Trump's contempt for the "unsuccessful"

[opinionator]

There are many things that are hard to explain about the rise of Donald Trump and the near religious devotion of his followers but I’d like to address one in particular. I just find it so ironic that all of these working class people are throwing their lot in with someone so far removed from their way of life. But if that weren’t enough, Trump has shown a disdain and contempt for those who aren’t rich and successful, at least successful as he defines it. He’s just as much a part of the very elite that he claims he’ll unseat.

Don’t you get it? He’s looking down his nose at all of you who follow him. Everything in his history suggests this to be true. But he says he’s on your side and you all just take it as gospel. Speaking of gospel, he makes a mockery of Christianity by professing to be a “strong Christian” and promising to defend the faith that he obviously doesn’t have. His life is one long trail of greed, lust and excess, driven by a massive ego. He is very far from a Christian. But he says it, and his followers believe. I’m sure he gets a good laugh out of that.
Trump is in this for himself. He wants the power. He wants the prestige. He wants the legacy. Does he want to do great things? I’m sure he does. How else could he feed his massive ego? But to think that this mocker is really on the side of the regular working man is beyond absurd. The opposite is true. He’s laughing at all of his little worshippers. He always has and he always will.

Come to your senses and vote for Gary Johnson. He’s the only common sense candidate in the race. He’s the only one who will not threaten the freedoms we still enjoy.

There are many things that are hard to explain about Hillary Clinton's popularity and the near religious devotion of her followers. I find it so ironic that so many people, blacks and browns in particular, throw in their lot with someone so far removed from their way of life and culture. But if that were not enough, Hillary has shown a disdain and contempt for her followers. She is constantly telling ridiculous lies and breaking the law openly expecting them to look the other way. She is openly graspy and greedy, sucking money off of what is supposed to be a charitable foundation, taking what is clearly pay for play money and ignoring people who can't pay. She is openly contemptuous for the law enforcement people and secret service who are assigned to protect her and has treated underlings in a high handed and cruel manner. I'm sure she gets a laugh out of that.

Don’t you get it? She's looking down her nose at all of you who follow her. Everything in her history suggests this to be true. But she says she’s on your side and you all just take it as gospel. Speaking of gospel, Hillary appears to have no faith in God at all.

Hillary is in this for herself. She wants the power. She wants the prestige. She wants the legacy. Does she want to do great things? I’m sure she does. How else could she feed her massive ego? But to think that this mockery is really on the side of ordinary people without a lot of money to contribute is beyond absurd. The opposite is true. She’s laughing at all of her little worshippers. She always has and she always will.

They're both awful candidates, Lowdown. You have to see that.

This isn't about Hillary Clinton, no matter how desperately and pathologically you need it to be.

They are the best the country has to offer, and one if them will lead us through the future.

Of course.

 

[LowDown]

Pathologically? How silly.

It is indeed about Hillary and fits her to a T, no matter how desperately you wish it otherwise. You know it to be true.

The Democrats should have dropped her from contention for any office the first time she destroyed some woman to protect Bill, or when she destroyed all those people just to make room for her cronies in the Travel Office, or when she fired that White House staffer just for talking to Barbara Bush. But they are bereft of any sense of decency.

Trump surely has a lot of faults, but disdain and disrespect for ordinary people has never been one of them. One of the main things that feeds the white hot anger elites have for Trump is the fact that he acts and talks like an ordinary guy and has no deference for them.

If they are the best we have to offer, we are doomed.

Not really. You often seem compelled to try and derail threads about Trump by blathering about Clinton.

No, I know you're pathologciall obsessed with the woman in a way that's likely not healthy. You know that to be true.

You have a most active fantasy life.

Wow. And a very over-active imagination.

Are you talking about Trump? Or Clinton?

It works for both of them. That being said, what's the first word in the thread title?
