Trump Card

What. In Allah. Is going on?

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was more confused in my entire life. There was the time George W. Bush got a second term, the time I found out Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny weren't real, and the time Dan Aykroyd was actually Bill Murray in Space Jam. Even with all of these confusions, and especially the last one, none of them are more confusing than Donald Trump leading all Republicans in the run for president. NONE!

Do you know that feeling when you just wake up from a dream in the middle of the night; just in those first few seconds, and you just have no idea where the hell you are? Everything is dark, and every strange looking shadow looks like a being from another planet. That terrifying moment is exactly how I've felt ever since Trump started running for president. And that fear is heightening every time I see that he's beating out, what I would call "legitimate humanoids" in the race to run our country.

Now, on the other hand, it could be a fantastically amazing thing for the Democratic party if Trump wins the Republican primary, because--at least you would think--whatever Democratic candidate that wins primary would be a shoe-in for president, right? Isn't that a logical train of thinking? I mean, there's no way Trump actually becomes POTUS right?

Can everyone just take a quick step back, just for one second, and think about a world with Trump as POTUS. For me, the first thing that comes to mind is a scene from any Terminator movie where the whole world is basically one fuck-storm of shit. The second thing that comes to mind is that moment where Harry's character in Dumb and Dumber-er is accused by Bob Saget's character of shitting all over the bathroom (SPOILERS: it's actually just melted chocolate, but that's besides the point).

I mean, listen, I've joked before--sometimes semi-seriously--about moving out of this country because of all of the shitty goings on here, but the fact that Trump has a chance to run this country for 4 years makes me want to start saving money now in the legitimate event that he becomes president, because our nation is still full of cluster-fucks who think it's perfectly OK to be a bigoted asshole (yes, that was a run-oniest of run-on sentences, but it was much needed OK?!). Every single progression that Obama has made for this country in the past (almost) 8 years would likely be reversed. The world's collective brain would spontaneously combust!

This is the part, in earnest, that I start yelling at the Democratic party: You. Need. To. Vote. For the love of fuck. For the love of every fuck there is, if you do NOT vote then this country could enter into the worst 4 years of its existence.

Want to know what's really scary? Every single time a president has gone two terms, whether Republican or Democrat, the following POTUS came from the opposite party. Every time. Every. Single. Time. If Donald Trump actually WINS the Republican primary, then, with history on his side, a really good chance of seeing Trump as POTUS.

If there's one thing Democrats have been awful at for quite some time, it's voting. And I'll admit, even though I've only been voting age for 6 years (voted 2 of 3 times), I started out as everyone else, "Ahh, my vote won't really matter. There's no point." No. No. Play that card any other time. NOT. THIS. TIME!

No one wants to live in fear. It's stressful. It's painful. It's exhausting, debilitating, etc. But this time...this time you HAVE to be afraid. Fear will keep us from potential and unequivocal destruction. We will see the quickest turn-around of progress to regress that has ever been observed. There is a very real chance with Trump at the helm that we go from the United States of today to the Greece of today. THE GREECE, PEOPLE! The Greece.

Think I'm joking? Here's an article on how Trump has handled his businesses:

With as much money as Trump has, it's easy for him to play Monopoly on a small-scale. Yes, although owning separate businesses sounds like "big-scale" to the rest of us, it's small in comparison to, ya know, running our country's finances. Not only am I concerned about his financial dealings, which is worry enough, could anyone seriously imagine this guy being our Commander in Chief?! He would bomb everything that made him upset! It would be like that movie with Denzel Washington called "The Book of Eli." Everything would just be sand-dunes. We'd all be dead from a past nuclear holocaust. Am I over-exaggerating? Well, fuck, do I hope so.

Let's not even give it a chance, though. Please?

Thank you.
