With 110 days until the Presidential Election, I’ve reached a crossroads. The GOP is an absolute clown show and the convention in Cleveland has the party perilously perched on the edge of the abyss. While I am not certain that these are death throes for the party of Lincoln, these are the jaundiced, seizure riddled days that indicate the necessity of a rapid change of course to avoid catastrophic failure. Following two decades of executive power creep, the GOP now seems resigned to nominate a candidate thoroughly unfit to serve as president.
Donald Trump is a man that is massively disconnected from the reality that Americans live in. Aside from never experiencing a life other than opulent wealth, his business credentials are dubious, his methods are suspect, and his qualifications for the presidency are nonexistent. His policy proposals range from the absurd to the morally reprehensible. Trump’s suggestion that America should default on its debts and break existing trade agreements, would thrust the world economy into a state of unprecedented uncertainty and instability. The failed state dystopic solution of deporting over 10 million people from our nation and building a gigantic border wall with Mexico, actually sounds like a rejected plot from a shitty sequel to the Lego Movie. (Walls never work, and have never worked, not even on Game of Thrones)
Donald Trump supporters, you are being had. You are being taken for suckers, punks, fools, rubes, marks, patsys, and idiots. You are being fed a steady diet of falsehoods and half truths.
America is not a failed or failing state, we are militarily, economically, culturally and socially stable. America has problems with education, race relations, gun violence, terrorism, sexism, the influence of money on politics, a shrinking middle class, and more, but electing Donald Trump will solve none of them. This is why every day, for the next 109 days I’ll provide one reason of varying importance as to why you should not vote for Donald Trump.
- America should never be put in a position to elect the 49th billed cast member of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York to the White House.
