We have 44 days till the election and the mudslinging and name calling just gets more intense. One candidate is the focus of racial slurs, gender bashing, and anything else negative that her male opponent can think to call her. She is calling him on his record of failures, promises not kept, and basic inability to do much of anything but tell lies.
When this campaign is over and a winner is named it is a sure thing that when he loses he will be calling it cheating and stealing the election again. As we move closer and closer to the day of decision he is losing more and more of his base. Even the most ardent of his followers have to be getting tired of his constant whining about being a victim. According to the news mainstream republicans are looking to sever ties with him. So we can only hope that he will be through screwing up our political landscape with his shit.
The time has come for him to retire to the back of the theater and use your imagination. His departure from the scene and ultimately from our midst will be mourned by very few and celebrated by many.
Regardless of the position held in society the loss of our democracy is a loss that will be devastating. The wealthy that have funded Trump may think that they would be better off but that is not really likely. At present if they believe they are being treated unreasonability they have recourse, if we lose our democracy that will change. They will be doing as they are told and that will be it.
As for the rest of us, life will get a lot more difficult. The ones that feel their allegiance to Trump is somehow going to improve their lot will discover that his concern for them is as fleeting as his ability to remember where he is. If he spent 2 hours in a closed studio for a debate and then comments about audience response, is he really aware of anything?
His comments about not having to worry about future elections means we will have no voice. When you live in a society run by a dictator, that is the last right he is willing to give you, a voice. His is a fairytale world where he gets to do as he pleases and there are no consequences ever.
