I very much hope that the Republican Party will nominate Donald Trump, and I almost hope that he will win the Presidency of the United States.
It might finally snap an awful lot of people out of the fantasy that that party cares about them in the slightest, or about anyone or anything apart from very big business indeed, in all its globalism and extreme social liberalism.
If they complained, then the list could be recited at them: Nixon (though a significant peacemaker and antimilitarist, and far more of a Civil Rights sympathiser than JFK ever was), Ford (though an America First Committee veteran who, unlike some, had kept the faith), Reagan, Bush the Elder, Dole, Bush the Younger, McCain.
Yes, that does say Reagan.
And yes, that does say Bush the Younger.
Is that the tradition in which a nominee needs to stand? If so, then, even if you are a regular churchgoer unlike those two, Donald Trump, you're hired.

I agree. I am also convinced that many hardcore Republican voters really don't understand what their beliefs would entail if they were ever enacted into policy.
ReplyDeleteThere are very few Americans left with a strong memory of what life was like before the New Deal made capitalism more bearable for regular people.
Many Americans take for granted all of the advancements that their ancestors fought for and have allowed many of those New Deal policies to either be destroyed or eroded, much to their own detriment and to the detriment of their children.
