    Mmmm no. Donald Trump is the inevitable result of malignant conservative “ideology.” He hasn’t split the country in two, he’s exploited the pathological narcissism that humans use to justify selfish and self-destructive governance.

      He’s also the result of pathetic neoliberal Democrats having no idea how to seriously counter toxic populism the way FDR did.

      He has the following qualities:

      Blatant lies surrounding him.

      Bad mouthing his opponents.

      Narcissistic.

      Miser to the last living body cell.

      Objectification of opposite gender.

      Thinking of LGBTQ members as the children of Satan.

      Knows how to use Jesus for his benefit only by promoting GOP in Megachruches.

      Indoctrination of Neo Nazi kind of hatred for others in the MAGA association.

      Having coitus with ElMo’s mom and being ElMo’s godfather /s

      Discrimination based on colour.

      Formulation of economic policies like that of a pre school kid.

      I agree. He gets way too much credit. He simply exemplifies the modern Republican attitudes of being racist, misogynistic and greedy assholes in the tradition of Rush Limbaugh and dozens of other pundits and politicians.

    Blaming “craziness” and “Trump” is wrong. Every single fascist has agency. Every single fascist is responsible for themselves.

    No fucking excuses.
