Come On, Sly, Give the Rump A Chance--Please?

Tell me again how I'm supposed to be okay with having this in a key government position

The first election I voted in was Reagan vs. Mondale. I voted for Mondale.

I've had people tell me I'm being an "alarmist" and being "unfair" to The Rump, that I'm being "disrespectful" and need to "give him a chance."

I've been around for a lot of years and I have never felt this concerned before. Frustrated, yes. Worried, sure. After all, there was the Cold War and there was Reagan and his "Star Wars" plan. But I never compared Reagan to Hitler.

I never saw reason to compare either of the Bushes to Hitler either.

Surely one would think I might have reason for thinking as i do about The Rump, for disrespecting him so utterly, for feeling that comparisons to Hitler are apt. But nope, I'm just a silly little neophyte with and overactive imagination. These people can keep telling themselves that about the dissenters while The Rump and his lackeys destroy this country.

Sly responds to this Daily Beast piece. regarding the fact that Trump's speech sounded extremely nationalistic.

Not to defend The Rump, but I'm not surprised that his words weren't his own. He really isn't that intelligent. I've said from the start that he's a figurehead. On his own, he would be an offensive, ludicrous boor like he's always been, but in the end, not too much trouble to remove. It's the ones behind the curtain who are the true danger. I am in no way being hyperbolic when I say this.

Personally, I don't think Trump is terribly aware, if at all aware, of how nationalistic the words coming out of his mouth sounded. He is not a politician, he's a carnival barker. Further, the only person Donald Trump cares about is Donald Trump. He will do whatever his advisers tell him, including neo-Nazi and domestic abuser Steve Bannon.
