Imagine if the dumbest person in the world and humanity’s biggest asshole were the same person, and that guy was president. Then imagine he started a war with Iran. Now check the news. One look, and here’s what you should be thinking: “Yep, that tracks.”
Disagree. The guy’s actually quite media savvy and (somehow) understands how to tap into working class resentment.
(Never mind that people like him fucking regular folks over for decades are the reason the working class is resentful)
He’s playing on easy mode. Conservatives are so easy to fool, and he has a huge media system designed to control their thoughts through the most embarrassingly simple kinds of manipulation imaginable. He works for them as a loud, obnoxious figurehead so that everyone else can contimue to be evil like they’ve a been for many decades.
Only reason we even know who this loudmouth dumbass even is is because he was born into wealth. And later propped up (by Russians?) after his bankruptcies.
He bankrupted two casinos.
All he did in 2016 was say out loud what Nixon, Reagan, and the Bush family said quietly.
