Of all the things that bother me about Herr Hair

[KentuckyWoman]

the fact his communication with the world is Twitter like he's Jr. High. That bothers me the most.

He's THAT guy. No maturity. No sense. Actually most preschoolers have more sense than anyone in that family.

It's that we put THAT guy in the White House. America did. I have friends and neighbors that voted for him because we all set around and let the media spend 25-30 years convincing the easily convinced that fighting for working people is a bad thing and Hillary is especially dangerous and a real blankety blank.

Now they have their poster child to take the media light so they can play in the darkness. Play their little games they play... the predators I mean. The political and economic predators who make life miserable all around the world and call it "freedom" and "opportunity".

Whatever is going on back behind the stage lights is going to make life hell for future generations.

Mark it on the calendar....

1. it's the people and institutions around him that enabled all this that bother me.

we'll always have people like donnie who, for various reasons, should never be allowed to wield anything like the power of the oval office.

such people will always exist, and some chunk of them will attempt to gain such power.

no stopping that.



what we can do something about, and can realistically wish for and work for better, is to change the people and the institutions that enabled and continue to enable him.

personally, i believe it's the media that's in most need of changing, though another possibility is the electoral process. donnie got a lot of votes from republicans who would have preferred some other republican but ended up not having that choice. there are other voting methods, where, e.g., where instead of having a single vote, you rank order all the candidates.

no voting method is going to be perfect, but we can certainly improve on what we've got.

that said, the media is still the #1 problem, imho. they gave donnie 80% of the coverage, drilling into our heads that at least he's someone we ought to be eager to hear speak, then using the rest of the time to say hillary's mired in scandal -- all without really saying how horrible a president donnie would be or how ludicrously made-up hillary's "scandals" actually were -- is inexcusable and a huge reason (yes, there were others) we ended up with this nightmare.
