It has come to this. In the historical blink of an eye, the
United States government will be run by a pack of delusional, reactionary
sycophants who will gladly grovel before a modern-day coke-snorting Caligula,
who himself lusts after a pouting barbaric strongman. Imagining they will ride
grizzlies shirtless together over endless fields of supine serfs, Trump dreams
of Putin, armies of Orcs and an all-seeing eye finding and destroying his pathetic,
weak enemies.
America is now in the clutches of a soulless narcissist with
daddy issues, a Dickensian monster who would gladly provide gruel for school
lunches and send children to work in coal mines if it enhanced profits. Trump
is the ultimate capitalist writ large, an amoral huckster always searching for
the deal, whether he’s working the C-suite office or the Oval Office. Capitalism
has no soul, no morals, no impetus to do good. The bottom line is all that
counts, and that is the genetic soup out of which Donald Trump slithered.
Centuries of historical whitewashing, nationalistic
cheer leading and media propaganda have led us to this moment in history. Trump
is the monster that western capitalism created. He is the ultimate icon of the
greed, racism and classism that this country was built on, which no one is
willing to acknowledge. Trump is America, the all too real face of genocide,
racism, nationalism and Christian extremism. Trump is the last great white hope
and he will fail. The only question is how much damage he will cause before he
meets his destiny.
