    Look, my ability to detect irony has physically atrophied in the Trump era, so this question is genuine: Are they trying to incite violent revolution against the billionaire class?

    Because you just can’t make up shit as bad as the way these fuck operate.

      Yes! They are desperate for a civil war. The longer they go without it, the more support they lose, and the more the different factions on the right begin to splinter.

      I’m convinced Trump is trying with the way he speaks about random stuff, and way too on the nose. But he knows what he can’t say, or who he can’t speak against without getting another ear shot at. There’s no way he can possibly be this dumb… Can he?

      I think if they really want to give all the hoi polloi the finger, they need to speed up the ballroom completion, then throw King Louis XVI themed parties about every week. All while yanking things like ACA and SNAP…

      I am once again wondering when the brave and free american people will stand up to this corruption in a meaningful way

          sounds like they didn’t do something meaningful enough, then

          don’t get me wrong, some people need to do that. but other people also need to do more.

    I gave up on blaming this shit on Trump over a year ago …

    … it’s all on America at this point for putting up with this shit.

    No wonder the Confederate base are so angry all the time - the amount of effort it must take to sustain the cognitive dissonance between watching the pedo-in-chief flip virtually all of America the bird, partying like Gatsby while people are getting ready to starve, and also believing at the same time that he’s for “The Forgotten Man”, must cause a lot of pain.
