And as a straight White male, I have nothing to complain about, because I realize how easy I have it relative to everyone else, and I'll be the first to tell you, Trump and his supporters are straight up human sewage.

(81,297 posts)I guess I'm more inclined to take it for the humor of it. Sometimes the only thing to do it laugh at it.
I find it helps perpetuate some sense of sanity.
Shit - you make me think back to this saying we had when I was in elementary school, and my best friend's mom was this flamboyant actress. She'd remarried - an architect who was as much of a wild child as she was. He loved to "create" - in his design studio at their house. Every time i went over there, I'd notice an array of newspapers spread out on the floor, on which there was a silhouette of some object that he had sprayed with gold paint and left to dry. The newspapers were there to protect the floor from getting gold spray paint all over it.
Eventually I asked him what he was doing. He explained that this was what he did with "white elephants" - random weird or cheesy objects he'd come across - that he didn't know what to do with. So he came up with a solution: "spray it gold and laugh at it!" I immediately fell in love with that story AND that concept! Gotta say - there have been many times when, at least mentally, I sprayed something gold and laughed at it. Hell, I've sprayed whole PEOPLE gold and laughed at them. As for The Donald, he's already met me more than halfway. I don't even need the gold spray paint. He's already faked it for me.

I swear that every picture I see of the trump condo looks like it was decorated this way.
Great story
