How do you know that I am •unwitting• and “not aware of the full facts” of modern (American) politics?

I see Trump differently. He is in a sense similar to yours a manifestation of “karma” (but this implies a distributor of karmic reactions) but I see him as a •manifestation• in a Jungian sense: those Great Men who appear on the world stage for a whole range of reasons — psycho-social, subliminal, even unconscious. The fact is that Trump has significantly disrupted the American political and social show. I see that as positive however his chaos is also dangerous. And I make the choice to ally myself with that rather than support the (detestable) Democrat establishment. I admit my contempt of them has an irrational element.

I like many more of the people who like (admire and admire/tolerate) Trump than I do any Democrat that I can think of. I bank on them and their potential influence if it happens that the tide is shifted in America. It is improbable — downward trends hardly ever reverse themselves before the bottom out in catastrophe — and so I play my part in a theatre of enactment though I don’t have much faith in the possibility of improvement.

All of my Liberal and ultra-Liberal friends from my university days all voted for Biden (I’ve always lived in ultra-Liberal college towns) and I am out to spite them! May their tofu go rotten and poison them! It is an issue of the ethics of spite: I am preferring that displaced, abused, broke and angry Northern workingman to those faggoty snots I used to know. I want to see them squirm when Payback Day comes round the corner.

Here's how most people in the world see Trump. Apparently he has trouble keeping it in, because he is so full of it.

The only thing that's missing is the golden toilet bowl. If he poops in that, he could readily can it and sell it to his devotees as a limited edition of a purely personal nature; after all, he needs the money to pay for his army of lawyers. Considering all the verbal shit his many devotees have unconditionally accepted and even applauded, such a personal souvenir of his inner being consisting of digested cheeseburgers being so compatible with his saintly verbal output, would be akin to bidding on a holy relic.

Yes indeed.

It's like what I pointed out in the thread titled "Trump - a puzzling enigma" back in 2020 where I uploaded this picture...



As I stated back then, judging from that woman's expression, Trump could hock-up a loogie and spit it into her child’s mouth and she would think it was an act of Holy Communion wherein the child is directly receiving a literal aspect of the body of their savior, thus negating the need for any of that transubstantiation business.

Furthermore, it's a darn good thing that Trump's name is larger than Jesus' name in that sign, otherwise, there could have been some serious trouble.

Bannon called him “an armor-piercing shell” while acknowledging his many unsavory imperfections. That is how I take him.

It is very silly to criticize my choice in the typical terms of “stupidity” of lack of proper information. But if that blows your dress up…

Those with The Syndrome, blind to their own complexes and projections, seem always to go this route.

We are watching a documentary ATM "The RIse and Fall OF Boris Johnson". It has truck me that the problems of the Anglo-AMerican world seem less about the obviously useless Trump and Boris; the problem is with the people and their insane propensity to adulation..

In the Mandate's foreword, the Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts writes: "The long march of cultural Marxism through our institutions has come to pass. The federal government is a behemoth, weaponized against American citizens and conservative values, with freedom and liberty under siege as never before."

If you really think the US is best run on Putin's model then by all means vote for Trump. But make no mistake that is what you are getting.
