Why don't any mainstream politicians like Trump or Hillary talk about automation, technological singularity, etc? Are there any careers safe from this shit?

It's inevitable.
For campaign purposes they have to stick to simple core messages aimed at getting the most votes.
But I think it would be entirely appropriate to start stirring up more of a national discourse about this sort of thing. The media is running with it already, and it very much plays into many relevant issues like education, economy, migration, jobs, etc.

automation engineering, industrial automation and R&D positions are safe from obsolescence for the next 20 years. Must suck to be blue collar though, lul.

Well trumps not talking about it because to attract idiots, you must talk like an idiot.
The vast majority of the american population are idiots.
Having been a TV personality trump knows this, as well as knowing idiots like wacky out there people. So for now hes babbling about walls so that people will vote from him.
Perhaps he'll say something about technological advancement when he gets into office?

Blue collar isn't the only thing that's going to be affected. Even things like accounting, surgeons, even law jobs will be threatened

I'm sitting pretty in R&D for the time being, but it sure is comfy knowing that I have blue collar skills to fall back on in case of social and economic disarray. A lot of people out there are either a bit helpless with their hands or are not reliable workers.

>technological singularity
Hard take-off is a bit of a long shot. Soft take-off really isn't. With a soft take-off, we'll most likely merge with machines ourselves given that we'll have the time and the ability to allow new advancements to amplify research in other non-IT fields.
