I am TREMENDOUSLY INNOCENT!

The Orange Man
Leader of Deplorables
Demagogue of Temper Tantrums
We in America, land of the free, home of the brave, are winding down to the end of a really unprecedented, disgustingly ugly election campaign between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Last year my international readers asked me about Donald Trump and if he was for real. My response was he is using his money and celebrity to follow his dreams. There is nothing wrong with that. It's the American way. Or maybe he's really a Democrat and his goal was to destroy the Republicans? Anyway, it sounded like a bad joke and few seemed to take him seriously. However, I was absolutely convinced he'd never get to past the primaries. Americans aren't THAT stupid! Are they?

Now, I know a majority of Americans are stupid. Case in point, most refuse to stop using their toxic, poisonous products that put the rest of us at risk. They smoke, drink, eat junk food, lay around watching reality television and wonder why the health care system is failing. They shop for cheap Chinese-made products from Walmart instead of supporting our country and purposely suck the life out of the welfare system instead of getting a job and paying taxes like real Americans do. Or worse, they have a job and refuse to pay taxes.

Unfortunately, when it comes to the incredibly ignorant, I assumed they would be too stupid to get off their couches, read and educate themselves on the issues, then take the time to go to the trouble to vote for an arrogant, sexist, racist, power-crazed, morally-depraved sociopath with no political experience. Well, I was wrong. They don't have to move off the couch, or make any effort at all, or read, or understand anything. They really don't even have to care about the issues.  They just had to lay around watching their televisions, drool over their reality show celebrity and listen to his negative rhetoric because his anger and aggression is what they understand. He calls to them. When Hillary Clinton said half of Trump's followers were deplorables, she was wrong. They are ALL deplorables. The deplorables are so low class and stupid they see this as a compliment. She tried to cover her faux-pas by blaming this on Trump. Again, I disagree. These people are the bottom of the barrel. Trump didn't make them disgusting, stupid, entitled and angry, he just gave them a voice.

So Donald Trump is the Republican candidate and we have been forced through these last months to listen to his disrespectful rants, undemocratic threats, and bullish insults. He has no clue about the issues and can't even articulate his ideas well as he infuses them with temper tantrums to camouflage his confusion and frustration. His understanding of the democratic process is comical. He believes his money and notoriety is enough to catapult him into a position of ultimate power. He feels entitled like his rabble. His uneducated, white-trash followers think he's going to do what he says and keep his promises. HA! Many Republicans won't support him and the Religious Right has backed away from him. He is the fault of a Republican Party that is so screwed up it can't even nominate a proper candidate. Experience should be the minimum requirement. Who hires someone for a job with no experience?

We are seeing a lot of rebuttal as the Clinton campaign is pulling out the big guns...Barack and Michelle Obama. Michelle's speeches are mesmerizing. She's my new idol. She brings tears to my eyes. If she ever runs for president, I'd vote for her! I doubt if she has ever sexually assaulted anyone.


Just a week before the election, a super-PAC organization began a campaign against Trump called Not Who We Are. You can read about that HERE. Lots of rich, silicon-valley entrepreneurs banning together to try to make a difference at the last minute. They have produced a test called Is Trump Your Fault?  He's definitely someones fault. However, according to my test score

I AM TREMENDOUSLY INNOCENT!

I'm not surprised, but it was fun taking the test anyway. I want a t-shirt with these words on it. However, even though I am innocent I am also tremendously embarrassed at the stupidity of my countrymen and women as the international world watches. The Orange Man is determined to Make America a Laughingstock.

In many ways it is amazing someone with absolutely no political experience (and no morals) could actually get this far when so many viable politicians couldn't, but it's also frightening a sex offender could be our next president. How did that happen, you ask? We didn't take him seriously. We didn't understand the power of the low class rabble. This is how Hitler got elected. This is history repeating itself. Same negative, hateful rhetoric appealing to star-struck brainless voters who felt neglected and abused by the system, and a candidate who wants to disenfranchise minorities to give power to his misguided fans. It's definitely been a nauseating, oops!, I mean, interesting campaign experience.

I am lucky in my area we get our ballots through the mail. I can't imagine having to wait in line with a bunch of smelly people for up to four hours just to vote. Do any of you have to wait in long lines? How do you cope? What do you do to survive the onslaught of toxic exposure?

Support the democratic process and vote!

Unless you are voting for the sex offender...then veg out on your couch watching Celebrity Apprentice reruns, eat your Cheese-puffs, and forget to head to the polls. They are crowded anyway.

  1. All you said was true (I am innocent too!). But there is a deeper complicity for us in a system which Hillary supports as well. The neoliberal market society marginalizes the vast proportion of Americans (as well as the world). Half the households in the US make less than $37,000/year (and that's half). So many are in poverty with no foreseeable way to rise above it. Working class people who work hard and still have no security or safety. It's not just the stupid who are lashing out. That slogan that was popular under BushW, if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention, is still applicable. The taxation and business rules are all geared towards concentrating wealth even more. The neocons plan for a "flexible workforce" has come about. The enthusiastic showing in the primaries for both Trump and Sanders was evidence of angry people who demand something different. If your particular fears have been fed by FOX news, you might think Trump could help. You might decide to vote for anyone who isn't in the political establishment. Hillary will show some improvement in race relations, women's rights, health care, Supreme court nominations, and other domestic issues. Her foreign policy is perpetual war and with her wall street connections, the flow of wealth to the top will probably not halt much. But at least she's not Trump, whose foreign policy could be instantly disastrous. Yes, we're innocent. But we have our work cut out for us no matter who wins.

    1. Well, this will sound negative, but other than voting, supporting, and writing my opinion all over the place, I don't see how I have much control over anything and therefore, it's not my work. I can't control who the candidates are and I alone can't control who gets elected. I can't even control my own income nor have any say whether or not I pay for insurance. Few choices for the common citizen.
