Sorry destabilize the US government? Destabilize over the 2 options they ALWAYS have? Oh sorry you have a Republican government now. What a destabilization.

So in conclusion the only dangerous thing in that election is the fact that Trump could be blackmailed. And Hillary can't be blackmailed?

Hilarious.

-- thanks for the downvotes.

Please don't use HN for partisan flamewar, it's seriously destructive of the site. Regardless of which side you're supporting or opposing.

Neither supporting or opposing any side. How is this a threat to HN?
It lowers discussion quality badly and provokes others into lowering it further.
There are actually more than two options you know, at one point there were 17 nominees on the republican side.

Out of all those 17, the biggest idiot won, and now you want to take away the best excuse for this fracas that the elites have come up with?

I think the fact that the orange one is an idiot is pretty dangerous in and of itself, completely independent of however easy he is to be manipulated.

This is the logical step I've never been to follow and I am open to understanding. If Trump, the GOP. and all of his supporters are idiots, how did they win? If the liberals and liberal candidates were so smart, why did they lose so badly? It seems it would be easy to control a mass of idiots. I'm not trying to flame, I've never been able to follow this logic and am interested in how others view it
They aren't idiots. That's a big generalization to make. There are idiots on both sides as well as very smart people. Bad guys and good guys.
I completely agree. I think the outcome of event proves that. I am interested on how this generalization can be so pervasive in the media and among internet communities despite the democrats getting blown away in the presidential, congressional, and state elections
