Quite so. I just hope that after Republicans warm up to having a demogogue and race-baiter as their standard bearer, that Democrats warm up to have Hillary Clinton as theirs. She is not corrupt or untrustworthy, as the propaganda against her claims. People need to get behind her and keep the mad dog out of the Big House. I don't want a president who sends everyone he doesn't like to Guantanamo Bay and tortures the families of our enemies. He is a loose cannon and we don't know what we're getting if Americans are fool enough to elect this guy. But then, Americans are fools whenever they vote Republican today.
Xers and Millies are tired of establishment creatures telling them how to live. We are tired of establishment career politicians (mostly boomers) telling us that things like Mass purges, economic planning in the form of "multi-year" plans and large-scale militarization are bad things. Russia and China are doing much better internally than us because they shut up their wide eyed idealists at Tienanmen in 1989 in China's case and by state consolidation in Russia in the 2000s, thus preserving masculine values in those countries. Because the do-gooders here in america have done much more damage, Trump would have to carry out extensive restorations, but masculine values and the natural order of things will in the end prevail.
