He admits it's a #FakeTrumpEmergency. Hear him say it: "I *didnt need* to do this, but Id rather do it much faster."

(3,598 posts)I wonder,
The school idiots voted for the class clown as president,
because they didn't like change, learning new things,
or being exposed to an education,
and now, we have a circus for a school.
Hillary was wrong, they're not deplorables, they're idiots.

Because there are about 30 percent of us who are actually stupider than he is.
Make America Great Again! DEPORT THE MAGATS.

(13,776 posts)Honestly, you have just solved a mystery that I haven't been able to let go of until this very moment; the question of his weird and (previously) inexplicable popularity always bugged me SO much, but you've answered it. It feels as though an itch has just been scratched. Thank you!

(1,220 posts)It's the only explanation that makes any sense to me.
adolf hitler only had 32% of the vote in the late 20s. He dropped to 28% in 1932 when he was inexplicably handed the reins of power, if I remember correctly.
It seems that 1/3 barrier is all any vicious dictator needs to overcome to be successful - as long as they can cobble together whatever strategy they need to get them over the top. Brown shirts in the street. Cheating. Foreign agent for a hostile power who hacks into our electoral system and can reverse election results.
This frightens me.

(1,220 posts)Where one tenth of one percent of the citizens control over half the wealth.
The pie is finite. Their share is drastically reducing our share. Enough is enough.
Tax their asses off and if they don't like it confiscate ALL their wealth. That might sound too harsh to some but considering what their greed has done and is doing to our nation it isn't harsh enough, IMO.
They've turned democracy into capitalism and capitalism into a game of Monopoly.
Billionaire is obscene. They're the winners. All the rest of us are the losers.

Long-term damage has been done. You can't count on us to be reliably sane anymore.
