Topic: Talk Trump, not games

Mega Hitler? Now we need someone to create a Hitler in a Mega Man suit image to complete things.

I think people are just sick and tired of the electoral college overriding the will of the majority popular vote.

We didn't choose Trump. And now we're stuck with a goblin that 3 million more people than voted for him didn't want.

We saw it happen in 2000 in favor of the right and now it's happened again. Things need to change so that he vote of the public actually matters.

Good for Kurt using his platform to speak his mind.

The electoral college exists to prevent any one area of the country from choosing the president. California, NYC, and Minneapolis don't speak for the everyman farmers and blue collar workers outside of major cities.

Regardless, tweeting to your video game audience about your butthurt is (a) annoying and (b) accomplishes nothing, because Kurt going out on a women's march won't mean Trump is magically no longer president, and you're not reaching a new audience with whiny protests. Try to convert people, make them see your point of view, rather than mocking those who disagree with you, because all you're doing then is shouting to the wind.

Put it this way, Belmontoya: If you followed a gaming site on Twitter and anytime in the last eight years they made political rants about Obama, would you put up with it? I couldn't stand Obama, but all the same I would gripe about and unfollow someone if they had made those rants on their gaming forum, because as stated, I'm on Twitter for games, not other bullshit. I already get politics crammed in my ears, eyes, and asshole from all angles every day; I don't need some condescending prick mouthing his mental sewage when I'm following gaming dudes and sites on Twitter.

I don't even fucking like Trump, I just don't wanna read some keyboard warrior thinking he's making a difference when his Twitter handle is dedicated to games. Kurt can make a personal account if he wants to, but then he wouldn't have nearly as many followers that would blow him in agreement, so I guess that's why he's tainting @HG_101.

GENOCIDAL NAZI

HITLER MAN!

I can just tell this thread will end peacefully and amicably!

[Mooning Freddy]

Like, was Bush Hitler (and a lot of people said he was), but Trump is even more Hitler, thus a Mega Hitler? Like, more Hitler than Hitler? I don't get it.

Yes, according to Japan it's possible.

People take politics waaaay to seriously in the wrong way.
Remember when Obama was supposed to make America Great Again?

Remember when Obama was supposed to make America Great Again?

Yeah, but he couldn't. He was too busy cleaning up the mess that Bush left in his wake. And yes, too many people take politics way too seriously. Especially in the US. It's not a healthy habit. If somebody were to make fun of my country's new prime minister? So what. It's got nothing to do with me personally. It's just a mindless waste of energy on something that could be better spent in more productive and creative ways that serve me.

[Abnormal Freak]

People take it too seriously, which goes back to the original point: If people follow your Twitter because it's associated with your long-standing, comprehensive video game website, don't use it as a platform for your personal thoughts unrelated to gaming. That means: don't post a million pictures of your dog, don't share the food you just ate, don't tell me about the new pair of comfy shoes you just bought; because your page serves one purpose: gaming.

Edit: Ah, forget it. Lock thread, duhleat, lol. I said my piece. Kurt is happy to lose fans, so be it.

[Gunlord]

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Politics are okay once in a while, but we already have other politics threads and I doubt another one like this is such a great thing. Locked.
