Who knew Trump would be such a uniter? Oh, he's working hard to divide the country but, in doing so, he is uniting more of America than he is dividing. The women's marches in DC and all around the US and the world proved that. More people attended the woman's march in DC the day after the inauguration than attended the trump inauguration itself. And this was by bigly numbers. Trump has made us realize- very quickly- that women, men, Mexicans, Muslims and gays- we're all in this together. Anyone who is with Trump was already divided against us before him. He just happened along at the right time. It could literally have been anyone like him.
But, even some Trump voters are starting to realize how crazy he is and how wrong they were. Not in throngs, not yet. But, it's only been a week. I read a piece earlier in Mother Jones that suggested that Trump's tweets aren't for we the people, the media or congress but rather, for his loyal minions. Trump watches TV and sees Bill O'Reilly going on about the "carnage" in Chicago and immediately tweets out something bold and vague about him sending the feds there if Chicago doesn't solve itself. The people also watching Fox see that tweet and, well, it's as if he's speaking directly to them! Oh my!
Same with that stupid fucking wall. It's not for US- it's for THEM. He told them he was going to build it and though he freaking lied about making Mexico pay for it, any idiot who believed Mexico would pay for it can now forget that part of the insane, unnecessary wall and be thrilled and impressed that he is keeping his promise to, them. These are not deep-thinkers, these Trumpolines. He seems to be aware of that.
Their takeaway is that he's fulfilling a promise to them. It's a stupid, unnecessary promise but, by golly, he's keeping it! No matter how much it costs them. Same with the dismantling of Obamacare. They'll figure out the first time they go to the doctor that Obamacare was the ACA and they're no longer covered but, he did what he said he was going to do, by golly!
And it will be the same with a Muslim registry if that comes to pass. You don't register people without the intent of deporting all of them so, at the very least that's a carrot to dangle in front of the dumb asses for several months or a couple of years. Whatever it takes.
But, that's for them- the great, unwashed masses of Trump voters who knew not what they were doing. There wasn't as many of them but, there were enough in key states to take advantage of The Electoral College (an archaic Affirmative Action program for republicans) and the rest is history. Interesting that Trump is currently obsessed with investigating non-existent *voter fraud* in California to prove that he also really won the popular vote. He won't spend a penny on the obvious interference of Russia (in his favor) of the election he technically won but, he'll go plenty pound-foolish on investigating Americans. He must know which side his khleb is buttered on. We do too.
It's bittersweet fun perusing the internet and watching some of the stupidest people on the planet defend this clown. With some it hasn't affected them yet but, it surely will. Come tax time it will. That wall ain't gonna pay for itself and neither Trump's cronies nor the poor will be paying for it. Not with money anyway.
Your average Trumpeteer is as vengeance-driven as Trump himself. They all want revenge against Obama, his *liberals* and the blacks that offend them. And against women and everyone else that makes them afraid. They voted for vengeance when they voted for Trump. They did not consider that they would be the ones getting avenged. Trump is at war with America. They won't get that until it's too late.
Well, it's only been a week. We saw this coming a year ago. They'll catch up one day....
