    What is Trump’s brand again? Remember his game show’s theme song? Something about being a proudly greedy fuck? The same thing Americans have been indoctrinated worship and aspire to since the Reagan Revolution?

    Thank the bipartisan worship of market capitalism and greed for Trump, for the rejection of academia, for the ruins of public education, the end of regulation(like antitrust) and law enforcement as it stifles profitability, for the end of the habitability of the planet… on and on.

    And we’re still unwilling to reject economic growth/metastasis and working against one another to get moar as our only pursued national goals, even here, at the fucking end. Pathetic.

    I wouldn’t vote for him with a gun to my head, but let’s not kid ourselves, Donald Trump is about as representative of this shithole as it gets. He’s like the United States as a country took human form, a fat, proudly ignorant, proudly greedy, ego score obsessed bully in an ill fitting suit who would sell his own children for the right price. He’s more American as it is than apple pie ever was, and at least as American as our national pastime of school shootings. 🇺🇸
