In reply to the discussion: Evidence mounting that Trump's candidacy is just one big con-job [View all]davidthegnome
(2,983 posts)Those same kind of people once believed they could use and control Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. Was a hell of a job putting that particular genie back in the bottle. They are playing with Pandora's box. They never should have let Trump get anywhere near the nomination - but they propped him up, the media propped him up, they made the debates and the coverage almost something like a really awful reality show. The media, especially... is very complicit in this. How many hundreds of billions of dollars in free promotion did they have to give him? Well, they gave him enough to be really, really god damned dangerous - because... ratings.
Greed, anger, xenophobia, racism, bigotry... hatred... all of these things, these dark and ugly forces, helped unleash this particular monster - and it's a damned hungry one.
