    The reality is that Trump is here because we thought we could play games. We thought we could demand perfection and were under the impression there was no way he would win again. He appealed to people because he speaks simply and the average person doesn’t think about these things.

    And the racist fucks.

      Trump does not ‘speak simply’. When he’s not rambling incoherently, he’s just bullying and abusing people. That’s apparently what Americans liked.

        Maybe not now, but he was a bit more coherent in 2016. And by speaking simply, we mean he says things directly like “we’re going to solve all your problems!” It may be idiotic, it may never be a possibility, but he says ‘simple’ things that tell people what they want to hear.

          He was not. It’s been nonsense the whole time aside from when people called him on his shit, then he used no more than 6 words per sentence to insult people only. Other than that, the dude doesn’t think.

          Bankrupted a fucking casino.

          A CASINO.

            Also is a pedophile and a billionnaire. And a felon. And, not that relevant to me, but to evangelists it is – an atheist.

            If there were any reason for a Republican to dislike him, Trump would be the perfect summary. But turns out, Republifascists prefer to be so deep in their own shit that they don’t care. They only think “Mine mine mine mine and the rest can whine!”. They don’t want a better world (not even for themselves), they want everyone else to lose.

            Every single one person who voted for him, was bought out by Big Money.
