Not sure if I'm more terrified of a Drumpf presidency or the fact that so many people support him. It's like living in WI.

the moment someone says they support tRump they are gone.

I want the sunglasses to know who is bogus.

I am heartbroken that there are so many people that harbor the same hatreds as that awful person. I thought we were better than this as a country but now I see as a whole, we are not. People are now cheering for the lowest humans have to offer. I see now why President Obama's leadership was not respected. A big share of the population tried to destroy it rather than listen.

Supporters of trump have revealed who they are and I have no respect therefore I just plain do not want to have anything to do with them.

So I don't buy them.

Hoping this giant Cheeto doesn't stick to America.

I am comforted by the fact he seems to be imploding more every single day, despite teh best efforts of his handlers..

Thus I am hopeful.

Use chop sticks.

think of that?

Still, I don't want to do anything that might inflame the Mighty Oragng Ape.

Waitaminnit- yes I do, Resistance begins at home.

I like mine better.

no pun intended.

They had their 10 minutes of morning sunshine under Reagan and then when Poppy Bush lost in 1992 they went into massive reactionary temper tantrum mode, and they've been stuck there ever since.

mean-spirited hateful egomaniac? incoherent babbler? Sure. Of course. But just 8 years ago they were ready to put Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency, too. The "Warrrez teh Barf Certificate" shit Trump threw at Obama didn't originate with him, it came from the knuckle-dragging depths of the GOP base slime pools. Etc etc.

I don't know anyone who is voting for that shitwit, or at least who openly admits it. One thing that is good about this cycle is, at least, the cards are all on the table. And while one candidate clearly and openly embodies the worst instincts in the American psyche, most of us want nothing to do with him.

So there's that.

government was bad.

He's the completely logical conclusion to all the shit they've been saying and doing for a long time.

... to watch. The right wing strategists saw demographic trouble on the horizon in the late 60s and early 70s. So they whipped up a batshit crazy, xenophobic, paranoid, rabid, conspiracy minded - but also very dependable - voting base for years, and have ridden it to great success in both National and State elections. In the South we have always referred to it as the "marriage of the country club and the country church". And it worked to perfection - especially in the South. It has been frustrating here, to put it mildly.

But it's that base that votes in - and therefore actually controls - the primaries. And once Trump began to sing their tune out loud, they turned out in droves and doomed any establishment conservative on the stage. Now, in hindsight, it seems so obvious, and I'm amazed that we all didn't see this coming more clearly.

I wonder what the election would be looking like if Trump had never gotten in?

And - at the risk of confirming my own CT bonafides - The Trump phenomenon is just the kind of thing Ol' Big Dog might have figured out. Hmmm....

who either 1) Actually believe this disturbed cable huckster, and view him as some sort of aryan savior; 2) That some people cannot pick up on the completely disingenuous, wholly NEGATIVE Jerry-Springer-Show-vibe that Trump presents, lying his ass off hourly, behaving and speaking outrageously (like no other human) and then baiting his low-everything worshippers, to the extent they have committed public acts of physical violence; and 3) Those who know he's an existential threat to large groups of people who fall into "specific demographics," but who still intend to vote for this maggot, regardless.

If I were younger, I'd be seriously considering moving to Australia or New Zealand. Because even if he is destroyed at the polls come November, he's not going away. He'll be jonesing for the adoring crowds and the fistfights. He'll be blathering at us from the tube for years to come. (Or until the crapfest, complicit media sees its ratings slip vis-à-vis Trump's call-ins, drop-bys, etc.) Them there are all the other weirdo Repubs to deal with.

It ain't easy being a liberal these days.
