But hey, I'm glad there's at least one democrat that gets your Trump humpin' heart to go pitter patter. You should listen to him about other things as well-
"It's pervasive. The "other" still works. I was reading this new book, a Hitler biography [ Hitler: Ascent, 1889-1939], by Volker Ullrich. Boy it's good. But [Hitler's] opening speeches when he was playing clubs—he'd play the clubs, then bigger rooms, then outdoors—when he started, he was playing to 40, 50 people and they said in his speeches he would attack the Jews right off. He said, "I'm going to clean out the pig sty," and he kept saying that things were worse than they were. In 1923, it was hard to do, but whenever he got out of jail and stuff, he was still doing the same thing. And those tenets to attack the other, blame everything on them— immigrants in Trump's case—it's the same pattern. I just wonder if Bannon as a school boy theorized that it could be effective."
"It seems as though much of Trump's impetus is rolling back Obama's legacy, and I don't understand why he has such an obsession with it. Because everything he does, it's like it's designed to really piss off liberals in New York City. Cutting the money for teenage sex education and Planned Parenthood and stuff, it's entirely reactive, I think. It's generated by his hate for the people who maybe didn't accept him. Or he just hates. I heard him say he hated documentaries. Well, that's because... there it is! They're, reportedly at least, the truth."
"To my younger self the idea of Donald Trump being president would be shocking. I have been railing against people like him forever. A song like Rednecks, it sort of works now, mentioning all those ghettoes, but it isn’t as true that the north assumes an attitude of moral superiority. Everyone knows that it is bad everywhere. Things are a little better, I think, than they were. But not by much. We are taking backwards steps. No funding for public television? Such an odd sort of thing to do. And they will go backwards on civil rights. That is terrible. We thought we’d won those battles." |
