Is Trump a "Monster from the Id?" [View all]

[LongTomH]

For those who remember the wonderful sci-fi film Forbidden Planet (1966): one of the themes of the film was a 'Great Machine' built by an advanced alien race that could materialize anything they could imagine. It worked only too well! Eventually they had to go to sleep; but, the great machine kept working and reached into the deepest, darkest reaches of their subconscious minds - the "id' in Freudian terms. What came out was monsters created by their darkest dreams, their hates, fears, their "lust for destruction." and the monsters destroyed them.

The GOP has been delving into the deepest, darkest regions of the minds of their base; what has come out has been Donald Trump, and they're unable to shut off the machine that created him!
