Addicted, Life a Mess, Jobless, in Jail or Estranged From Your Kids?
The surefire way to fixing all: Blame Immigrants and support Trump.
Donald Trump is a panacea, a cureall. He makes the uneducated feel smart. The poor feel wealthy. The hopelessly addicted can find something in his words too — “If only those evil immigrants weren’t bringing up all of those drugs, I would be clean.” Trump makes criminals feel like they got a bum wrap — well, they all feel that way, but Trump makes it real for them: “Don’t worry. You didn’t mean to rape her. I know what you were going through.”
Donald Trump gives everyone a mulligan, as many as necessary. The most important thing in his world is never to admit guilt, never take responsibility for anything, and always blame someone else — especially if they are non-white and speak accented English — or better yet, no English at all. The average Trumpist is not a very smart person, and yet they think they are smart as hell. This is similar to how Trump imagines he is a genius, such as when he said he knew medicine and science because his uncle used to teach at MIT. Then Trump suggested injecting bleach into the veins to kill the coronavirus. After Trump said that, people heeded his advice and died. Trumpists didn’t blame him, and Trump never backed down from his ignorant words.
