Great piece, Thom.

America doesn't run on Dunkin' (Donuts). It runs on hatred. It's Race Crazy.

Trump tapped into that known, if suppressed, motherlode of White Hate. As did everyone's favorite foreigner, the Wizard of Oz: Ruppie M. — Whatta CRUEL, VICIOUS, SICK Grifter!!!

Hate is such an addictive distraction, so binding an adhesive for the majority race, it's like normal neurosis. (Why were Southern, antebellum elites so wonderful, so genteel and so gracious? They left all of their hatred and godawful negativity, at the whipping post. They pretty much ran out of steam, i.e., steam to fuel antisocial, nasty, uncouth, or ill-bred behavior.)

But, irrational hatred's also 100% specious — I hate, therefore I am. And, as character traits go, race hate's way over on the "Nuts" side of the spectrum.

A kind Racial Tourette's.

Think: Michael "Kramer" Richards at the Comedy Store in LA, 20 years ago. Or DJT anytime.
