Trump the Savior

Trump the savior

Many will look at the title and turn their heads and wonder what the hell is this fool writing about.  Certainly, if there is one thing we have all learned is that Trump is about as deep as a rain puddle.  He is without a doubt a man without anything but an ego and a loud mouth.  He is all bluster, a clown who will say anything as long as the lights and the camera are on him.
He talks of being a businessman with the acumen of a savant.  He is little more than a silver spoon product of a magnate who happened to be a successful land owner in Manhattan.  In fact, there was one report if he had done nothing with all he had inherited, he would have more assets than he currently possesses.  He is nothing short of a product of a system that rewards wealth.  His TV show was perhaps the best example of how absolutely absurd this economic system has become.  The mixture of celebrities and silly enterprises was an excursion into banality.
That he could take that platform and bring it to the political circus shows that our country has fallen into the hands of idiots.  The irony is that his tribe of pampered rich assholes can be paraded in front of us after a primary election brings out just how gullible people are.  Can’t people see that not a single person in the Trump clan has any connection with the average American.  From his trophy wife to his children, they are all of a different class.  Look at their designer clothes, and the smiles upon their faces, while average schmucks, in their beer stained t-shirts and worn out jeans cheer and shout USA.  Trumps gave a few chorus, but stopped as soon as he began; his wife’s face was a picture of incomprehensibility and his daughter has an all too bored look.
But how can I postulate that this guy is a savior of this country.  First and foremost, he is so far out of the mainstream and possesses so much power, he can with bear like efficiency swipe at and destroy a dynasty of political icons.  Swipe! Bush is back in Florida looking for another brain dead victim to infuse his moral sense of absurdity.  He shouts down a Texan charlatan, in the vein of Elmer Gantry, and exposes his duplicitous if not nefarious tactics.  He takes on Fox News and throws Ailes and his operatives to the side.  Hell, he even takes on the Pope’s moral authority.  All the while the Republicans look at this Frankenstein and wonder if this is the devil demanding his due.  After all, they, the establishment Republicans, had sold their collective soul to get the masses to revere Ronald Reagan and allow one election to be stolen.  Of course, Cheney was the devil’s emissary promising to scorch the earth and promote hatred.  A job the devil himself looks on with some astonishment.
So hopefully Trump will so fracture this sad excuse of a party into two segment with someone like Bloomberg entering the fray in an attempt to bring some sense of morality back to a party that once choose Lincoln to carry its banner.  That was when the south and its bigots and slave owner flocked to the Democrats.  Of course, the Democrats soon brought change to the fetid states of bigotry and Nixon and then the rest of the greedy politicians began to pander to all those racists looking to keep people in their place and fly the flag of stars and bars.
So Trump can certainly fracture the party which is a good thing.  But the Democrats need to splinter as well.  A two party system is easily manipulated by moguls.  All the tycoons need to do is split their money.  Sort of like betting on two sides of a football game.  Meaning one doesn’t really care who wins because all that concession money goes to the operators.

It is time we have a far left, a center left, a center right, and a far right.  Then jerks like McConnell will need the support of rational people to hold on to his lofted seat.  Compromise between at least two or three parties will result in a system of government that was how ours was designed.  This current travesty of democracy lets a minority game the system.  Fools armed only with silly beliefs who promote hatred and ignorance prance about exercising their authority like bullies in the playground.  Trump can take the country to new arenas of compromise.  Surely something he could never fathom or even understand.
