    This isn’t the first one made of him. So it took a few to push people over.

    A reminder that it isn’t Trump, but the ones who support him that are the problem, and there are so many of them. And even they are also just a symptom of a deeper illness. A self-perpetuating one.

      They want something to be nominally angry about because we all made fun of them for only caring about gas prices. This is cover. I won’t assume intentionality where irrationality has always reigned, but the holier-than-thou crowd prefers a spiritual boogeyman to admitting they are just selfish little children.

        There are lots of problems, but some are more dependent on the others, so pick your battles. There are also predicaments. Whether or not the biggest problems are really that is debatable. But have to start somewhere.

          Right, you just literally said Trump wasn’t a problem, which is quite obviously false. I know what you meant, but it sounded bad.
