Trump and the Mirror

Everyone is talking about what a hate filled, bigoted, slow witted, unserious candidate Donald Trump is. Well, everyone who isn’t one of his millions of rabid acolytes, anyway. In truth, the everyone I’m talking about includes only those members of the punditry that aren’t also hate filled, bogoted, slow witted, unserious people. So, a few people are talking about what a hate filled, bigoted, slow witted, unserious candidate Donald Trump is. 

But, what isn’t being mentioned is that he isn’t an outlier. The GOP debate was filled with people who fit that metric. Jeb! May not hate the Mexicans as much as Trump, but he certainly hates the poor and all those “Asian anchor babies”. Walker is as slow witted and unserious as anyone ever. Rand TM Paul isn’t all that far from his Daddy Ron’s white power newsletters. Huckabee is one step away from saying gays must be stoned in the town square. 

They all seem to either hate women outright or at least view women as weirdly subservient sex providers and child raisers.

They all support policies that will gut freedom, wreck the economy and redistribute what is left of the wealth into the hands of a few wealthy individuals and corporations. 

They all fall in line with anti-science corporate greed.

They all support authoritarian police state tactics that lead to the murder of unarmed black men, women and children.

They all suck.

When will the media notice that all of the Republican candidates are just like Trump, but with better manners?

Ratfucking for Fun and Profit

Throughout the great history of this nation (which was founded around 1968, I think) RATFUCKING has been a guiding principle of all that is good and holy.  Our Nation’s founding fathers (the sweaty ghost of Richard Nixon, Lee Atwater, The Zombie Corpse of Ronald Reagan,  and Lily Von Shtupp for some reason), decreed that rats must be fucked at every opportunity.

Ask John Kerry, or Tammy Duckworth what being a war hero gets you in modern politics. They understand. The interwebs are all a quiver over Donald Fucking Trump shooting into a double digit lead over Scott “fuck the poors” Walker and Jeb “Worse than my brain damaged brother” Bush right after his attack on John “Bush already ratfucked me, bro” McCain. Of course he’s winning! He’s the one willing to fuck the rats.

The GOP base is deeply racist and homophobic. Trump’s racist rants play right into their sweet spot. +

We all know that Trump's star will fade (unless he goes all Perot and runs third party style - note to The Donald: please do this!). Eventually Walker and Jeb! will duke it out in a race to the spot just to the right of Franco. The winner of that battle will then try their best to ratfuck the Democratic nominee (probably Hillary, maybe Bernie). 

It likely wont work given demographic trends and such. But they will try. They always try.
