Because, as writers, we are particularly aware of the many ways that language can be abused in the name of power;
Because we believe that any democracy worthy of the name rests on pluralism, welcomes principled disagreement, and achieves consensus through reasoned debate;
Because American history, despite periods of nativism and bigotry, has from the first been a grand experiment in bringing people of different backgrounds together, not pitting them against one another;
Because the history of dictatorship is the history of manipulation and division, demagoguery and lies;
Because the search for justice is predicated on a respect for the truth;
Because we believe that knowledge, experience, flexibility, and historical awareness are indispensable in a leader;
Because neither wealth nor celebrity qualifies anyone to speak for the United States, to lead its military, to maintain its alliances, or to represent its people;
Because the rise of a political candidate who deliberately appeals to the basest and most violent elements in society, who encourages aggression among his followers, shouts down opponents, intimidates dissenters, and denigrates women and minorities, demands, from each of us, an immediate and forceful response;
For all these reasons, we, the undersigned, as a matter of conscience, oppose, unequivocally, the candidacy of Donald J. Trump for the Presidency of the United States.
fucking wankers
>>8082138
These bourgeoisie fucks are really getting desperate.
I'm actually terrified of Trump winning. As a male writer, I value things like equality and beauty, people like Trump will likely cause a new wave of "old" (aka fucking toxic) masculinity to return.
What is this, fin de siècle Vienna?
Maybe if Opera said no to Trump...

>>8082148
Yes. New masculinty.
Not the old masculinity of violence, conservatism, and rudeness.
New masculinity is about a love for diversity, sensitivity, and pacifism.
>>8082156
The new masculinity is feminine
>>8082144
THIS. I mean ugh. All this fucking old masculinity has to fucking die already.
Why should it be non-masculine for a man to wear make up?
Why should it be non-masculine for a man to love to sing and dance?
Why should it be non-masculine for a man to cry over the atrocities of his fellow men?
>>8082156
That is just femininity, dumpy, soft, shapeless and malleable.
Everything is so ugly because firmness has been dissipating more and more ever since the age of democracy.
>>8082159
and is that a bad thing? I'm a fairly strong guy (I can squat my bodyweight), yet I'd far rather live in a feminine world and be what you would call "feminine" than live in a toxic male lead world.
>>8082160
Men dancing and singing is far more common in traditional communities.

>>8082165
Not unless we include bardic traditions and rectitative. Dancing and singing has historically always been associated with (female) prostitutes.
See for example Theodora.
>>8082164
>and is that a bad thing?
Yes, because the world isn't Haven
>I'm a fairly strong guy
Strength of masculinity isn't related to lifting pointless weights, it's about sacrificing yourself for your God, country and family through hard work, war, intellectual endeavors or any other type of pursuit of virtue.

Dishonest! Trump loves hispanics!
Memes aside, I wonder how many of these people making public statements about Trump actually believe what they say. He is doing something unprecedented in politics and has been doing it for quite a while now. His methods are designed to work on the vast majority of people, but I wasn't aware that so many educated, supposedly intelligent people would actually be dumb enough not to get any of it.
Sometimes there is a clear reason for them to pretend they think in these simplistic terms. But how could a rich writer benefit from this?
>The history of dictatorship
>encourages aggresion among his followers
They must think the situation is urgent enough to justify this bullshiting as means to an end. They risk being seen as retarded if they're wrong, so they must be quite confident about their political analysis. How does this happen? Or do they knowingly engage in a circlejerk with ignorant people by pretending to be part of the group? This seems unlikely.
I guess they simply have an opinion on a subject they don't understand well enough. That's normal, we all do it, but the lack of self-awareness required to defend this kind of positions in public is astonishing.
>>8082254
not him but here is my take :
my ass>a joke candidate who wouldn't be harmful to the country>a communist candidate who at least would fail while helping people>bernie sander who'll fail while helping people a bit less>any other candidate including republican candidates>shillary clinton the vagina>a fork>donald trump
>>8082273
note that a communist candidate would fail at being elected, while benier "well well" sanders will fail after being elected, so you can replace both of them with one another if you like. I still prefer my ass tho.

Oh shit guys, Dave Eggers is in on this.
Provided this is real, what will he do next? Make snarky comments until election day and then do a 180 once he realises people like Trump and that there is money to be made rooting for him?
Hillary will be a worse president than Trump and that is why she should win
can political cartoons have literary value?

>>8082505
I don't understand these cartoons and comics.
It's not as though real, actual people haven't made very concrete, well-reasoned criticisms of Trump's policy goals on bases other than those of racism, prejudice, and hurt feelings.
Why don't these people address those concerns (i.e., the actual ones that will have an impact) instead of just harping on the morons?
>>8082495
If I learned from The Circle, Eggers will write a "satire" about the new US political system which will do nothing but repeat tired cliches from 10 years ago

>He thinks that Trump's ego and memes are dangerous, not realizing that soft-manered, robotic politicians pretend to believe in anything to mantain political power and consider it to be part of the game while fucking the world up.
>He may unironically consider trump incompetent
A typical politician needs the support of the media to remain popular, which leads to chronic dishonesty. This is the reason why the political discussion in every western country is ridiculously far from reflecting the beliefs of citizens when it comes to topics that would have them dismembered by the media (Gender gaps of every type, racism as obvious explanation for every difference between groups, criticizing islam seen as islamophobia, etc.). This might be harmless if they only flushed money to fight the imaginary evil racist patriarchy, but when you start talking about immigration policies, shit gets real.
Not being able to even discuss terrifying FACTS like the beliefs of muslim immigrants is dangerous. As we are learning in europe, it's really, really dangerous.
Having your foreign policy deeply conditioned by any individuals or groups that can influence the public opinion is dangerous.
Trump only needs Trumping to get votes. So far he has proven to be unbelieveably good at it. He used his social skills, wealth and success story to confront the media and it worked. So every time Trump uses meme nicknames, exaggerates, lies or distorts facts, you can see it happening and you can can understand why he says these things. Trumping his way to presidency.
It makes no sense to fear a man that is bullshiting his own way up instead of letting others do the bullshiting while forcing their own agendas.

I'm going to vote for Donald Trump because he's going to make America great again.
>>8082659
Trump said he wouldn't reduce welfare, if I remember correctly, so that already makes him way more liberal than anyone in the history of the Republican party.
>>8082664
Yup. Trump has voiced support for universal healthcare, campaign finance reform, and non-interventionist foreign policy (albeit after a swift yet brutal conclusion to our current conflicts), and has a long history of opposing trade deals disastrous for the American working class. On the flip side, Clinton supports crony capitalist obamacare, benefits from the current campaign finance system and thus has no incentive to alter it, is one of the biggest warhawks in American politics, and has a long history of supporting trade deals. On social issues like gay marriage and trans people rights to use bathrooms they're essentially in agreement. However Clinton pays lip service to ideas of 'diversity' and 'progressive politics' so somehow she's the voice of the left? Fuck that. Trump is rough around the edges and I'd ultimately support Sanders above him, but he's vastly superior to Clinton.
>>8082686

>>8082720
>implying america can be "destroyed"
>>8082722
Trump won't be the leader people want him to be, especially on the race aspect (all the racists bought into the 'he's a racist!' shit, he really isn't)
he will likely get blocked at all times
overall ineffectual and disappointing
the initial media meltdown will be hilarious though (hopefully Cenk Uygur will blow his brains out on cam)
Hillary will get her way, that is to say she will continue the Obama/Bush legacy but much worse
she'll bankrupt the country and maybe (hopefully) kick off the Balkanisation of the US
Democracy is a joke, and Trump epitomises it - but here are my reasons for preferring him over the alternatives:
-15% roof on corporate taxes will work wonders on the American economy
-He will simplify the tax plan, and lower taxes for the lower and middle classes, while raising it somewhat for the rich. Mostly it's the simplicity of the new tax plan that's so great, though, with three instead of seven stages.
-He will seriously attempt to improve diplomatic relations with several countries, most importantly Russia. Which is great - no-one benefits from the current embargo.
-He will get China to stop stealing IP and manipulating their currency.
And finally, I agree with him on a number of other issues such as immigration, guns, and abortion. He's not perfect in any way, but he's better than the last few presidents that America has, and way better than the other two catastrophic alternatives.
>>8082180

The Art of the Deal is better than anything that those cucks have written. Trump has an IQ of 156, which is definitely higher than any of theirs. They can't handle the fact that he's not even a pompous career writer like them, but he's still better.
Simply put: BUILD THAT WALL BABY
>>8082738
>He will simplify the tax plan, and lower taxes for the lower and middle classes, while raising it somewhat for the rich. Mostly it's the simplicity of the new tax plan that's so great, though, with three instead of seven stages.
He's lowering taxes on the wealthiest the most.
>>8082738
damn you're more naive than bernie supporters
As a britbong observing from afar, who doesn't really give much of a shit, this is a win-win.
1. Trump wins and is useless = laughing at America.
2. Trump wins and is a brilliant president = laughing at all his initial naysayers (e.g. the hardcore Clinton fans).
3. Trump gets crushed in November = laughing at all the Trump worshippers (e.g. /pol/).
From the outside it'll be a nice social experiment, just on a gigantic scale. I look forward to November.

Charitable giving and mortgage interest deductions will remain unchanged for all taxpayers.

>>8082826
Where's the cognitive dissonance exactly? I don't think you know what the term means. Maybe you should look it up.
The source you just linked is being intentionally misleading. It chooses brackets arbitrarily, especially among the poor households - for example
>In contrast, the lowest-income households
where it is not stated which percentiles exactly, and it's also misleading because there isn't much to cut. The point is to simplify, so that they don't have to bother paying taxes at all, and thus lighten the administrative burden on both the households and collection.
The article also neglects to mention the weight of capital gains taxes (which I'm personally actually not in support of, I think it's bad for the economy), which stands for the majority of the taxes on the very richest households.
>>8082839
Snark only takes you so far - Fortune is obviously pushing an angle, and not interested in being objective. You might want to link a neutral analysis that doesn't omit data and use arbitrary samples to prove their points.
>>8082863
>[Source] isn't objective

thhttp://www.taxpolicycenter.org/publications/analysis-donald-trumps-tax-plan/full
you said that trump would increase taxes on the wealthiest, which is objectively false. no analysis of his tax plan has come to this conclusion. you have no evidence whatsoever for your statement, youre just desperately trying to poke holes in every study that doesnt fit the /pol/ narrative.
>>8082891
I'm not linking the articles. If you post a neutral source, I'll gladly read it.
Not to be a dick and tell you it's biased but because I'm generally interested.
>>8082848
>The article also neglects to mention the weight of capital gains taxes (which I'm personally actually not in support of, I think it's bad for the economy), which stands for the majority of the taxes on the very richest households.
All that getting rid of capital gains will do is cause the value of stocks and real estate to sky rocket and result in the poor going into more debt to the rich by borrowing to "invest" before the bubble bursts. That's classic accumulation by dispossession like what happened during the transition from feudalism to capitalism... except instead of investing in growing the productive forces you're directing funds towards the fictitious paper economy to inflate paper value and increase rent extraction from the real economy.
Unless you're an accelerationist or something this will result in something way worse than the Great Recession.

No, I didn't. I said 'the rich'. Are you illiterate, a bad liar, or just plain stupid?
>which is objectively false
I don't think you know what the word 'objective' means either. It depends entirely on which percentiles you choose to include, and whether you include capital gains taxes or not, and whether you adjust for effective income tax rates.
>no analysis of his tax plan has come to this conclusion
Here's one, that's also non-partisan but comes to a different conclusion than tpc: http://taxfoundation.org/article/details-and-analysis-donald-trump-s-tax-plan
I'll link more sources shortly.
>>8082900
Firstly, he's not getting rid of capital gains, but increasing their taxes on them. Otherwise I essentially agree with you on the effects of it - it won't be catastrophic, but it's definitely not good. The question here is about whether it is factually correct to say that Trump is lowering or raising taxes for the rich, or not.

Middle-income taxpayers with incomes that fall within the 30th to 80th percentiles would see larger increases in their after-tax AGI, of between 3.0 and 8.3 percent. Taxpayers with incomes that fall in the highest income class (the 90-100 percent decile) would see an increase in after-tax income of 14.6 percent. The top 1 percent of all taxpayers would see a 21.6 percent increase in after-tax income.
Trump is also eliminating the estate tax which clearly favors the wealthiest.

He taped Kimmel today, really hoped he was asked about this.
"Stephen King, supposedly a good guy, well maybe not since he attacked me, but this very popular horror writer, my kids loved him in middle school by the way, smart kids, read all through school, we would give them the best books, so Stephen King and I guess 400 other writers signed a letter attacking me. And it's just like what are we doing? I look at the bestseller list in the new york times, a failing dishonest newspaper, and all the titles are these horrible horrible books. What happened to Pinecone and YeCarthy? David Foster Wallace I liked too, great guy, tremendous talent, very discernable. Hemmingway, Faulkner, well he was actually a little too corncobby for my taste, but I'm sitting there this morning thinking what happened, Jimmy? What happened to our literature? It's a disaster. A total disaster."
