So sad for our country as we cope with the most corrupt presidency in our history as this unravels every day. Trump will clearly surpass Andrew Johnson, Harding, and Nixon as our most corrupt president when this entire story is revealed. As I’ve written on here multiple times, the Trump presidency is like watching Reservoir Dogs set in the Oval Office.
And yet in places like rural Oklahoma where there is no newspaper of substance the rural uneducated whites and evangelicals still cling to Trump as their savior.
Let’s be candid, the scariest demographic for America isn’t Isis, it’s the uneducated males and the evangelicals in this country who haven’t come to terms with LBJ and the civil rights legislation which he passed while he was in office. The Solid South for the GOP was created in this aftermath and Trump with the Birtherism aspect of his presidency has taken it to other parts of rural America.
Nixon was worried about a McGovern candidacy while Trump was concerned about a candidacy from the only viable moderate in the Dem 2020 field.
Oklahoma has no viable newspaper of any consequence to offset any of this. My guess is regardless of what is revealed the state will remain in the grip of the Trump bullshit pulpit.
This is why unchallenged ignorance in our own country is even scarier than Isis.
I’ll be very interested to see if Dem Kendra Horn will be able to hold her congressional seat in Oklahoma’s 5th District in 2020.
I need to make another sign to go with my PUTIN-trump 2020 sign:
IMPEACH and REMOVE.
