Trump, besides being a malignant ding-dong, is something of a political terrorist. And he get his power from how people conflate his political power with actual power as a person. Politically, because he is an avatar for some pretty messed up shit in our political system, he is something of a God King.
But as an actual human being, he’s just a lazy, dumb piece of shit.
The point is — if he becomes president again, it will say more about us as a nation than him as a political leader.
He’s not a Great Man. He doesn’t warp history to his personal needs, he just rides its trends. And, at the moment, there is a macro trend towards the United States become a white Christian ethnostate — or being forced to decide if it wants to become one — and, as such, Trump could very well become POTUS again.
This, despite what a fucking idiot he is.
So, I dunno. It really could go either way this fall. And if Trump becomes POTUS again, we will have only ourselves to blame.
