Trump: Rise of the Uber-Buffoon

The look of dismay on the faces of the lamestream political establishment is priceless. 

They turned politics into a winner-take-all gong show and now it's coming full circle to bite them in the ass. A total fucking circus every four years, starting two years after the previous one. 

Trump is the inevitable outcome of the decades-long trend towards ever-louder and ever-more aggressive buffoons who speak with absolute certainty about everything, but who conveniently keep half of the facts off the table. He is Bill O'Reilly on steroids. It's a formula - speak louder than everyone else, speak more forcefully, and stick to the talking points. Railroad anyone who gets in your way. Zero nuance.

The Republican NeoCon pupper masters created this frankenmonster.

Some actually think that Trump was planted by the Democrats. Sure. Only registered Republicans can vote in the Primaries, no Democrats. So by that logic, Democrats are the ones who convinced the most rabid grassroots Republicans to vote for the biggest uber-buffoon on the stage.

Sorry, but the reality is that the Republicans created that rabid dog. They fed it red meat for years and years, dumbing it down until it voted against its own interest. Now, along comes Trump and he commands the attention of their Nascar set. The vaunted Republican base. 

Live by the uber-buffoon. Die by the uber-buffoon.
