(2,809 posts)Were not realistically evaluating a leader of the free world. I don't believe 10 percent of them attending ever heard how utterly rambling their hero was beyond sound bytes that echoed the more protracted proposals they'd already heard on Faux Noise. I honestly believe the majority of them were just so pumped full of adrenaline, shouting, flag waving, echoing any criticism of Hillary, shouting, texting the kids to be home or else, albeit so caught up in "the man" who would finally salvage this country from the scourge of Obama. It was sheer adolescent level hero worship so enthralled that no critical attention was paid to the entire lack of content. "Shutdown of Muslims...." the crowd goes wild. "Hillary should be prosecuted..." the crowd goes wild. "Send that protester to the hospital"... the crowd goes wild. "Drain the swamp..." the crowd going wild ignoring the notion that Trump's entire statements made no coherent or complete idea.
He's already lost thousands of them who really thought he'd imprison Hillary. More and more are catching on that their anti-Obama hero wears no clothes, and more will do so in coming years, if he lasts that long.
Trump has already done irreparable damage unless the entire gang of corrupt cronies he's placed are removed. The absolute peril he has placed our country into is nerve racking. He's played right into ISIS's hands. He's taken all the recovery of the U.S. respect worldwide regained under President Obama from the inept bumblings of GWB and thrown us all down the rabbit hole.
Hannity must be taking entire bottles of aspirin trying to defend his clown. I don't believe that within two years there will be one single sane person that can support this administration, only those just as batshit loco as the Frumper himself or worse. By then many of them will be incapable of voting due to advanced dementia.
I'll be around to vote in 2018 if we don't all get blown to smithereens before then. But I cannot see trickle down economics on steroids doing anything but place us into worse shape than the great depression by 2020. I'm studying my Portuguese as quickly as this 58 year old brain can absorb it. Even the unemployment numbers in Brazil may look like an opportune haven compared to what 4 years of this is poised to do to the U.S. My home is on the market. I'm selling out, I'm done. I won't stay for another bout of sleeping in my car at the hot springs wondering if I can scrape enough change to afford a pack of Top Ramen again cooked in a tent. Fuck that. It's happened every time these trickle-down bastards take over.
And half these flag waving fools are down there at shanty town with me wondering what went wrong every time.
