You'll never understand anything if you keep creating these strawmen and pretending you do not understand anything.

She's like... a seven at best, dude. *does enormous bong rip*, Anyway... I like Trump because around the time of the 2016 election I had what can best be described as a "prophetic dream", a vision if you will, wherein I entered this enormous stadium and saw Trump sat next to this Metro-Goldwyn Lion. I said to him, sneakily I should add, "oh man, so many people don't like you..." as though I was trying to bring him down a peg, unsettle him. But he just smiled. No he didn't smile, his face just took on this very calm, and wise, serenity: like he was totally beyond all that, as though to say to me, "you have so much to learn." Then I saw this aura surround him: Gold, Red and Brilliant White... He was, in that dream, like (and I know I sound ridiculous saying this) the Tarot Card "The Emperor" -- an absolute quasi-deity, a Welt-Geist that was to bring about the harmony of the Divine Male emerging again under the yoke of, what I felt at that time, the Divine Female in the form of its high-point of Woke. I should add that I wasn't completely convinced by Trump at that point, prior to his election, but when I Woke Up, I couldn't shake this sense of having my belief system overturned, of seeing the measly wretched deception in which I lived, from where I judged others to be lower than I, when it was in fact me who had the poison inside. He is funny, he is a charismatic leader, and I think he genuinely supports peace and the interests of the USA: whether the coastal elites might consider his specific form of taxation myopic or anti-bourgeois is by the bye -- if we take the reasoning at face value, the intent is good, and, although the results might hamstring the America economy, its a "new thing", a strange "new thing" that's actually an old thing -- and that hegemony would collapse in either case. The other guy? What is he, brown? The fuck?! I think people like him because he eats kebabs and knows about the internet and has a full head of hair, and because people hate Israel or something? And the other guy was purportedly a-bit-rapey in a kind of 70s way? I didn't pay that much attention but am thankful for your input and for educating me.
