Hopefully it is not like revenge of the nerds in 2016, and hopefully it is also not full of students crying in "safe" spaces.
Might even be interesting!
Everyone should feel violated by even knowing he exists. He is everything America isn't. If he becomes President (very unlikely), say goodbye to the Valley, say goodbye to every startup scene in this country, and watch the money flee to pro-business nations.
Side note, I expect to be also downvoted for my view (and for discussing politics on HN at all), but I don't really care.
If anything, I expect you're likely to be downvoted for your statement that 'Everyone should feel violated by even knowing he exists', rather than because you don't support Trump.
I don't support Trump, but I don't feel violated for knowing he exists.
He is not the first, and neither will he be the last U.S. politician (or even presidential candidate) to make me feel that way.
In any case, the answer to offensive speech is more speech that educates, not shrill denunciations of the person making that speech.
Quite likely, IMO.
Are you sure about that? Because he seems to be everything that America is or aspires to be (loud, brash, opinionated, ignorant, rich, etc...). I personally can't think of a more "American" candidate than Trump...
