[October Update: Remember how the media lied about Bernie? Hillary's minions have been twisting all our perceptions: Video of "Violent Bernie Bros"?]
(Forgive my superficiality: it's just a hormonal reflex, like my attraction to thickets of facial hair and to shirtless, sweaty construction workers.)
But hip girth isn't why I find Donald Trump repulsive.
Nonetheless, I may vote for tRump.
If our national hero Bernie Sanders is side-lined, electing Trump may be the only way to prevent entrenched corruption in our government from becoming completely intractable. We all know Clinton's propensity to break the law. On scrutiny, the devil we know is looking as neo-fascist as the insurgent devil.
Clinton's goons silence dissent; the real difference from Trump is that we liberal Bernie supporters aren't armed to defend ourselves from them.
Election fraud by the Democratic Party may not be worse than the GOP's. But it certainly isn't better. Hillary Clinton has adopted Machiavellian campaign tactics; evidently pilfered Bernie's database; hired a mercenary army of trolls to shut down democratic discourse; flaunted election violations in multiple states; and now her numbers look suspicious as hell. (See #ExitPollGate on Twitter.) At least Trump didn't rig voting machines.

Clinton slush fund is NOT a charity |
Bernie's greatest appeal -- one reason he gets crowds of 10,000s where Clinton's lucky to get 200 -- is his insistence that we can revive real democracy. Rigged elections destroy the inclination for citizens to vote and -- unless they themselves are corrupt -- repels them from participating in our government.
However upbeat, idealistic and pure we'd prefer to remain, we need to take election fraud into account. That's why I'm trolling around with my petition and steeling myself to vote for Trump in November.
I'm not the only dedicated but anxious Bernie supporter who's starting to think this way:
Even Hillary Supporters Should Want Her Defeated: President tRump would cause liberal candidates to sweep the 2018 midterm elections.
Trump would keep us agitated and active instead of defeated. Apathetic cynicism is anathema to civilization. Hillary's "fog of lies and payola discourage civic action," I say in my petition: "Big media's collusion with President Clinton#2 would perpetuate the illusion of democracy that numbs voters into passivity." We wouldn't have that problem with populist Trump and his outrageous behavior that mainstream television won't stop displaying. He'll keep us protesting.
Furthermore, checks and balances can rein in someone like him but not the juggernaut "Clinton Machine" and the bag of ruthless tricks on which Hillary Clinton relies. And he opposes toxic trade deals like the TPP.
The 1% owns our government now. Maybe our "political revolution" can ally with genuine Trump supporters -- those belligerent yokels -- to wrest back voting rights for the 99%. They too notice rigged media and election fraud. Trump's chanting hordes frighten me. But where America's left and right are "the spineless versus the shameless," Trump voters are brawn we might enlist for the ultimate good of the whole country and (in the light of Climate Change, wars, et cetera) the whole world.

I'm a lifelong Democrat but as soon as the Primary's over I'll join the exodus of disgusted Bernie supporters. Schooled by Karl Rove and David Brock, the Democratic Party has grown as depraved as the Republican frat house. Clinton has slandered Bernie repeatedly including lying that he opposes Planned Parenthood (he has a 100 percent rating from them) and lying that he opposes gun control (he has a "D-" rating from the NRA.) Proven by the hacker Guccifer 2.0, the DNC's sabotaging Bernie Sanders is a direct attack on American democracy and, as such, amounts to treason. We must do everything possible to derail their toxic gravy train... including voting for the (racist, sexist, bizarre) Trump. Bite this bullet: think of the fun that comedians will have.
It's wretched that Hillary Clinton stinks even worse. |
"I can stomach a bad election that gives us a bombastic billionaire buffoon as president" but not a lying criminal who knows better.
Don't write-in Bernie: vote AGAINST Clinton |
Let's hope for a legitimate presidential election in 2020.
Of course I'd love a woman president. Or a guy... with snake hips.
I'm a fake Trump supporter... | .......trolling to demoralize the Clinton Machine! |

Great stuff. Now my wheels are a turnin'.

DeleteI'm sorry, but this makes no sense. We are fighting to make life better for the working class and poor, to save the planet from fracking and nukes. A vote for Trump does nothing to further that agenda. How about riding the Bernie train all the way to the convention and making our voices heard there loud and clear? If they don't listen, vote for Dr. Jill Stein or write in Bernie. Don't make it seem like more people support Trump's insane xenophobia and ego than already do.
ReplyDeleteA threat is not the deed.
Deletethis is exactly what i've been saying ...
ReplyDeleteglad i'm not actually alone and there are other long term thinkers in the world.
I'm with Charlie on this one.
ReplyDeleteYou have your own opinion backing your action of switching for Trump, which I respect, for many people just move along with the strongest current instead of reaching down to the root of the causes of concern.
The way things go, numbers are important. Your approach would succeed if enough people take it and stick to it, which is what you're eloquently doing in this blog post, but I can't hold the "recruitment" vibe dear at all.
I will stay a fighter til the end, for before I took a side I focused on what was most personally loyal to my values and what I want for everyone I know. I'll stick to Bernie's side, but you go girl.
May we go forth aware that decisions everyday pave the ground we'll have to step on and walk it with what we know is best and true.
Let's end corruption any way we can.
Deletemy one problem is that all it would take is for Trump to concede and all those votes would be worthless. He has contributed to Hillary and Bill in the pass. Can we trust him not to do that?
DeleteNo of course we can't trust tRump. At this moment he's just leverage for us against DNC/Hillary's corruption. Judging by his egomania, though, I do doubt he'd concede.
DeleteHmmmm. But are you a PAID troll for Trump? I doubt it, but the effect is the same, right?
ReplyDeleteI suspect only Clinton is conniving enough to pay trolls.
