    Actually… celebrity worship of this type is why America is in the hole it is in.

    Actually, it isn’t. Sure, Trump is from reality TV but without the four decades of neoliberal rot hollowing out the country people aren’t desperate enough to think this fool can fix everything alone.

    Trump’s popularity is a product of decades of austerity, lax antitrust enforcement, and reverse welfare.
