Putting Things In Terms Hopefully Even Idiot Trump Supporters Can Understand

After the Civil War, an Atlanta reporter interviewed a Southern woman and asked her about her opinion of General William Tecumseh Sherman. She said "I get up at 4:30 every morning so I have longer in the day to hate him." Thanks to Comrade Trump I'm getting up at 4:00 these days. Progressives use so many words, profane and other to describe the despicable idiot in the White House, but little Trumpians don't get it. I finally thought of a way: we feel about Comrade Trump just like you felt about President Obama.

Which was part of the problem, true...listening to them, they felt ignored, and felt Washington was broke. I get it - so did I.

However, I feel about Drumpf as I do as being on a bus after a new driver got installed - one who's drunk out of his gourd after a sports event (yay, his team won after paying off the ref!), and has decided that re-enacting the Keaunu Reeves "Speed" on the interstate would be a fun thing to do, instead of taking his passengers on that long, boring city street route to their destinations as the other drivers before him had been.

Obama did very little harm to them other than being Black and a Democrat. Yes, he was "an other", not on the Conservitive's home team. However, Drumpf will break all of us, not just "The Democrats".
So unless they're happy with Tens of Millions of people being threatened with bankruptcy or fatal conditions, unless they're a "Final Solution" sort of person who really does wants America White Again, Drumpf is Bad News for America.

"Fascism will come to America wrapped in a Flag and Holding a Cross".
Democracy is slipping; if they think Obama was bad, wait until they're betrayed and their freedoms and future is ripped out of their own hands by their own "leaders".
