    The true answer is nothing will change. Been like this for years. Doesn't matter who the president is. Nothing really changes.

    I hope so! I think the GOP is a relic of a bygone age.

    I want a pro human advancement and preservation party emphasizing space travel to take its place.

    Beside this being a troll question, police are run at the local level. Who is president makes absolutely no difference to us and won't change things either way.

    I don't know how the US government is operated, but I often hear the US president doesn't have nearly as much power as a Prime Minister in the parliamentary system. If this is the case then what exactly does the President do?

    True. You you can't just change things overnight.

    If he wins though we'll be the laughingstock of the world with a political system that is a total farce.

    It seemed to work with Obama But I do wish term limits were a thing. Even if it was like, 4 terms max type of thing.

    If Trump wins, reality will hit him hard and we will have another useless president in the white house.

    The biggest things he does are: approve or veto legislation, command the military, and call Congress to meet in a session.

    I don't know, I find it difficult to sit in judgement of people who have to deal with the absolute dregs of society on a day to day basis. I was incensed like everyone else with all the stories of unarmed people being shot, but eventually I came to realize the narrative was being pushed by people of privilege who consider being called a mean name grounds for acquiring PTSD.

    When I lived in the Bronx, there were two types of neighborhoods: the first one being where people took some amount of pride in where they lived and kept the streets clean, the latter being neighborhoods where people let dogs crap all over the sidewalk. When you heard gunshots at night, they almost always came from the direction of the neighborhoods where people simply didn't give a damn. People who I knew that had lived there for decades had become so cynical that they simply called those people 'animals', something that a naive person who has lived a life of protected privilege would automatically call racist.

    I also don't see many of the younger crowd who criticize police lining up to become police officers so they can change the system from within, so there is that. Maybe Trump would be a good thing for policing, if he was still able to talk without a PC filter he might start to shed light on things our society refuses to have a serious discussion about.
    Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
    Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

    Isn't there enough Trump threads?

    Anyways I don't see how Trump will have a major effect on our police force. The biggest problem he would create is in international relations.

    They have an image there (didn't want to hotlink it) that shows how the US government's power is distributed. It was set up that way to prevent a dictatorship, but the problem is that Congress ended up with a little too much weight, and therefore power, considering there are 435 members of the house, and 100 in the senate, and a bill has to pass with a majority in BOTH to even reach the presidents desk.

    The president can issue an Executive Order, but they're generally only used in an emergency, and the POTUS generally requests permission from congress first (but not always), and doing so generally puts them in a bad light.

    Well they are called "illegal immigrants" for a reason, we do allow people to come in "legally" through a vetting process. Which for the past 100 years, people have gone through this "legal process" like everyone else to become "legally" US citizens.
