Insulted

I am really insulted by Trump and Trump's chumps. They all seem to think that I and a majority of other voters are idiots who will believe anything. They are acting as if we are dumb clucks on an egg farm who will actually buy the notion that being plucked, fried, and eaten by the plutocrats Trump represents will finally free us from George Orwell's infamous farmer!

News flash: The failure of trickle down economics was made abundantly clear by the crash of 2008, and the efforts of the GOP to obstruct the recovery after Obama's election demonstrate beyond all doubt just how intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt the Republican Party has become. The only clap-trap from the GOP establishment that base Republicans still accept is the absurd lie that the crash of 2008 was somehow the fault of Barack Obama even though he did not assume the office of President until 2009, or in the alternative, that the crash of 2008 has no baring on our present economic situation.  Unfortunately the other thing the base Republicans still accept is the nihilistic contention of the demagogues that all government is evil. The base Republicans embrace this disparagement of government because they know they are getting hosed and do not know who else to blame.  God knows you would not want to look at history, even recent history -- only a smart-ass intellectuals do that.

The bottom line is that far too many low information voters are feeling desperate enough to turn to a fascist strongman such as Donald Trump never realizing that Trump will not only double down on the failed policies of the establishment, but that he will do so with a vengeance.  As the expression goes, Trump "has the soul of an accountant," and those failed policies are good for his bottom line.  So he will treat us the same way he treats the contractors he stiffs, the laborers he exploits, and the students of Trump U. who are suing him for fraud.
