America Shat Its Pants & Is Revelling In It

When America elected Donald Trump as president in 2016 it was, I think, akin to the country shitting its pants. The chaos that resulted from the Trump presidency was embarrassing for the world’s superpower. Trump was a loose cannon with diarrhoea putting institutions and people at risk minute by minute. No one could work with him and the sackings were matched by the quitting of staff and appointees. The dysfunction was everywhere to be seen and things stank to high heaven. 8 years later and it is like America shat its pants and is revelling in it now or the idea of returning to that parlous state anyway. The standards of decency have come down so far among the half of the country supporting a Trump 2.0 they must be enjoying the feel of the filth in their underdaks.
MAGA Folk Shitting Themselves & Loving It
How else can you rationally explain the attitude of this hemi demi semi of the nation. They are right proud to boast about their white supremacy. The MAGA faithful are chuffed to be deriding women and Puerto Ricans in equal measure. The squalor of these deranged folk is a celebration of what it means to be 21C white Americans, it seems. They whinge and whine about their political opponents, demonizing them in fanciful tirades with no basis in reality. The truth is so far removed from these folk it could be located on another planet entirely. The circus is in town when Trump comes to an arena near them. Planet Trump appears to be a shitty place where all their ills are a result of someone else’s infamy.
American Democratic Values In The Toilet
America is relaxing into its sordid defecation, which soiled its pants. Greed and inequality, yeah, bring it on. Segregation, you better believe it baby! Graft and corruption, oh the sweet smell of success. Donald J Trump built his career on money laundering from the Russian mob. The bogus billionaire wants to stuff his bank accounts with much more ill gotten loot. He wants to enhance the wealth of the super-rich via deregulation and lowering taxes. The poorly educated among his MAGA followers are too dumb to realise the shell game going on at their expense. Americans are internationally recognised as some of the most stupid people on the planet. How else could you vote for this guy??? Christian Nationalists are backing a celebrated sinner, as their guy in the White House. Yeah, the foul smell is sometimes overpowering but he’s our guy.
GOP Wearing The Brown Pants
America shat its pants and is revelling in it now. A new low has been plumbed by the GOP in their identity politics. Political violence is encouraged, especially toward designated targets like LGBTQI folk. Blacks and Latinos remain second class Americans in the Trump universe. Women are receptacles for Mister Palmer’s big thing – snigger, snigger. Child bearing is the property of the state, according to Republicans. The shit won’t hit the fan cause these MAGA folk have gotten comfy in their crapped pants. Gotten used to the smell and the disgusting state of themselves. This is the kind of America they want to live in.
Trump Economics Stink
Trump’s economic plan is to put massive amounts of tariffs on everything, which will impose price rises and thus inflation will go way up. At the same time he is talking about putting Elon Musk in charge of slashing $2 trillion from government expenditure. This is the guy who has just lost billions in his purchase and destruction of Twitter. X is a shell of what Twitter once was prior to the Musk purchase. Americans voting for trump, ordinary Americans who are not in on the ground floor, will be paying thousands of dollars more for everything they consume. Are these people so f****** stupid? Are they so out of touch with economic reality that they cannot see what is right before their eyes?
