Political Revulsion and Trump

political revulsion

A great political revulsion is underway. The mystery of Trump and his popularity confounds only those who believe the current political class is not exploiting and screwing up everything they touch. The shallow-minded media come to mind. The rest of us understand the revulsion.

trumpalabamaThe risk of electing a Trump is great, but continuing with the current Mafia has a certain end. The choice is one between rusting out with certainty (i.e., over a longer period of time) versus a chance of solving the rust problem but with the risk of burning out immediately. In short, it is akin to the decision of allowing King George to slowly milk the life out of the country or risking war against the then most powerful country in the world. Back then many wanted to choose the rusting process rather than risk the fires of war. After all, how bad could things get in the short span of a lifetime?

Fortunately, the nation back then was not filled with political correctness and cowardice. A minority prevailed and the freedom and liberty that changed the world was the result. A similar decision point, on a less grandiose scale, seems to be driving today’s political machinations.

Let me be clear that I am not a Trump fan. Nor do I think he is the answer to what troubles the country. I abhor most politics and virtually all politicians.

Nor do I mean to glorify Trump by comparing him to the brave founders of this country. That comparison is appropriate only in the sense that the trend back then was unsustainable as it is today. America then faced a certain ending as it does today. The current exploiters, not unlike King George, have no reason to change direction regardless of which party they claim to represent.

To support Trump is not noble so much as it is the recognition that neither Republicans nor Democrats will change anything. It is less support than a vote against the political establishment. Politicians have become too comfortably entrenched in their personal troughs, although not without the continuing need to embellish even more these royal troughs. Trump is the recognition of that fact.

The best explanation for the Trump phenomenon (aka The Great Political Revulsion) was received via email. The original author is unknown (at least to me), but the explanation of the current political condition is spot on:

raccoonYou’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately so you hire a guy. A pro. You don’t care if the guy smells, you need those raccoons gone pronto and he’s the guy to do it! You don’t care if the guy swears, you don’t care if he’s an alcoholic, you don’t care how many times he’s been married, you don’t care if he voted for Obama, you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack…you simply want those raccoons gone!  You want your problem fixed!  He’s the guy. He’s the best. Period.

That’s why Trump. Yes he’s a bit of an ass, yes he’s an egomaniac, but you don’t care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, illegal’s are everywhere. You want it all fixed! You don’t care that Trump is crude, you don’t care that he insults people, you don’t care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don’t care that he has changed positions, you don’t care that he’s been married 3 times, you don’t care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, you don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslin terrorist,…this country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal’s, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED” and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.  You’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegal’s. You just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him, all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he’s also not a politician,  he’s not a cowardly politician. And he says he’ll fix it.

You don’t care if the guy has bad hair. 

You just want those raccoons gone. 

Out of your house. 

NOW!!!!

I’m really looking forward to him opening a can of whupass on Hillary when they get to the throwdown portion of the upcoming election cycle. It will definitely be entertaining.

Thanks Admin,

Trump may change nothing, but I don’t think so, I bet he changes everything! Why would I say that? The mans spent his life winning and his brand is his name “TRUMP” no way in hell he wants to destroy what he’s spent a lifetime building. I heard him say in an interview he’s going to put the smartest business people in this country to work in his Administration, if that group can’t unwind this mess it can’t be down. I’m very thankful for Obama’s use of Executive Orders because Trumps going to need that tool, I’m sure! Unlike other Presidents holding their fire until a second term, Trump will come out hard and fast and shake the system to its very foundations. I’m convinced Trump is going to win

Sensetti, I believe you are right. Nate silver has a piece in the NY times today with all sorts of alarmed and farfetched theories as to why trump is polling so well with the rubes. Listen up, pajama boy, revenge of the nerds is over. We will be a nation ruled by smart, mean, practical and patriotic men in short order. Sociopathic liberalism got buried by reagan, about to happen with trump. Nice knowing you, pajama boy, now sit down and shut up

OMG, I remember the ” pajama boy” and he was nauseating

to me. I hope that Trump could win and clean house.

I don’t know though…we’ve heard that story before and it

quickly became opposite-ville. Scary.

Has anyone noticed how many retired “professionals”

are coming out and whistle blowing? Maybe Trump is acting as

a role model? Nothing is as refreshing as the truth.

We may have a 50-50% chance.

That’s a great video, admin. Very well done and it connects on many levels. Trump is tapping into a lot of things and doing it very, very well. The guy is proving to have a pretty high likability factor. At his rally in SC last night, I saw as many blacks sitting behind him as whites. Hillary, Bernie and Debbie WhatamanSchultz have to be dazed and confused. The Trump phenomenon is gonna be one for the record books in so many ways.

Sensetti, I agree with your comment wholeheartedly, especially with the smartest men and women to handle our affairs. Unlike the present asshole who assigned tasks based only on sewer-level political allegiance. Hillary and Bernie both would follow Ovomit’s exact template in that regard.

Anyone remember Clinton firing all the attorneys general when he first took office? I’d LOVE to see Trump use every mechanism at the President’s disposal to root out some of the Lois Lerners in gov’t.

At least he will make it fun. And he is not one of them.

He’s gaining enough popularity that his post assassination funeral may be as big a JFK’s!

Before getting all googly-eyed over Tramp, er ah Trump, please be advised he thinks Snowden is a traitor and deserves to hang. Whistle blowers beware!

You’re goddamn right I’m going to hang that little traitor. DEAD. DEAD. DEAD.

Nice dopple, Stucky. (The triple “DEAD” and all caps gave you away.)

Greetings,

Every now and again, I like to give a shout out from the anarchist bench where I observe this senseless spectacle. From where I’m sitting, it would appear that the problem is not the players but the game. Seems like you can change out players as much as you want but the end result is always the same.

The current system is unsustainable or so I believe. I also believe that it can no longer justify its existence and that it is actually hindering our evolution as a species.

Perhaps it is time for a constitutional convention instead of another presidential election.

Nickel dude please don’t go there..A Constitutional Convention could end up making us less free..Let us first try returning to the Constitution..And The Republic for which it Stands…Mike In Ct

I did not dopple. Except for a brief period in the morning, I was off the computer ALL day.

Nevertheless, it appears TBP now stands for Trump’s Burning Parade. Even Admin fell over to the dark side?? Say, it ain’t so, Joe!!!

You people hate the 535 Little Satans so damned much (rightfully so) that you just don’t give a shit, and are willing to elect Daddy Satan himself, The Donald.

IF he gets elected, you will regret it. Mark it down.

Trump is the only thing different to appear in the politcal arena in some time now.

For the last 25 or so years everything -everyone- else is just different shades and degrees of the same thing.

Kind like the difference between different colors of a Chevrolet car, they may look different on the surface but when compared to, say, a Ford you realize they are not.
