I gave up on thinking optimistically the day we “elected” an overgrown entitled frat-boy who made Warren Harding look like a genius.

Trump is being advised by many who don't see the USA as a country, but simply a market to be manipulated and exploited for gain. They don't care who he is as a person or how he corrupts the culture. Culture wars are an advantage for the very wealthy - the churn and disruption allows for money-making opportunities, and a further mask on how the masses are manipulated like puppets. Trump is widely seen as an oaf and a bully who wants to win big business deals *at any cost*, without regulation, safety, or fair representation, and lower the corporate tax rate. Trump's narcissism and those with whom he associates, makes it easy to overlook, and plainly resent, the government of the people, thinking he and his cadre are the only ones to be rewarded. His ruling fantasy appears to be along the lines of banding together with Putin and other dictators and literally making it a Trump world. Simplistic, short-sighted, mean, megalomaniacal, and very dangerous. Trump's candidacy is a feeding frenzy for opportunists and con artists of every stripe, happily willing to hold their noses, in favor of fattening their pockets. Raw greed and ego, "The New World Order" re-emerges; everything for sale, everything for further, endless, needless treasure. Divide, and conquer. Interesting analysis but this is not making me optimistic as to the ability of enough citizens to be independently thinking and acting with even a shred of real discrimination. One man, 100 corrupt men in alignment with that man, is not really the problem. The problem lies, evidently, with the lab rats who can't see they are being used. Now that is, as Drumpf likes to say, "a dizaaaaaster". ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com <mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com>, <awoelflebater@...> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com <mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com>, <salsunshineiniowa@...> wrote : To me, it's almost unthinkable that anyone who considers themselves to have any basic decency, or any empathy at all for their fellow travelers on this planet, could ever for five seconds consider voting for an such an obviously unbalanced and mentally-impaired individual as Trump. I just don't get it. Sal Me neither. No clue whatsoever. It's like the most obvious thing on the planet. The guy is utterly transparent. He is a slimeball. It is inconceivable that everyone doesn't recognize it. So strange to me. It is seriously one of those strange mysteries that eludes me totally.
