Trump Is The Pig Without Lipstick

I will leave it to you to determine how much sarcasm went into the writing of this. 

I didn’t vote for Hillary Clinton. I didn’t vote for Trump either, but I wasn’t afraid of having Trump as president. Democrats have for years been telling me that a vote for a third party is a vote given to the Republican candidate, but I don’t listen. To me, the difference between a Republican and a Democrat is the difference between a pig and a pig with makeup. Sometimes the pig with makeup is actually worse, especially if you’re lonely and had too much to drink. Democratic voters have definitely been lonely for a long time, and they’ve been on a three year Russiagate bender. Not a good combination.

I’m against pigs with makeup for numerous reasons. There is just something inherently wrong with the idea. Let a pig be a pig, let the truth be the truth. People need to get real. They’ve been living in a manipulated reality for too long, living in a world where advertising (i.e. corporate propaganda) has become so ubiquitous we no longer question it, no longer notice its impact on our lives. It messes with our ability to think clearly, warps our brains and plays upon our worst emotional impulses.

It’s time to get back to basics. I want people to see that our country is being ruled by pigs. I want to scrub the makeup off and let the world know The United States Of America is ruled by pig ethics.

Which is why I don’t mind having Donald Trump as a president compared to any Democrat that has a chance of getting the support of the DNC. I don’t want anyone in this country or elsewhere in the world getting the image of our white, male ideologies being pushed by a woman of color or a homosexual. I’m sick of seeing Trump in drag or in black face. It's gross. Let the pig be a pig.

I hope my Trump supporting friends understand where I am going with this. I look upon Trump as the most certain leader to once and for all bring an end to corporate capitalism, to bring down all the systems and ideals you all hold most dear. I see Trump as the decisive nail in the coffin of the notions of white privilege, military might, and social Darwinism. I want Donald Trump to serve as the poster boy for capitalism, and in so doing usher in an age of socialism.

I want to destroy the evangelical movement and replace it with genuine Christian behavior, and I see their support of Donald Trump as the means to show the rest of the world what a morally and intellectually bankrupt belief system fundamentalism has become. Maybe Trump is not the Antichrist, but they are most certainly Anti-Christians.

I don’t mind if Trump is elected for another four years, because I want to destroy forever the idea that socialism is the greater evil than capitalism. I want capitalism to have free reign for a few years without any excuse to blame socialism for society’s ills.

My message then to Trump supporters is this: I’m quite certain that he is the person most likely to tear down all the illusions you hold most dear. I am firmly convinced his presidency will bring about a fundamental change not only in how the world views us but in how we view ourselves. I have no doubt Trump will not Make America Great Again but instead will destroy once and for all those things you believe made America great in the first place. 

This is the world I envision will rise from the ruinous reign of Trump (if climate change or nuclear war does not obliterate our planet entirely, distinct possibilities regardless of who our next president will be). I see a South where statues of Civil War heroes are torn down and replaced with Statures of Martin Luther King and Fred Hampton. I see a country where Hinduism and Islam is taught equally with Christianity and atheism. I see a world where Trump is not despised so much as pitied, where he is not noted for his financial success but rather his spiritual emptiness. I see a world without gas-powered cars. I see a world where the people of the United States don't worry about being great but instead try to be good. I see a country that celebrates Indigenous People's Day rather than Columbus Day. I want your children to learn to speak Spanish and Chinese. And I see it all taking place because of Donald Trump's epic failure. Look around you and tell me it ain't happening. 

If there is a silver lining for you, it is Trump’s presidency will tear down the Democratic Party as well. People will realize how utterly unable and unwilling they were to provide an alternative, how they were not and never would be an answer to Trump. That, at least should make you happy. 

Now get out there and vote, a new tomorrow awaits.
