Yes. I want to post google images of Trump as an hitlerian dictator in kingly robes. But I'm a Democrat.

If we're so smart, we need to pay attention. Not to Trump, but to the next four years of every. fucking. body. else. That's what democracy is. That's what a Democrat fucking does.

'Trump,” he wrote, “alone among candidates for high office in this or in the last seven (at least) cycles, has stood up to say: I want to live. I want my party to live. I want my country to live.

By holding the line on unauthorized immigration and rethinking free trade, Decius argued, Trump could help foster “solidarity among the working, lower-middle, and middle classes of all races and ethnicities.”

Electing Trump was a way to take a stand against both ambitious liberalism and insufficiently ambitious conservatism.
