A Vote of Treason
The article attached is possibly the most succinct or 'spot on' article on the upcoming election and explains perfectly why one should vote for Donald Trump: "A vote for Donald Trump is not a vote for the person at all, that is why despite the media onslaught of negative stories about him as a person carries no weight with those who support him, because they don't support him at all, they support what he represents, which is a chance to hold Hillary Clinton responsible for her crimes"!

Also, Congress would never hesitate to impeach Trump. You can't say the same thing about Hillary Clinton.

Part of the government's job now is to preserve the political elite and keep feeding the people the same line about the brilliance or vision of their own "leaders" and the idiocy of noncompliance. Original thinkers are not welcome; neither are outsiders. For some reason now we no longer suspect an individual who's spent their entire life in politics. They are touted instead as an experienced lion of the pride. There's no longer room for dissent, for organic growth, for fresh and even shocking ideas. People are expelled now for disagreeing. Look at what Mitch McConnell is currently doing in the Senate. The United States used to be the exception to progressive politics; we're not any longer. Mainstream parties rarely if ever challenge the social-democratic belief in a controlled economy and income redistribution--a system now that schoolchildren are taught to view as the perfect balance between American-style capitalism and Soviet-style Communism. (Communism gets a capital letter where democracy does not)
There is no longer a limit to the central government's purview. Soon we'll have a Executive Cabinet position on cultural and religious affairs, then a secretary for family affairs and women, and then a Secretary of gender equality. The central government's power is "obligated" to shape citizen's personal choices through an extraordinarily intrusive array of prohibitions, taxes, or subsidies. Everything we eat and drink now is punitively taxed. Where newspapers and mosques are good, thus subsidized lavishly.
While the mainstream parties haggle over whether to trim a program or budgetary item or slightly lower a tax here and raise another there, on certain questions they stand shoulder to shoulder: even against a majority of the population, and that's immigration and integration. In collaboration with the media and academia the two-party system has effectively prevented public discussion of those issues. Anyone trying to initiate a debate is pilloried and besmirched. Top-down organizations of the ruling parties keep others in line, philosophically lockstep with news organizations to keep unorthodox views off the airwaves or the legislature floor.
Populism serves as a code word for fascism, or at the very least, a crude, know-nothing _simplesme_. However undeserved the fascist stigma is potent, albeit, most of our population has no idea what true fascism really is. We will soon enough as the "soft" tyranny takes firm hold if HRC is elected. Populism interferes with the parties' idea of solidarity, and solidarity doesn't mean a spirit of community. It means community mediated through government institutions. It means abiding to the wisdom and judgement of those who've made careers in mainstream politics. It is a benign view that somehow the central government is going to be fair and just, always in the right; a counterweight to the dreaded power of corporations and other private enterprises. Big business is the threat, not big government.
No longer are we suspicious of overly intrusive bossy government, where the private sector is now mistrusted. American society now is the one-idea-state where individualists and innovators are shut out.
