Have any U.S. presidental canidates evoked similar responses in regards to disagreement and controversy in the past...

fuck you i wanna see murica ruined

>Bush Gore was very tame until the actual election.

This, just a couple of centrists with 90% similar platforms. (Of course, President Bush ended up very different from candidate Bush.)

I hear a lot of comparisons with the nixon election but I think it's mainly because of the "I'm not a politician" thing ft the impending doom

Digital media is making people react more strongly than they would otherwise. It's the emotional feedback bubble thing.

MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA MAGA

you kinda missed the point. everything points to current years shenanigans as being just talk. As you say, if states start secedeing then it's cereal.

My vote is for Jefferson. He was the Anti-Christ who wiped his ass with the Constitution.

>Wallace got absolutely BTFO

Wallace ran third party though. That he actually won states was an accomplishment.

>President Bush ended up very different from candidate Bush
Not really. He ran on a neocon platform and played out a neocon presidency.

>▶
He ran on a campaign of keeping us out of nation building projects.

That is hardly neoconservative, its closer to paleoconservatism

>He ran on a campaign of keeping us out of nation building projects
Yet he promoted chickenhawking, which paleocons do not agree with. There's a pretty big distinction there.

Goldwater in 1964. They actually made people believe he'd nuke the world. I've read up on Goldwater and he didn't seem the sort to recklessly utilize nuclear weapons in political discord. Even Nixon was more lunatic about waving the nuclear threat in regards to North Vietnam, but then he went and initiated SALT with Brezhnev.

This. Whereas 20 years ago, the american elections would deserve 2 or 3 quips over morning radio, coffee and newspapers, I had people today explaining they watched livestreams until 4am then woke at 7 to see the end results. Internet, social media and amero-japanese imageboards are a hell of a drug.

>Hawaii
>twitter.com/YesCalifornia

When George Bush Jr. ran, everybody was against him too.
When Reagan ran, everybody feared he would trigger WW3

And that's just recent history

Both are populists, that's to be certain, although when it comes to their beliefs and policies themselves I don't know if the comparison applies.

I think you're oversimplifying it.

The 2016 election is extremely similar to the 1980 election.

>mfw some SJW tries to shoot him but fails and Trump beats the shit out of him with a cane
>mfw by merely being elected Trump has reignited the Trail of Tears
He truly is Andrew Jackson reincarnated

No. He is not Andrew Jackson. He's not even from the same planet as Jackson, who actually did the bootstrap thing, rather than provide a transparently bogus simulation of the bootstrap thing.

Lincoln. He wasn't even on the ballot in the South, and half the nation decided to leave before he was even inaugurated

Obama in 2008 and 2012. I lived in NOVA in 2012, and I have about 50 postcards with Obama in that stereotypical communist get up on the front and starving white children on the back, talking abut how Obama will ship all the jobs overseas, make white people second class citizens and turn the country over to the Russians or the Chinese or the Kenyans. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, all the birth certificate shit....every election is just like this one: it's do or die for the nation, my candidate will save the country from eternal ruin, and the candidate I don't support is hell bent on its destruction and the end of all good things in life.

>He remains the last third-party candidate to receive pledged electoral college votes from any state.

nice

>protests in 7 major cities not even 24 hours after the election has been called

guys...I don't think America is going to make it.

You don't meme a reality TV star into office while he loses the popular vote.

You see, /pol/ is not quite sane, we are this universe version of the followers of chaos, if that is a good thing only time will tell

Sad but true. I hate american elections, not because of the political figures, but because of the followers.

>Duh muh candidate is not a fascist/ socialist
>starts to stay fascist/ socialist shit

>Duh muh candidate isn't a sexist
>says sexist shit

>Muh candidate isn't racist towards X people
>proceeds to make racist comments towards X people

The thing is those are liberals without guns.

Jackson had years of experience from serving in both the army and as a judge and senator, and was a successful businessman owning hundreds of slaves and a huge plantation. While Jackson and Trump may seem similar at first glance, Jackson at had enough political experience behind him to know exactly what he wanted to do. Trump does not.

The white ones yeah. But those aren't the ones I'd be worried about.

...

Don't even try comparing some silver spoon daddy's boy rich fuck to a respectable military man like Jackson, you fuck. The fact that anybody has the nerve to even think about that comparison sickens me.

Sure, with increasing globalisation the american elections become the interest of the global community even more, but im talking about the personal involvement and personalisation of the american experience that is only possible because of the things i mentioned.
Reading our forums, some things read as if americans actually living there were debating, not slovenes living 10,000km away

They've titerally been a meme since the 70's.
