People make astounding concessions when it comes to picking their leaders. It’s not that there’s no capability when it comes to making wise choices. I need to believe that in other aspects of their lives, they try to do the right things.
It’s just that sometimes deception plays an outsized role in politics, and the result looks like a groundswell of support for a corrupt real estate so-called magnate because a sizeable portion of the electorate thinks he’s got what it takes to “get things done.”
They’re willing to overlook the corrupt part because he talks a good game and people believe the biased news network that’s putting him on a pedestal while simultaneously lambasting the opposition in a ruthless, contrived, never-ending fear and smear campaign.
Their guy will be back in the White House in a couple months, and this time around it looks like he’ll be hitting the ground running, with hopes of kicking ass and taking names. One of a million problems with this is that he and the powerbrokers pulling the strings are trying to implement plans that will render America unrecognizable and likely impotent and more vulnerable in the world.
And all the people who voted for Trump may end up looking more like accessories to a crime. Or, at best, enablers.
It’s such an empty-souled, hateful thing he’s been doing to us for too long now. May he get resistance at every turn.
