    These aren’t distractions.

    For one thing, he’s not that clever. There’s no plan to distract you. You’re giving him far too much credit.

    For another, he really is this this big an idiot. He’s blundering through the government like a big fat toddler, just breaking shit at random. Stop making it sound like he’s a mastermind. What he’s doing is more dangerous than a plan, because nobody has defenses against this.

      If he’s stupid what the fuck does that make the rest of us for allowing this? We voted in the guy that was supposed to prosecute and put him in jail… and they did everything but actually punish him!

      Then that asshole wore a Trump hat right before the election.

      So if he’s stupid, so are we. And worse, because we let him.

        Others in this administration are not stupid. Trump is not the one masterminding plans. He does whatever the last or loudest person in his ear tells him to do.

        Also, it’s very important not to underestimate the power of stupidity and incompetence to fuck society.

        Seriously, read this short article and tell me you can’t easily supplant trump’s name everywhere and it’s not uncanny:

        Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show.

        Plenty of first-person sources in the book.

        Even if trump dropped dead today, this fascist movement wouldn’t stop. He’s a carnival barker and a genuine moron, chosen because he’s a social wrecking ball. But don’t mistake his blundering for 3d chess.
