Fool Me Twice

There are a number of reasons why you would have voted for Donald Trump in the 2015 election. Perhaps you voted along party lines and cast your vote for a political party that no longer deserves your loyalty. Perhaps you were too busy or too lazy to get the facts in the matter and was fooled by the blunt, bludgenoning rhetorics and the bald-faced lies. Perhaps you wanted to "stick it to the man" and "shake things up a little". Perhaps you are just stupid. I get it. A democracy runs the risk of being taken to the wrong place by unscrupulous candidates, and we are seeing it happen all over the world. I won't say I like it, but a democracy is the best we have come up with so far when it comes to systems of government, and the risk of sometimes having a bad candidate win comes with the package.

However, the madness, senility, malevolence, hatefulness, dishonesty, ignorance, incompetence, laziness, greed and general stupidity of Donald Trump are now prominently on display for everyone to see, and there is only one reason why anyone would vote for him again. If you vote for Trump to have a second term, you are evil. Plain and simple, there is absolutely no reason to vote for him other than being evil.

There is a way out of this shit-show, and it is to vote the turd out of the White House and replace him with someone, anyone, who is even remotely competent and intent on actually doing the job. If you fail to do the right thing this time, there are no excuses.

Wasting

At a time when the United States would be very much helped by having a competent president to lead the way through a global crisis, the Trump who is currently squatting in the White House is wasting his time with petty vindictive feuds on Twitter, wasting essential resources on unimportant distractions, wasting lives both by not taking appropriate action and by taking grossly inappropriate action, wasting whatever goodwill and reputation the US might still have on the international scene, wasting what little remains of his so-called presidency, and apparently wasting away as a person. If he ever had a brain, it's all gone now.

This is both pathetic and frightening at the same time.

No good people

Contrary to what Donald Trump likes to claim in every case where his side fucked up, and there are certainly a lot of those cases, the two sides are not equally credible, equally competent, equally good or equally worthy of respect. While there are countless good people lining up on the Democrats' side for the upcoming US election, and seemingly no bad people, the Republican camp is filled ro the brim with nincompoops, morons, incompetent nitwits with less than half a brain to share between them. They are also cynical, calculating and outright evil, lying with every breath and trying to spread fear and confusion in a time of desperation for the entire world.

The Trump cult is the opposite of good in every way. These are fundamentally not good people, they are not good at what they do, they are not doing any good, what they are doing is not good. There are two sides to this, but only one of them is the good side. It is extremely important that we make sure the good side wins. If we fail, the world is in for a dark age.
