I wish to discuss Donald Trump. I hope you haven’t just eaten because I’m fully aware of the effect even thinking about that man can have on a full stomach. Though really, this isn’t about the most vile politician in America, this is more about Americans. And the eternal question: WHY ARE THEY SO UNBELIEVABLY FUCKING STUPID????

With every indictment the combed-over heap of lard gets, his ratings go up in the polls. And ok, this is the ‘Republican only’ polls because its for the right to stand as their candidate. And I appreciate that Republicans are traditionally at the conservative, gun-lovin’, anti-abortion, pro-slavery, super-Christian and hence fairly dim end of the political spectrum, but really? The man gets accused of corruption and its ‘politicisation!!’ Yeah, maybe so, but he’s still corrupt. He gets caught with ‘documents’ in his home which he shouldn’t have. But not, like, three sheets of A4 in a little blue folder, we’re talking hundreds and hundreds of highly sensitive, top secret files, just sitting in his bathroom and bedroom, piled high. What for? Is the first question I’d ask. Why would he even want them? Especially as he knows its against the law. Even for the (then) president. Then comes the whole ‘the election was rigged!!!!’ protest, when he refused to give up the White House. Like a spoilt child who won’t leave the top of the castle after a defeat in a game of soldiers. Yet this is the biggest of all Trump’s current problems because he accused the American election system of cheating/lying/incompetence. He still has the problem about starting the Capitol riot, or at least, failing to stop the Capitol riot, but it doesn’t matter.

Over 25% of Americans would still vote for him if he was in jail. The year is 2023, we’re post-Harvey Weinstein, post #metoo and yet half of all republicans would select someone who condones and even proposes sexual assault. And I’d love to think that those 50 of Americans must therefore be the men, but its just not true.

I also get that voting for a political party is the definition of ‘partisan’, but some things are surely more important than long-term loyalty to a vague, political system. And all these ‘Christians’, invoking ‘the will of the Lord’ at every opportunity can sit comfortably with a man who advocates “just grab ’em by the pussy” as a method of introduction. These poor souls are ok to believe that the Democrats are using these events to try to dethrone America’s King of the Right. Because the events are all real and true. The Democrats are supposed to illustrate what a vile piece of shit Mr Ex-Prez is. But some people are just beyond learning. And we call those people: Americans.

God Help America.
