Trump embodies the USA and is the direct result we could only get from our two party system.

‘Murica got exactly what’ Murica deserved
There are awful, powerful people in the background pulling the levers of power, but this isn’t new
It has always been fucked. It wasn’t founded on the ideals of freedom or anything noble
It was stolen, then built with slavery, and that slavery was just rebranded as capitalism so white people would buy into it, so long as they still felt superior to everyone else
The cruelty and greed have always been the defining characteristics

That’s why I don’t necessarily blame one person here. George Carlin said it best. Selfish ignorant people vite for selfish ignorant leaders. If it wasn’t him it’d be someone else. The problem isn’t one person, it’s that such a massive amount of voters are selfish and willfully ignorant.

George Carlin also said he doesn’t vote and I didn’t agree with that. But that was one of the few things he said I actually disagreed with.

One of your own poets articulated nicely:
Sold, stolen, arriving on the nightmare Praying for a dream.

You mean rich white guys who didn’t want to pay taxes. I’m shocked America turned out the way it did.
