If that’s what you expect, you’re underestimating the depth of the societal problems that Trump is a symptom of. Trump bubble may or may not collapse, but the US has a lot of demons to deal with.
Weirdly apropos quote with a fairly frightening resonance to today:
“Well… maybe so. This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it—that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable. The tragedy of all this is that George McGovern, for all his mistakes and all his imprecise talk about “new politics” and “honesty in government,” is one of the few men who’ve run for President of the United States in this century who really understands what a fantastic monument to all the best instincts of the human race this country might have been, if we could have kept it out of the hands of greedy little hustlers like Richard Nixon. McGovern made some stupid mistakes, but in context they seem almost frivolous compared to the things Richard Nixon does every day of his life, on purpose, as a matter of policy and a perfect expression of everything he stands for. Jesus! Where will it end?”
I hope the Trump bubble collaspes before the election and causes such a spectacular shitshow that the republican party ceases to exist.
