    Our people don’t deserve a leader like him.

    Our people prefer charismatic liars that tell us we can get moooore than our neighbors if we play the rigged game and work against one another.

    Our people would much rather have a 0.1% chance of lucking into a lifestyle of perverse gluttony than have a 100% chance of everyone having a roof, a bed, and a full belly at night.

    Our people are selfish and cruel.

    I haven’t and won’t vote for any Republican ever, but I will admit, Donald Trump is the perfect reflection of the United States of America. We couldn’t ask for a mascot more reflective of our practiced values. He is the USA personified. All the toxic, antisocial traits we celebrate about ourselves: proud Greed, proud willfull ignorance, vanity, arrogance, all the - isms, unearned confidence, cruelty, gluttony, schadenfreude, nepotism, you might as well run him up a flag post and sing the star spangled banner while eating apple pie at a baseball game.

      Doesn’t hurt that most Americans probably can’t even conceptualize what this even means, and have no understanding of just how big of a difference there is between those two percentages. They don’t even know what an order of magnitude is, let alone the implications of several.
