Let's Admit It. We Have To Thank Trump For One Thing.

Have to thank him for completely exploding the stupid conservative myth of the billionaire (millionaire) businessman as being a super-being, who is so smart, so hard working, and so moral that he DESERVES to have all that money. A myth that's necessary if they're going to continue the myth that anybody who is poor is poor because they're lazy, stupid, and immoral. They've been two sides of the same coin for decades in Republican mythology.

Let's face it, that was half of the reason why they hated President Obama. Because HE exploded their OTHER myth, about the African American male being lazy, violent, and immoral. He was brilliant, energetic, engaging, even tempered, and never set a foot wrong in his marriage. Eight years of the Obama Administration, and not even a HINT of a personal scandal. And now here we are, with the polar opposite in the White House.


Trump is an incompetent, lazy, sloppy, immoral lout who has spent his entire life FAILING UPWARDS. If he hadn't been born the son of a New York real estate tycoon, he probably would have spent his life filling jugs with draft beer at a sports bar in Yonkers. (If he was lucky.)

Thank you, Donald Trump, for finally driving a f-cking wooden stake through John Galt's heart; and wiping your a$$ with Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. Time for modern day conservatives to grow up, and see the world as it really is.

1. My fear is our electorate is too dumb to learn beneficial lessons from Trump

I'm honestly afraid that the movie "Idiocracy" is prophetic and that Trump is just a part of the natural progression of politics in this country until we eventually have President Mountain Dew Camacho:

3. As depressing as I found that 'comedy', many DU-ers here have pointed out to me

that the outlook of the film is essentially optimistic. President Camacho was faced with a problem, and assigned the smartest person he could find to solve it.

That's a hell of a lot better than Trump, who only hires stupid, incompetent people.

4. True, he had a better heart than Trump. But I've given up on hoping some new revelation about Trump

will make Trumpmos realize they made a huge mistake. At some point you have to accept the reality that a whole bunch of morons in this country are just tickled pink with the guy they and Putin elected. Even today, as my brief, nose-holding visit to Freeperville demonstrated.

5. And so much for getting a "businessman" in to run the country.

A businessman, especially one like this jerk, is the last thing we need.
