Trump will stick to the status quo as Shillary will.
Spot on, anyone who think Trump wont stop the status quo is fooling themselves. Remember, Obama wanted to do that too, change remember?
He even wrote to kasich and basically said he'd do everything and Trump will,"Make America Great again."
No, both of these people will continue the status quo, sorry. -

It's not Obama's fault that the Republican controlled Congress blocked pretty much everything he wanted to do - not because they really opposed everything he wanted to do but simply because they wanted him to fail. So if you want to blame someone blame the ones who are truly responsible.
The only thing I blame Obama for is not to plow through everything he wanted to do during his first two years when the Democrats had control of Congress. He wanted to play nice, but in today's Congress you can't do that anymore. -

I'm not a huge Obama supporter, but agree with the thrust of your post.
Having said that, even if Trump gets elected I'll be surprised if he gets any radical legislation through Congress, even if (especailly if?) the Republicans control both chambers.
I'd also be surprised if he even tried to push much more than the status quo, or what you'd expect, beyond just bluster. Put another way: He may continue to talk about it, but a wall won't get built; NAFTA won't get overturned; There won't be a huge import tax on goods from China, he won't get of Obamacare, he won't "reshore" many corporations or jobs, etc. -

President Trump would be an absolute, unmitigated disaster for America. But if he wins, and on Inauguration Day gets up to the podium and just starts giving everybody the middle finger a la President Mountain Dew Camacho, I will laugh my ass off.

Ha! I also believe the process of the US becoming like Idiocracy has already begun. The people having multiple kids at a young age are grossly uneducated and foolish, whereas the intelligent members of society are devoting more time to work (and much of their money is going towards raising the kids of careless and irresponsible single moms who are not fit to have kids) and thus they are not finding time to have kids of their own.

and look at all the drones walking around, in the middle of the street, with their heads down looking for pokemon.
doomedcivilization is beyond repair. Trump presidency would only hasten the complete collapse.
haha and whats funny is he has no skills at all for surviving in that type of world. -

I really don't understand the allure or payoff to playing that game and 'catching' those creatures.
On a side note, I just heard that we may be getting some anti-Donald Trump campaign ads featuring President Camacho:

These ads would be hilarious!
Edit: And then I read a more recent article saying they decided not to do the ads. Bummer. I hope Crews reprises the role again one day though. -

No you're wrong. It happened when America was STUPID enough to elect a Obama a Marxist Muslim seven years after 9/11. And them they RE-ELECTED him! That's as STUPID and RETARDED as you can get!

Idiocracy was blueprinted in 1987, when Saint Ronald Reagan eliminated the FCC Fairness Doctrine. A year later, blowhards like Limbaugh took to the airwaves, to rant to the thousands of Americans who still believed (and still believe to this day) that Nixon resigned only because the liberals had an agenda.
Eight years after AM Hate Talk Radio was born, we get Fox News.
And the result of the Idiocracy that was born that fateful day in 1987? Look no further:

And if Clinton had won we would have had the most arrogant, corrupt, power hungry liar ever in the White House. And the Crooked Clintons could continue to sell America to the highest bidder, including countries which harbor and fund Islamic Terrorists. This is how they went from poor to multi millionaires.
And the Federal Government could continue to curtail our liberties, and squash our economy. And taxes would be raised so that hard working Americans could support a bunch of lazy freeloaders on Welfare who never worked a day in their lives.
And Crooked Hillary could nominate a Liberal Loon for the Supreme Court who would help her do away with the Bill of Rights, especially the First and Second Amendments.
Yeah, that would have been MUCH better.

Much better than a Clinton America where our freedoms continue to be whittled away by a government which is WAY too large and intrusive, and where we have a president who we cannot believe.

' Will this happen if Trump wins?'
I assume you're asking will the dynamics of this movie become reality
Honey - where you been??..
This movie represents the quintessence of our society which has incrimentally been tracking in this direction since the second decade of the
1900's
Had such a movie been available, one could
have asked your question of Wilson and every president since . . ..
Wanna know what's most startling?
It takes a movie like this to make people sit up, look around and
wonder about our society, when in fact many people for decades now have been juxtaposing more moral eras with each more
decadent one.
No one really pays attention to the 'dumming-down' of America although the phrase is well known
and used.
People prefer to believe they are
islands - their own refuge, and prefer to indulge themselves in deluded denial that insanity is indeed encroaching upon their imagined well-being . . . -

"People prefer to believe they are

To be fair, I think that has always been true. It seems to be a human nature thing. Maybe in times of extreme prosperity we saw a little less of this, but it seems to be a common thread throughout all eras. Best of times worst of times sorta thing.
