Silent Majority
The Don
LORD COMMANDER OF THE UKRAINIAN ARMED FORCES
The High Hall of the GOP is alive with music and chatter. Delegates and donors mill about on the floor, hobnobbing and gossiping. The sound of flutes and lutes and wine being poured fills the air.

The Donald rises from his seat at the high table and gestures for silence. He takes young Ser Christie by the arm, and together they face the crowd.

"Not long ago, I returned to New Hampshire with a young man who had saved my campaign," Trump begins. "You all know him as the finest governor of New Jersey; five times he has driven my campaign to victory." The crowd applauds.

"I know him as the one who takes the place of the endorsement I lost. I have in him the love I would have of an endorser's achievements." Trump gestures for Christie to join him.

"Nothing could make stronger the bond between us, but tonight I wish to share it with you all. The formalities of adoption have been completed. Young Ser Christie is now the legal bearer of my name and the formal heir to my campaign."

The crowd comes alive with commotion. Christie, bearing his robes and tunic with the grace of a highborn, turns to Trump, astonished.

"This ring of my ancestors," Trump says, "would have gone to Cruz, but he's dead. So now it is yours. If you can fit it on your fat finger."

Christie pushed the ring onto his pinkie as though in a daze. Finally, he turns to the crowd.

"It is a strange destiny that brought me to a new life," he says, "a new campaign...a new leader. It brought me here, it may take me away. But I will always bear this ring as a son of The Donald should. With gratitude, affection, and with winning."

Trump turns away to pour himself more wine as the crowd cheers. Christie stands motionless in the spotlight, then scuttles off the stage.

Soon we shall all be Chris Christie, looking on frozen with some bizarre cocktail of awe, jealousy, horror, and dread as Trump leads us on whatever adventure his whim calls for that day.

the green papers are still the go-to for explaining why ryan probably won't lose his primary (trump got like 20% in his district) or why debbie wasserman-schultz won't lose her primary (bernie got like 30% in her district)

and for down-ballot bullshit

Over half of our government literally never stops campaigning, because they only sit for 2 years which is just enough time for an upstart to start trashing them in advance of the next cycle

Of course unlike AU or CA we have 50 states and some of them with more population than either of those countries so we can just be like, "okay and today we'll have the primaries for all the provinces with the lowest population density in the whole world"

once i tried to separate the us into australias. i just found it in my gmail

the areas with the lovely mspaint = sign are about equal in population to australia. the areas with the lovely mspaint 1/2 are half-australias. the united states can be divided fairly evenly and with some respect to cultural divisions into twelve australias and four half-australias

At first I thought he was referring to the racial use of it (black on the outside, white on the inside) and that confused me because that seems like the only kind of black person Trump could personally tolerate. Then it became apparent he was literally talking about the literal cookie and somehow it makes even less sense

This is something he's been tossing out occasionally since almost day 1 btw

i think oreo makes their cookies in mexico or some poo poo? it's definitely some og trump rally poo poo he's been saying it from very early on i think it's kind of a deep cut for his long time fans

also missouri has like 6 million loving people in it, they're like a fifth of an australia on their own. bigger than the sydney or melbourne metro areas, or at least about the same size but i think bigger. it's crazy how few people there actually are down under

also australia has about the same population as taiwan i think, and baseball is like the tenth most popular sport in australia and the most popular sport in taiwan, but australia's sent several times more people to the major leagues than taiwan has. aussies are sports-crazy

im guessing oreos arent made in america or something.

i mean he's not telling people to boycott nabisco because that'd involve looking for something besides the big broad branding in front of their faces, something that might be a bit of a stretch for the average trump supporter.
