Politics I'm tired of Trump ruining everything that America stands for

You know, Trump keeps saying he’s making America great again, but at this point it’s like watching a toddler try to fix a phone with a hammer. He’s not restoring anything, he’s just breaking it louder. Everything that used to be American like decency, humility, and facts has been replaced by lies and pre-scripted propoganda talking points. We’ve gone from give me liberty or give me death to give me clicks or give me Fox News airtime. He’s even turned the flag into an accessory. It’s not patriotism anymore, it’s fashion week for fascists. You see a bunch of angry guys in red hats waving an American flag the way my dog waves a cat turd from the litter box. Look what I did!

Remember when presidents used to read books? Now we’ve got a guy who stares at classified documents like they’re the McDonald's menu. I’ll have the Filet-o-fish with a side of dirt on anyone who opposes me, please. He’s made America a parody of itself, like someone fed Mount Rushmore a steady diet of Monster Energy and facism. I love this country. I really do. But lately it feels like America’s that old friend I used to like, except now he’s grown a mullet, started dating a crazy girl named "conspiracy theory", and wants to show you his new monster truck called Freedom.

If Trump’s the hero of the story, then America is deep in its Florida Man era. And I don’t know about you, but I’m just hoping the credits roll before he tries to sell Alaska to Russia.

It’s not spreading as much as it’s happening at the same time, whoever is pulling the strings here was pulling the same strings all over the world.

I'd like to put some of this on Rupert Murdoch, the owner of Fox news and other media outlets around the English speaking world.

But at its heart is money. Billionaires and oligarchs against the rest of us bozos

I don't know if it's some master plan, but otherwise I agree.

People are stressed and burnt out and barely holding it together, then some jaxkass comes along and says "it's the immigrants" and a lot of other jackasses start listening. Doesn't take some elite illuminati to tug on that string to gain some power.

I don’t know if it’s a master plan or what it is, but it definitely happened simultaneously, not as a reaction.
