Personally I'd enjoy seeing the Middle East turned in to a glass bowl.
I've been saying it for a while , it's us or them. Sooner or later our hand will be forced. They can not coexist with us. Me being an atheist I'm surely an "infidel" so let's get the ball rolling. I'm willing to handle some fallout to seal the deal.
Trump would push the button I have no doubt
He has my vote

Unlike Germany, though... Well, I'm only going to say this once:
If America starts turning into Nazi Germany 2.0 with Herr Trump at the helm, you guys BETTER F***ING PROVE THAT SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT WAS WORTH IT. ("It" being all the deaths it has indirectly caused.)

The pro 2nd people largely support Trump. It would never happen, they're not willing to stand up now and they won't be willing to stand up then. Besides that they're unable to stand up, the government has drones, missiles, supply lines, cyber weapons, tanks, and other weapons. A few rifles aren't going to do anything.

You trumpeters sound more and more like Obama supporters
Man cant beleive your buying this.
I intentionally stay out of British Politics because I know nothing about it.
Is it possible you don't know anything about US politics ?
Cause, you don't get to pick our leader, we do.
Sounds like Trump scares you and the rest of the World...Good, he should.

You'd enjoy an entire region of the world turned into a nuclear holocaust, with rampant cases of cancer, destruction, death, etc? Have you actually looked at pictures of Nagasaki or Hiroshima after we dropped those bombs on them? And you want to do that to a WHOLE region? Wow... You scare me more than the terrorists do.
What scares me is there's a huge segment of the population that believe this. They want a genocide of all Muslims, and it's not just a small community of conspiracy nuts who believe this. Look at every speech Obama has given on the subject, every single time he has tried to stress that this isn't a war on Islam or Muslims and that the vast majority of them are not bad. No one is listening to that though.
Six days after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, then-President George W. Bush gave brief remarks at the Islamic Center of Washington, just a short drive from the White House. “These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith,” Bush said. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace. They represent evil and war.”
Bush couldn’t stop or defuse anti-Muslim prejudice. That was impossible, and just a few weeks after he spoke, a 51-year-old Yemeni-American man was shot to death outside of his store, two days after someone left a note—“We’re going to kill all f--king Arabs”—on his car windshield. But what Bush did, successfully, was keep anti-Islam and anti-Muslim rhetoric out of national politics. He made clear that the United States was fighting a war against terrorists—not Muslims—and reminded Americans that “the majority of the victims of the terrorists have been innocent Muslims.”
In Germany only 7% of the population were willingly Nazi's. Trumps support is about 30% of the 40% that identify as Republicans. That means 12% of the US supports this rhetoric. We have nearly twice as many people per capita in the US right now who support genocide against an entire religion than Germany had.
Here we have a guy who wants to be a leader spouting the same ideology as Hitler and in some cases the same speeches, and his support base is twice as high. That should scare you.

It does. It REALLY worries me. I'm seriously banking on the recent statistics from the last two Presidential elections that show that a candidate cannot be elected to President banking on the white demographic alone anymore.

You're wrong there
Not a single person I know that's pro 2nd support trump
Because we actually know the constitution and Trumps approach distinctly contradicts those rights
You're making a vague statement about who supports him
Please show the polling numbers that support your claim
I would also like to address your "few rifles" claim
Afghanistan, Iraq and the issue in the ME refutes that claim
I'll also point to a time in history called the American Revolution , where a small country scarcely armed w more than hunting equipment, under equipped militias , and farmers and hunters , took on the most military advanced country in the world at the time
( no offense to my British friends)
People keep parroting that line and it's just not true
Let's not forget if it came to that point where we had to overthrow our own corrupt gov, we wouldn't be going it alone

The conservative white voter turnout in the last 2 elections was poor. One thing Trump has going for him is the fact that he has energized a large segment of voters who simply stayed home in 2008 and stayed home big time in 2012 because they felt McCain and Romney weren't worth the effort of going to the polls. Regardless of who the nominees are, I expect the 2016 election to see a resurgence of voters from all sides.
This much is undisputed: In 2012, President Obama lost white voters by a larger margin than any winning presidential candidate in U.S. history. In his reelection, Obama lost ground from 2008 with almost every conceivable segment of the white electorate. With several key groups of whites, he recorded the weakest national performance for any Democratic nominee since the Republican landslides of the 1980s.
In 2012, Obama won a smaller share of white Catholics than any Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1980; lost groups ranging from white seniors to white women to white married and blue-collar men by the widest margin of any Democrat since Ronald Reagan routed Walter Mondale in 1984; and even lost among Democratic-leaning college-educated women by the widest margin since Michael Dukakis in 1988, according to the latest National Journal analysis of the trends that shape the allegiances of American voters.
The most amazing thing about Trump is that over half of his support is coming from women (of multiple races)... explain that one.

It should be noted that even Bush didn't want to create a war against Islam (despite is poor choice of words calling for a new Crusade and all).
Iraq and Afghanistan weren't fought by the opposition using guns but by roadside bombs disrupting commerce and suicide vests getting close to civilians.
As far as the American Revolution goes, supplies came from Germany, especially guns and ammo and the war itself was won by France with their navy. That's what won the American Revolution, Americans fighting a guerrilla war was nothing more than a nuisance...
a nuisance that logistics prevented the British from properly dealing with due to long supply lines and troop transport times

I served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and you couldnt be further from the mark.
They most certainly do use guns, and many of them very effectively.
Tell that to Washington when he crossed the Delaware.....Sounds like you need to brush up on your military history.
And guerrilla tactics that cut those supply lines and destroyed depots.....again, History is good to know

I was going to point that out too, but he did use call it a Crusade and in my opinion he's the one that started all of this whether or not he intended to.
Anyways the hate is real and it's getting worse just look at this thread for the most recent example.
