Self. Hatred. Impugning. Trump. Happens!
Projection of such an incredible amount of animus directed at one individual must be an indicator of a huge lacking in our culture. Common decency aside, the simple repetition of such hostility must be masking other ills. If this is indeed what lies beneath the surface in contemporary life are we not fortunate that this exposure reveals a mindset that hitherto has only been expressed in negative actions at home and especially abroad? We should be grateful that the persona of one individual has been the litmus we have lacked for several decades. A golden opportunity for national introspection is at the horizon. We simply cannot afford to overlook it.
He’s bigly, he’s richly, he’s a celebrity and he TWEETS!, every day. Can’t get any more American than that. Why would anyone doubt his bonafides? Need to talk to the head guy in Kapowistan; no problem. He’s knows him. Did a deal once. An ARTful deal, of course. Need an overnight in South Badwasser: he’s got a place there, actually two: you have comps! What other President has done business in half the world or would even know where Kapowistan is? Tell me that!
Is Donald Trump considered to be in apostasy by his multitude of detractors? Is that what is behind the sudden manifestation of a home grown Red Guard sprung up to defend the faithful? Is this then a quasi-religious uprising cloaked in the sacred mantle of old time Americanism? If so, perhaps we need an old time exorcism to cast demons from the guardsmen before they tear the temple down.
Remember, it was only an election folks, we’ve had them before. Sometimes you lose. That is no excuse for rioting, looting and assault on opponents. You could try to help instead. If you have something to offer the apostate to guide him through his new journey perhaps you should come forward. He could use your help even if it fills you with loathing being in the presence. Courage. You will have another chance in four short years.
Introspection is Un-American.
i am afraid that not just introspection, but any kind of reflection (not to speak of truely deep thinking) is o more part of The American Way.
That is deeply saddening, because it shows that the end is very near.

The whole dysfunctional “democracy” needs to burn to the ground and the ashes scattered. Too bad that the citizens will suffer from their stupidity.
