In reply to the discussion: Michael Moore believes 'evil genius' Trump will be a two-term president [View all]betsuni
(25,798 posts)He is not an evil genius. He can't remember anything, everyone in the White House says so. Everything is in the moment, no future, no past. He will be brought down by his crimes eventually. His luck will run out. Even if he manages to hang on until 2020, the effects of his policies on the economy will start to be noticed. Farmers and manufacturers are already feeling it. This is a leaky boat taking on water.
Trump did not "figure out" how to win by losing the election. He was as surprised as everybody else. This is embarrassing, Michael Moore. Sad!
And I hate that "Dems are complacent" meme. Democrats vote, Republicans vote, the complacent ones are the uninformed or uninterested who don't vote, and the ones who don't even know there's an election. There should be public service announcements and ads to educate the public about elections, speakers going to schools to talk about how the government works, a massive push to overcome the usual American anti-intellectualism. But that takes money and I keep hearing about how money is bad and corrupts everybody, so I suppose we'll have to stick to the status quo.
