It boggles the mind that this sack of shit is even in the running.
He has the charisma of a wet sponge (and the appearance of someone you’d think twice before buying a used car from), he can hardly string together a sentence (let alone hold a speech), hi lies, he commits fraud, he’s a convicted felon…
That’s hardly brushing the surface, yet people go “fuck yeah, this guy should run the country”.
Jeebuz fuckin christ… what’s happening?
Unless you got home schooled by Heinrich Himmler, there’s no excuse. You can’t possibly offer your political support to such a scumbag.
I was at a pumpkin patch 25 minutes out of Chicago on Saturday and there was a man proudly wearing a shirt with Trump on it and the shirt said, “I’m voting for the convicted felon”. His voter base does not fucking care, at all.
I know a lot of Trump supporters. Without fail their support is based on hate. LGBTQ, immigrants, the belief that Democrats are child molesters, etc. I’ve heard it all. They don’t know what his policies are, nor do they care.
I’m willing to believe someone could have voted for Trump the first time in good faith. Voting for him again after seeing the shitshow of his first term, however…
President Camacho legitimately wanted to find solutions to the problems his constituents faced, AND he had the wisdom and self-awareness to know he needed someone smarter than himself in order to achieve that. He’s willing to try things and change his mind when he is presented with new information. Furthermore, when he is successful, he shares the credit equitably with the other people involved.
Idiocracy was a movie working from the naive assumption that people are greedy and shortsighted, and that these attributes lead to social (and eventually genetic) decay.
Americans have to deal with a much harder truth. That being smart doesn’t make you virtuous and lust for power more than simple hedonistic greed is what cultivates the worst social policies. Our story is a story of pure hubris. Its a story of reasonably intelligent and educated people gaming a system that causes pain in order to pay them a profit.
We’re doing much worse than Idiocracy.
America’s sins aren’t sloth or lust or gluttony nearly so much as they are wrath and pride.

They are under the assumption that both sides are equally bad and want to see it all burn down I think. They don’t think much further however.

30 or 40 years ago he would’ve been laughed out of politics the moment he came down his gold escalator.
Running the country again…

Idiocracy. We live in Idiocracy… 500 years faster than expected.
