Your problem is you believe that the only people qualified are also the super rich. Thus you keep making these suggestions of "oh should a homeless person do it then? Should a plumber?"

I'm not going to defend everything and if everyone chilled the gently caress out on say, Russia, and actually critiqued the guy, I'd probably be on your side. Unfortunately there's this thing where its like "A RICH WHITE GUY? HE'S EVIL"

Not even close. America has a very strong socialist core to it that must be preserved in order to check corporate interests. I do believe progressives have been hijacked by corporate interests in this day and age though.

It's mostly this thing where he campaigned very strongly against monied interests having influence over politicians and when elected he just directly put said monied interests into power and cut out the middleman.

Which I suppose doesn't make what he said a lie but it certainly takes the spirit of what he was saying and breaks it into tiny pieces.

You really don't get it do you? Stop acting like being rich and white is some manner of misunderstood minority and we just cannot get past our prejudice and accept Trump as the lord and saviour that he is.

No, he is the one who should prove that he is siding with the people, that all he wants is the good of the people, but neither his words or his actions proved this. Even his empty promises he just ignored when it came to action.
There's absolutely NOTHING that would prove him worthy of trust, he brings nothing good to the table.

And again, it's even worse than normal because instead of questioning why people reject him and maybe try to reach a compromise, he just turns against them, he calls them enemies and always blames them on his shortcomings.

But why do I even bother, you just want the evil alien rulers to be thrown out and the only one who can stop it is the last action hero: Trump.

Because he's completely indefensible. You were very, very foolish to think he would drain the swamp.

Why the gently caress should they? It's taken down his National Security Adviser, and it's probably going to take down more of his organization. That's pretty hilarious.

I mean, sure, he ran on an explicitly plutocratic platform of enriching himself and his corporate cronies off the backs of working Americans such as myself and wasted no time enacting it to the exclusion of all other supposedly beneficial priorities, buuuuuuut I'm really annoyed by a youtube video of a genderqueer hipster that I voluntarily watched yesterday, so... *drops pants, bends over* git in there, Mr. President!

Spunky's just going to keep doing his thing where he pretends he's upset about corporate interests and elitist corrupt billionaires until you mention Trump and suddenly that corrupt elitist corporate billionaire is actually a great guy. The same way he'll play the calm rationalist who will sacrifice morality if it means Americans saving money at the expense of foreigners in the form of protectionism, tariffs, and deportations, because that's more important than the rights or well-being of foreigners. Then when someone mentions that the prices of food and consumer goods will increase for Americans if you keep deporting farm workers and start a trade war, suddenly he'll take offense and chastise them for suggesting that rising prices is more important than morality and it's shameful that they think so little about the rights and well-being of foreigners.

It's just nonsense. That's the only thing he stays consistent on is his absolute and unwavering devotion to Trump, and there is nothing Trump can realistically do to break that emotional bond. Look at how he tried to rationalize Trump outright saying he's not going to pursue Hillary Clinton and he just said that poo poo to get dupes riled up during the election.

This is all just plainly wrong. It's exhausting to go through and sort out where you're wrong. It comes down to this - I don't give a poo poo about Trump, especially if he stabs America in the back. If he comes through, he comes through

The two choices this time around were unrepentant corporate cocksucking warmonger and someone who was also that but lied about it and won. Anyone acting sanctimonious over this election needs to get the gently caress over themselves. If the Dems want to be the good guys, they have to act like it. Otherwise, they deserve 8 years of Trump.
