If I was asked to write an article about the USA today, this would be it. While I have been aware of the existence of many deplorables, I had no real understanding of how many there are. While trump has just been the natural and logical culmination of the last fifty to sixty years of the republican party’s existence, he basically ripped the veneer off it’s true nature, exposing it for what it and its base truly are. Sludge, divorced from reality like so many five year olds, wanting what they want, when they want it and with no regard for anybody or anything but themselves. Like Bob Cesca, I fear for this country if people of good will and decency don’t unite to destroy the republican party and condemn it to the slag heap of history.
"way too many of us have become disconnected with reality, reason, and responsibility -- superseded by recklessness, selfishness, and unfiltered dumbfuckery....this phenomenon emphasized how badly deluded, gullible, and impressionable around one-third of America happens to be. Not one of them possesses a firm grasp on the difference between fact and fiction, driving us closer and closer to fascist idiocracy.... a third of us no longer trust science, experts, or facts..."
Hmmm, sounds just like the history of Christianity and Christian America. "In God We Trust." (Or, for the 1/3, "In Trump We Trust.")
