Phyllis Schlafly Says Donald Trump is 'Last Hope for America'

WND asked Schlafly if she believes Donald Trump is the last hope for America.



“He does look like he’s the last hope [for America],” Schlafly said. “We don’t hear anybody saying what he’s saying. In fact, most of the people who ought to be lining up with him are attacking him. They’re probably jealous of the amount of press coverage he gets. But the reason he gets so much press coverage is the grassroots are fed up with people who are running things, and they do want a change. They do want people to stand up for America. It really resonates when he says he wants to ‘Make America Great Again.’”

Schlafly said it’s not only Republicans who feel betrayed, but Democrats, too.

“They are betrayed,” she said. “There’s no doubt about it. The working man and woman have been betrayed by both parties. They’re ready for a change … anything they think would be better.”

It's all clear now, she is actually holding a grudge against God while claiming to love his children and at the same time saying he made them all wrong.

Trump is the last something for America. I wouldn't necessarily say "hope" if America's voters are THIS stupid.

Fuck Phyllis Schlafly and her idiot son.

4. Well, for her version of America, it is to be devoutly wished that he is the last

chance to bring back the Ugly America in full flower...

but even today, it's not even half-dead yet.

That sounds like Monty Python, but it wasn't meant to be humorous...

7. She's long been dead and only lives on within Conservapedia, hosted by her son.

Her embalmed body occasionally is posed for photographs. Of course, Mr. Joyboy does her hair.

Cultural reference: The Loved One Rod Steiger (Joyboy), Jonathan Winters (the holy reverend), Robert Morse (the deceased's relative).

A wonderful satire.


On edit: Mr. Joyboy.

And yes, Mr. Joyboy's mother!!! Undoubtedly, Phyllis Schlafly, only embalmed.

12. Obviously ludicrous, but may serve as an object lesson

I'd prefer Sanders get the nomination for example, and yet I cringe at absurd hyperbole that any chance of a functional democracy is gone if he is not elected. Something that was not true during the Civil War, WW2, the Civil Rights era, even the revolution itself.

Laugh and ridicule Schlafly's opinion. It deserves it. But for those of you that have an exactly analogous opinion about left leaning populism that she does about right-leaning populism you may profit from seriously considering why your opinion is not equally invalid.

It'll work but has very unpleasant side effects.

they think would be better."

They have said that about other RW populists throughout history, Phyllis. The story does not end well.

Hire some writers, work on your timing, and for crissakes, change your expression once in a while.
