I can say "I told you so" to quite a few people who have mocked me now. "I told you Americans are sick and tired of the Washington insiders and their backers dangling puppets to smile and say the right things at election times then do the opposite, blatant criminality, treasonous even. Treasonous? Oh yes, GW Bush, Cheney et al* knowingly lied, took the nation to a war that continues today, trillions of dollars, thousand of lives (millions if count the other sides!), a destabilized far more dangerous world, Obama promised hope and change. The people fell for it, got more of the sameshit in a bright new flavour. Clinton was right there as Obama EXPANDED the wars and continued to destroy the real economy. That is the essence of treason. Drone strikes in countries they are not even officially at war with? Is that not the actions of a rogue terrorist regime?
*See, I'm not partisan, Bush just represents the other flavour of puppet presented to voters) .
Trump would not have won in a healthy democracy, would have been a terrible president if somehow he did, but he is NOT a puppet owned by the Oligarchy and I dare hope (faint hope, but my god I do hope for this) that he will be a great wrecking ball that "drains the swamp". I think that is why he won. And we aren't so different, so far Trudeau is looking rather puppet to me!
You should hear me say what I really think sometime! I'd start with Clark and Liberals.
