Trump isn’t crazy. He is an an amoral asshole would be fascist who is turning America’s latent racism into rabid fascistic gold like some sort of Hitlerstilskin. It doesn’t take someone “crazy” or someone with a “personality disorder” to do such a thing, it takes a person with absolutely no moral compass, no grounding in human compassion or understanding, no value for the systems that we have built over the years for joint success to say some of the things he has said, in public, proudly. But these weren’t momentary utterances of a disturbed person, oh no, Donald Trump knows exactly what he is doing by appealing to the basest among us, hell its his tried and true strategy, helped vanquish 16 would be republicans before the Trump arose the republican candidate like some sort of shit smeared phoenix from the New York Sewers.
I think saying that he is crazy, or touched, or insane lets he and his supporters off with too little of the DIRECT FUCKING BLAME all of them deserve for being people completely out of touch with American Values. People who are classically considered “crazy”, “not okay”, “insane” are generally just people with mental illnesses who, like all of us, struggle day to day to get by. Hell, I know many people of all walks of life who suffer with a mental illness, all of which have more honor and dignity in their little bitty fucking fingernail than this carrot stained mess of a man has in his entire miserable body.
It makes me awfully sore that some people on our side are trotting this out. We should be focusing on the facts: Donald Trump is an egotistical misogynistic alpha who will do anything, ANYTHING to win the presidency — just to say he did. He is a would be fascist in his ideology, and an existential threat to the United States of America, and the whole of the Western World. If Trump won, or got anywhere close it would basically be Brexit but power level 9000 and ready to go super saiyan and kick all of our asses. Count on it.
In all seriousness, calling Trump crazy is like calling Georgie-poo stupid. It lets them off. It makes them cartoons of what they actually are. I mean, I get it, I understand why people may be saying that his strategy seems crazy, but Trump suffers no delusions. He is throwing red meat to his base and they are lapping it up. Perhaps some of them have some underlying mental illnesses but that in and of itself does not a Trump supporter make. Its the tiny heart that never grew three sizes any day. That is what makes a Trump a Trump. That is what makes a Trump Supporter a Trump supporter.
I am not saying this to be over-”PC” either. I am just saying that us calling this crazy is a rationalization. “Surely”, we all think to ourselves, “Surely, this must be some mass delusion. Some weird simultaneous drug trip. These fellow travelers must not be seeing the same over-tan, blownout anus faced block of a man I am seeing” We’re liberals people. The first thing we do when something doesn’t make sense is make sense of it, and the only rational explanation it seems at times is that he legitimately is crazy.
He’s not crazy. He’s just a complete and total fuckwad. We’ve just never seen fuckwaddery on this level of American politics before.
Well people, here it is.
