    a cowardly weak rapist con man traitor loser

    That’s simply the norm for social media personalities in the modern era. Donald Trump’s presidency is a product of half a century of misogyny in marketing, advertising, and influencing.

    He won’t be the last rapist, con artist, or kleptocrat to run. He won’t be the last to win. Not so long as economic conditions for Americans continue to degrade, while fascist policy is championed as a panacea.

      This is my true fear.

      Like…Trump makes W look good. He’s now got this public image of a slightly daffy uncle. Like 2000-2008 were just “Earnest goes to the Whitehouse”. As if he’s as dangerous and malicious as Mr. Bean.

      By extrapolating from there…there’s gonna be someone that is gonna make Trump look good.

        This progression is necessary, otherwise the Democrats would not be able to sell every election as “the most important election of our lifetimes.” The escalation of stakes is required.
