Even if it’s hyperbole, even if it’s mostly for votes, even if Donald Trump just says shit because he knows it resonates with his fucking base, why would he say the stuff he says, anyway? He must know he’s sounding more like a dictator every day. His rhetoric is most likely not an accident. Still, he emanates a vibe that says, “I just like talking big. I enjoy the bully shtick. I love that people seem to love me.”
Trouble is, half the country, if polls are accurate, is buying his act. They like the sound of it. So they must be unbothered by the prospect that America the (truly) Beautiful is teetering on the edge of being no more.
I’m not buying that Trump, if elected, would have an easy time of implementing all the dystopian ideas he and others have been spewing. It’s just that to utter them in the first place and seemingly find so much fertile soil, so many receptive ears, is a troubling development.
Fear, lies, deceit, and paranoia. Helluva platform.
