Quote:Are All Trump Supporters F*cking Dumb? An Investigative Series (Part 1) 4/29/2016
You can read a truckload of sh*t theorizing about Donald Trump's seemingly impossible rise to become the inevitable Republican nominee for president.
Some of them are anti-Trump and fantasize about a contested convention in Cleveland in July. That ain't gonna happen. Some are just Ol' Yellers, standing in line, waiting for the sweet kiss of a bullet to put down their diseased party.
That would be anti-Trump conservatives like the New York Times's David Brooks, who really wrote that he's going to spend less time in "the bourgeois strata" and will spend more leaping "across the chasms of segmentation that afflict this country." Well, bully for you, Dr. Livingstone. Give the hottentots of Alabama our regards.
Then you get Trump-lovin' opinionators like Wayne Allan Root, who, writing for Fox "news," says that the real reason "people" support Trump is President Obama has made the economy suck.
Let WA-Root explain it all for you: "I understand that President Obama has wrecked the U.S. economy. We are in an economic disaster. And it can get worse. Much worse. If someone who thinks just like Obama is elected, we could slide into economic Armageddon."
Now you may look at that and think, "Huh. I didn't realize that creating millions of new jobs overwhelmingly in the private sector and cutting the unemployment rate in half brought us to the precipice of the End Times," but f*ck you. You don't understand Economics with a capital mother*ckin' E like WA-Root, who is hisself a bidnessman who has him some bidnesses.
You could write days and days of bloggery disputing all the nonsense in WA-Root's anxiously masturbated scribblings.
For instance, he dribbles, "Republicans are the private sector. We own our own small businesses. Or we work for private sector businesses. Or we’re independent contractors -- real estate brokers, stockbrokers, car salesman, insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, etc."
Just the first sentence there: "Republicans are the private sector." Republicans control both houses of Congress, have total control over the legislatures and governorships of 23 states, and share in control of 20. Republicans are actually the goddamn government for most of the nation. To deny that is to dwell in myopic madness and a miasma of meaninglessness. Or support Trump. Pretty much the same things.
Then WA-Root drops this truth barrel bomb: "We know Obama, Hillary and the mainstream media are lying about 'economic recovery.' There is no recovery. We have been living in an 8-year-long Obama Great Depression.
Yes, those living in New York (Wall Street), San Francisco (Silicon Valley) and Washington, D.C. (government jobs and contracts) are fat and happy. But everywhere else in-between, the people are in severe trouble."
Which would be totally true if it wasn't factually false. 'Cause, see, in the real world, the states that have recovered from the Great Recession most are the ones in-between, like Texas, Colorado, Utah, Michigan, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, and more.
Yeah, California did damn well and New York made it out okay, but the area around DC has had mediocre growth. Sh*t, that's leaving out North Dakota, which boomed because of fracking but is now going bust because of it.
You gotta read the rest of it. You'll pause every now and then and wonder, "Is he writing from some f*cking wormhole that has made him fall into an alternate dimension? 'Cause this sure as sh*t ain't the country where we're all living now"
WA-Root's point here is that people like him understand that "only a capitalist billionaire businessman can possibly turn this nightmare around." So he believes that Trump has the support he has gotten because of on emphasis on financial issues, on relieving us of the economic "nightmare" under Obama.
And to believe that, you either have to be willfully blind or so filled with lies and bullshit that your eyes smell like a rancher's boots.
By the time WA-Root gets to asserting that many Democrats "are in school, or college, or broke and jobless living in mommy and daddy’s basement eating Doritos, while watching Jerry Springer," you realize that the only way you can vote for Trump is to delude yourself.
Sure, as long as you can ignore the millions of Trump worshippers who love him for his racism and xenophobia, you can rely on a series of vague insults that sound good but offer nothing but comfort for the hateful.
Really, WA-Root? The economy? Motherf*cker, you yourself give away the game when you say, "Sure, Trump has failed but he came back bigger and better than ever, each and every time."
Trump failed during the reigns of both Bushes (one of his corporate bankruptcies was in 2009, but the filing started in 2008). He "came back bigger and better than ever" during Democratic presidencies, Clinton and Obama.
Score for Trump voter WA-Root: "F*cking Dumb."
