Anyone Trump-aligned or Trump-adjacent is toxic to the rest of the world. We are the only country with enough people that think the malignant narcissist, criminal, and moronic two-bit con man should be in charge. It’s the same reason why televangelists have always thrived here. https://t.co/XOl7SU1Vi5

Except Pat Robertson’s example in the ‘80’s taught the televangelists to stay in their lane and never attempt the leap to politics. Trump figured out how to grift the Presidency.  Of course, politicians have always promised a chicken in every pot. Grift is baked in. The difference is even party machine politics had to benefit the voters at some level, even as it took the cream for the leadership. 

Trump is not running a machine. There is no party to provide it. And he’s a toddler with a shotgun. Second time around, he’s proving it. Only question is: will he finally break the politicians’ spell? Will we finally decide politicians shouldn’t promise shit, they should actually be able to do shit? Certainly the myth that “a businessman can run government better” is going to be as dead as the Dodo. 🦤 

For awhile, anyway.

3 months ago, there was no possible way the conservatives were going to lose this election. They were so far ahead in the polls. Then Donald Trump started talking about Canada. pic.twitter.com/8vHSgmsgeF

As goes Canada, so goes the American midterms?

Probably. Same cause and effect is likely, anyway.
