" was something else entirely and probably had little to do with any political persuasion. Perhaps "broad-minded" is a better description of that definition of "liberal" rather than the political "liberalism". | ||

The Obamacare that is a failed way of getting health care for everyone? Trump never said he will vanish Obamacare, he will "replace" it. Whatever it means, it is a chance. Lets see if it works out. The same-sex marriage will stay as it is, even with one new guy in the supreme court. How does he want to repeal it when the SOTUS said it must exist? Impossible fearmongering. Every healthcare system in the world is progressively hurting, people are getting older and sicker. The affordable care act is not perfect and needs to be improved upon but it's definitely better than what was in place before it, ask any health care professional. A single payer system most likely was the best option but the idea was never even on the table because of the republicans. I don't see how electing Trump is going to help in any way shape or form the current healthcare status of the US. As for the impossible fearmongering, maybe same-sex marriage is a bad example, but what about abortion rights or preemptive care? They definitely impact the lives of many and are already suffering from a lot of assault. | ||
