    I sometimes have this weird fantasy where Trump is an actual genius, and his plan all along was to destroy the Republican party. I imagine him sitting on the crapper with a McDouble in one hand and his phone in the other, trying to come up with the most insane tweets he can, getting frustrated that his plan is taking so long and thinking to himself “why are these people liking this shit? It’s obviously bat shit crazy!”

    Then I come back down to this Hellscape reality and sigh as I accept that the world is just full of stupid, greedy, selfish people, and Trump is an avatar for all the worst human impulses, and that tens of millions of people would gladly follow him off a cliff so long as they get to drag the rest of us over the edge with them.

    I truly hate this place.

      I console myself by acknowledging that the only way we’re going to get a true Socialist-Democrat in office is following this batshit insanity. All we really need is for the democratic party to stop roadblocking Bernie Sanders. Hopefully this time they don’t 😭

        Sanders will be 86 years old when the next election happens. The dnc doesn’t need to roadblock him, the ravages of age and/or the grim reaper will do it for them. He’s never going to be president.
