      Because he embodies American values. Greed, ignorance, show-boating and self importance.

      The Republicans have been waging war against our education system for 50+ years, and brainwashing their constituents. It’s a literal cult.

      Trump is the leader the US deserves. “Allegedly civilized” is exactly right. No matter who runs our country, it’s always been an orphan-crushing machine. Trump is more of the same, but without the mask.

      I’ve been asking that a lot lately too. I think a lot of people are extremely susceptible to the kind of propaganda that the right wing media peddles and they’re too dumb to know or don’t care to know the difference between opinions and news. Add to that the fact that the right wing has been politicizing everything and waging war on entertainment and there’s a lot of people in this country that only seem to get their news and entertainment from places like Fox News.
