Re: Campaign XXVI: The Drumpf World Order
People have to come to grips with the fact that Trump was elected for one reason and one reason only, and that is that we are truly a nation of far too many deplorable individuals. At the end of the day that's a fact. All of the demographics that were continually cited here and elsewhere when it seemed unthinkable by most that Trump had no chance in Hell of pulling out this election missed that simple, overarching point. How many people who voted in this election were NOT aware of even just one or two of the statements Trump made that the pundits were "sure would be the end of his candidacy?" They voted for him anyway. And if they did not, but instead still voted for Republican Senate, House or Governors candidates, they are equally to blame, because only a fool would believe that even a minority of the current crop of Republican politicians will put country before party or politics. Get used to it folks. We live in a very, very sick country. The ride from here on out is going to get bumpy. Think about how outraged you were when you first heard about the Pulse nightclub shooting, or Oklahoma city. Now imagine what this place will look like when those are weekly, or daily events. Think it can't happen? Well, I was told repeatedly that since old white men make up a minority of the electorate, there was no way possible for Trump to be elected president. Keep that in mind when you go to the market on Saturday morning for your weekly grocery shopping. Keep in mind there is far more hatred in this country than even I thought on November 7th. And now that hatred has a voice at the head of the table.
