Very well written, couldn´t agree more (sadly).

First of all I am not supporting Clinton, I am a realist and a conservative leaning Constitutionalist.
Hear me out!!
This is both a calculated attack on misogyny and on misandry, and a frontal assault on our social sexuality concepts in the Western World.
As we've now seen, Trump is revealed to be "a typical guy" as his defenders say, in that he treats women as empty objects to be "used" for sexual gratification. Exactly like Bill Clinton, another "normal guy", promiscuous, condescending, and deceptive in pursuit of his gratification. Abusers.
I am choosing to attack Trump on this very critically because of several political and personal reasons as a Long Term Conservative Strategy. As I see it, any person Truly concerned with the current erosion of our national outlook will have to eventually agree to some degree. I will take an extreme position.
Man. Trump says something (back when he was a Democrat ) and everyone explodes.
Hillary enables a sexual predator and nobody bats an eyelash, presumably because it happened so long ago. Seems like a double standard here.

You are going to use sex offenders as your baseline here?
Your sexuality does not create who you are. Or by all means show me the research and not anecdotal evidence.

Why condemn one person, Americas problems is no the comment or behavior of one person, is the fact that Americans are one of the top nations in the world after the middle east that sexuality is a big tabu and most Americans are sexually deprived.
Thanks the religious right for that one.
Our nations family structure is not collapsing because of sexual behaviors is because Americans love sex but can not find a way to talk about it and think that enjoying it is sinful.

Sounds like you just want to make sexuality a political point when that is hardly the case.
I don't care to debate this with you.

I'm glad you thought so.
I made note in the OP you stated that you were deliberately staking out an extreme position, not that you were necessarily saying it was your position, and knew you meant to inspire conversation; and draw out some particular types.
In a way political affiliation is almost religious in nature, and when one pokes around behind the scenes, one can see that there are a remarkable number of similarities in the two systems; those of religion and politics. And in fact one can see that the two have been intertwined throughout human history.
Heck, there are orthodoxies amongst atheists and different sects of them if you will.
As soon as the media (oracles of the powers that be) expound upon a subject, then it will loom large in the consumers (worshipers of a particular ideology be it 'republican,' 'democrat,' 'green,' 'afterberner,' whatever) minds and the way the media presents such will in large part determine the direction the the energy will flow.
In a way money is a similar phenomena, if you look at money as energy rather than as numbers, one can then develop methods to redirect it's flow. And as Soros and others have demonstrated, large enough of a redirection and one can topple nations.
Hope I didn't wander too far away from your topic?

Johnson appears to be a far more reasonable choice.
I wonder if the puppeteers running our political machine made a bet:
"I bet we can offer them two horrid choices and they'll STILL refuse to vote 3rd party!"

Well, I'm going to go ahead and call it a successful experiment : the position taken as the premise of this thread - though unbelievably contentious and controversial - is the clear dominating ideology.
With all of the hard core liberal minded folks everywhere it is a huge surprise none of them are willing to get down and really fight it out point by point...
I knew the extreme conservative position was so incredibly unpalatable to our lust oriented promiscuity based social paradigm where materialistic objectification is the paramount concern... but somehow it's a winning argument.
Not only did it win, it won hands down in an overwhelming way. People are afraid to argue it because in their Heart they know my mental exercise spoke pure Truth.
I'm not actually gloating, I'm trying to jinx myself so someone special and amazing will come and debate me and show me I'm wrong somehow, at least theoretically wrong. I won't hold out hope for any serious opposition though... Im pretty sure this threads over.
