Usually you only have economically illiterate, American exceptionalism believing, sociopathic, millionaire neoliberals run for President.
It would have been quite a revolutionary change to have an economically illiterate, sociopathic, billionaire, American exceptionalism believing, neoliberal try his luck at the Presidency.
Since I’m a Brit, I look at US politics with a little anxiety. I hold my breath and hope you don’t pick some lunatic who might start a nuclear conflict somewhere. It’s bad enough that you’ve elected mass-murdering sociopaths for most of the last 100 years.
I thought we were toast with G W Bush, but he only destabilised most of the middle-east, resulting in the eventual extra death of over a million people, 5 million refugees, and dozens of factions of psychotic warlords rampaging in the power vacuum left behind after the interventions to spread “freedom” and “democracy”, and fight the “war on terror”. I guess we should be thankful that it only got so bad.
Bloomberg not running? I don’t give a monkey’s uncle about him. He’d be as bad as Obama or Clinton was. However; he’s right to not run. He has no chance and would only help Trump. And though I thought a President Trump would be amusing and entertaining in a way—really, it wouldn’t be. I’m as anxious about a President Trump as I was about President G W Bush.
So, dear America. Please stop electing psychotic, mass-murdering, ignorant lunatics. They affect the rest of the world more than they affect you.
