I think many Americans don't even have any concept of corruption. Not anymore.
If it was any other foreign leader running to become the head of country that's refusing to release transcripts of speech they gave to big business behind closed doors, we would call it corruption.
How long do they think we can continue with this? With this corrupt Washington regime? It's really not sustainable. We can't go on like this.
We don't know what's gonna happen to our pension when there's another financial crash (and that's not "if." It's "when" , we don't know if our drinking water is safe anymore, we don't know what we're stuffing in our mouth anymore, we don't know exactly how many human beings have been killed and maimed in the name of Americans, we don't know what the fuck we're still doing in Afghanistan, we don't know when we're gonna get the hell out of MENA, we don't know for how many years we have to be in crushing debt for getting college education. We don't know how many instances of earthquakes will ensue in our neighborhood as a result of fracking.
And they expect pissed-off white Americans to bow down to probably the most corrupt democrat in American history, and let her lecture them on how "love trumps hate"?
Yeah. Good luck with that.
It took less than 30% of population to vote for Hitler in Weimar republic. But then, what really made him rise to the power was Germany's spineless, amoral liberal class that was unable (or unwilling) to fix their ailing economy, creating some really desperate people.
We have a lot of desperate people. Too many of them. And that's dangerous. They're so desperate they'll hang on to anything. They'll hang on to orange orangutan with 3rd-grade linguistic ability and a series of failed business ventures. But you can bet they'll have that over duplicitous, corrupt faux-liberal who has sold them down the shitter for the last two decades.
