I'm Voting for Trump!

   Everything is permitted, Donald Trump will be elected President.  Rethink what you think you know.  Break the ties you have to notions of virtue and verities.  All is different now.
   We used to think that vulgarism, unfettered ignorance, and hortatory racist cant were ungood.  But they have ascended the mountaintop.  The golden calf has appeared again--this time with a comb-over. It is foolish to oppose or resist.  It matters not what the Democrats do; they have a fatal flaw--two candidates who are intelligent, decent human beings. Not good.  And it's too late to find an alternative evil.  Victory resides in realizing that the vote that counts is the upraised middle finger.
   Relish this con man.  Revisit (or encounter for the first time) prototypes in literature and film.  Twain's "The Man Who Corrupted Hadleyburg," Hans Christian Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes," Harold Hill in The Music Man; imagine the soothing voice of Shakespeare's Iago, in-your-ear in the polling both. Of course all of these pale when one thrills to the new order that Trump will usher in: everything you fear and everything you hate will be atomized.  All of us who support and vote to make "America Great Again" will be among the elect. It's gonna be incredible.
   This morning I attended a lecture on President Harry Truman.  No president left office with a lower approval rating. No wonder.  Sowed the seeds for the civil rights movement and for medicare.  But now, many decades later he's rated among the top five Presidents in the history of the office. What is wrong with this country?  That little runt did a lot of damage.
   Join me.  Don't be misled by the claptrap from both parties about decency, compassion and vision.  President Trump will transcend those mundane muddles.  He'll kick ass, wall the wetbacks out, machine gun Muslim bastards, and do us proud.  That warmth you're feeling now will glow as you growl. Can't beat it.
