Trump’s elevator speech: “Blah, blah, blah ... When Mexico sends its people ... They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. ... blah, blah, blah.”

This fall, IF after thirty-thousand-plus additional racist, hateful, xenophobic lies (warp speed and accelerating), and utter chaos in government, half of American voters still find themselves “bigly” enthralled with, and vote yet again for, the bat-shit-crazy minions of this egotistical, arrogant, fat, orange gutter ball, who evidently represents today’s true conservative, ah, “values” (self-serving, Trumpified politicians whom dumb people think smart people should sound like), and IF they prevail, by hook or by crook (Nth-degree cheating by Republicans at every level is not just likely but assured), THEN the “American experiment” will have failed spectacularly, blowing up the entire lab and everyone in it!

The other half of weary, burned out small-d democrats in this husk of democracy will have wasted seven, irretrievable years of precious life on a dying planet trying to evict one of the world’s most malignant, scandal-ridden, and worthless freeloading assholes of all time, living rent free in everyone’s brains thanks to corporate media grooming. “If it bleeds, it leads.” Profits first; truth and ethics last.

Good God — ***S.E.V.E.N.*** long, miserable, dummied-down years of this stupid sonofabitch and his gooey clogs of horseshit stuck to everyone’s boots! IF the American idiotocracy can’t buck historical midterm trends and scrape off a petty, murderous thug and finally depose him for good, along with his entire, broken-Russian-like army of morally incompetent fools and fawners, THEN the once great American dream will have turned into a horrible, recurring nightmare that is no longer the “world’s greatest democracy”... or people.

The absolute worst-case political scenario threatens the near future in just seven (!), short, miserable, dummied-down months. (If most of the mainstream pundits and polls are correct.) At that critical juncture in history, Americans will have become pariahs on the world stage, likely for a generation at least, much like their hapless counterparts in Russia, a beaten people whose leaders lie to them with every breath, like Republicans do on this side of the mightily polluted Pacific.

The hopelessly gullible in Putin’s Orwellian dystopia are the lifelong-brainwashed middle-aged and elderly, with a few young, starry-eyed zealots and well-paid influencers added to pander and propagate on social media — cohorts of Ameeerkkka’s demented zombies and trolls right here in Mudville. According to Western “intelligence” (taken with a grain of salt), everyday Russians still support their murderous war criminal Dear Leader wholeheartedly. Some estimates are running as high as 80 percent of the overall population, which speaks to the power of big lies, big liars, and the big chumps who slurp it all up and ask for more.

Hello, Republican Party! Hello, small-d democrats! Hello, all-American voters! Wake the fck up! Stop entertaining Republican/Putin lies! It’s killing people! Tons of people! Rotting human flesh fertilizing the lifestyles of the rich and famous and the wicked and evil!

This is spot on. The most important issues facing the American people are climate change and income inequality, unless you are a member of a group focused on cultural issues. But all of these issues are moot if we can't root out corruption first, and defang the elections-industrial complex. The uber-riche control just about everything, and the only way to stop them is to neuter them. Starting with the most corrupt and working down from there.
