Thoughts on the Death of Liberalism, Part XLVII

Tuesday, September 5th, 2017

A lot of people have said a lot of things about Trump’s DACA thing, today. But as far as I can tell, nobody has said anything about the only issue that really matters, here.

Are we a democracy, or not?

And if we’re not, than why should anyone care about any of these losers in politics?

The demographic that matters here is the same one that always matters the most. White, working class men. The people who vote. The people who run the vast majority of our nation’s businesses. The people who will ultimately decide the future of the country.

Are they going to get what they voted for, for once? Or are they not? And if they’re not, than why the hell should any of them care one bit about Trump, or Obama, or any of those idiots?

I saw much of the press conference that Trump’s spokeswoman gave, and read the comments from Trump today. And I read what Obama said, and what the celebrities said, and about what the media outlets were saying. Not one person- not even ONE- framed this issue correctly.

This issue is not about “opportunity”. It’s not about children, or even immigration. It’s about whether or not the white, working class male demo is going to stay loyal to the empire or not.

Are we a democracy, or are we not? And if we’re not, than what is the point?

Trump, as usual, punted. Just like I said so many times earlier, he’s a Bush with a different haircut.

The oligarchs just continue to dig themselves in deeper and deeper.

It would have been better, and easier, and more logical, for them to have simply bowed to the power of the working classes and ended DACA on day 1 of Trump’s admin.

As it stands, the oligarchs need to get the fuck over themselves, and fast.

They are in danger here of losing everything, and they will, the second the white working classes say, finally, to hell with the empire and the assholes that run it. At that moment, the party is over, and it ain’t never coming back.

This- THIS- is the thing to fear, here. Fuck all other concerns. Those can and should be shelved.

Trump had better pray that people take to him over all of this hurricane bullshit. He’d better pray that this North Korea nonsense actually works. If it doesn’t, he’s doomed, and so are the rest of them.

The clock is ticking.

The Key Problem With Trump, Part XXIV

Tuesday, September 5th, 2017

I’m getting sick and tired of Trump looking as though he’s embarrassed of his own voter base.

This… problem does not seem to be getting any better.

It’s aggravating and infuriating to see the orange fool try to do everything in his power to avoid appearing publicly that he identifies with or supports the agenda of those who voted for him.

It’s getting tiresome and endlessly frustrating. It’s like pulling teeth to actually get table scraps from the arrogant, stupid fools that run the GOP.

Trump failed his base, yet again, when he refused to act as though he had a problem with illegal immigration, yet again. His mistakes regarding his so-called “repeal” of the DACA program are these:

1) He refused to take ownership of his actions today, instead having those underneath him deliver the news. I’m referring to Sessions, his spokeswoman, etc.

Trump looks like a coward, and again like he doesn’t care to put a face to the concerns that his base has. Obama would NOT have done this with an issue so important to his own base. He would have owned up to it, and guided the process along publicly, in person. Trump, being a weakling who does not understand or want to be a part of the demographic he pretends to represent, refuses, yet again, to do anything himself that might upset his fellow billionaires. What a pussy.

2) Trump waited far far too long to move against DACA, and even then, he did not move boldly, or with any kind of confidence. In waiting for the cover of the hurricanes, he looks unsure of why he’s even doing this stuff (which he probably is). My thinking here is that Trump knew that his base demanded some action, somehow, on immigration, but he didn’t want to move too openly against it, because he was frightened of what people would say about him if nothing else was clogging up the news. Again, what a pussy.

3) Trump didn’t actually end DACA in the way that Obama actually made it, or in the way that Obama actually made anything. Trump is just shifting the “blame” for enforcing the nation’s laws here to congress, so that he can weasel out of his responsibilities of representing his voters, yet again.

4) Trump, as usual, lets his damn brats walk all over him. That candlelight vigil they held? Disgusting. They should have been fired for that. Seeing the members of a presidential administration openly mock the president himself,as Trump’s own kids do so regularly with him, is just nauseating. Honestly, Trump is such a fucking weakling that it turns my stomach.

5) It is horrifically difficult to even get the “conservative” politicians here to make any effort at all at even providing lip service towards the things that their voters want. Our political system is annoying and painful as hell to be a part of, and that is most especially the case when dealing with “conservative” people like Trump and Ivanka and that Kushner twerp.

6) I’m getting tired of “conservative” GOP politicians verbally backhanding their own voters. And Trump especially seems fond of doing this, like he really, really does not respect or even like the people that he feels he’s being forced to represent.

I’m referring here to the news that Trump “wrestled” with ending DACA. Trump, you ass, ending DACA is what your voters WANT. A politician should not have to “wrestle” with the idea of doing something that the people who voted for you might approve of. Trump, are you listening?

This news is just another is a very, very long line of offensive and insulting things that Trump has hurled at his own base since the day after he was elected, and I’m sick and tired of hearing it.

Trump, if doing the things that your base wants are causing such problems for you, then why the hell are you even still President? Quit your job and take your billions and go live on an island somewhere if the nation’s voters are being such an inconvenience to you.

Honestly, what the FUCK?

Did Obama “wrestle” with whether or not Obamacare should be put in place? Or with DACA itself? Or with anything that he did? Would Hillary have “wrestled” with enacting anything that SHE wanted? No, of course not.

Trump, you know, if your voters are getting in the way of you enjoying life, then please, please do go away and leave the job to someone else.

You know, that’s it for today. I have others things to do, here.
