Relax, the conservative snowflakes, ideologues, racists, xenophobes, homophones, dummies, and deplorables have a hero. He is a fake, but that doesn't matter, give the republicans et al their hero, a draft dodger and vagina grabber, but he says the things they want to say but are afraid to. Let them enjoy their time, happy and content as the elite and the swamp gets all the benefits and they get words. Just say Hillary or Obama and they smile with joy.
Rebecca Solnit: The Loneliness of Donald Trump
Nearly 20 percent of Trump’s supporters disapprove of Lincoln freeing the slaves
“The trick never ages; the illusion never wears off. Vote to stop abortion; receive a rollback in capital gains taxes. Vote to make our country strong again; receive deindustrialization. Vote to screw those politically correct college professors; receive electricity deregulation. Vote to get government off our backs; receive conglomeration and monopoly everywhere from media to meatpacking. Vote to stand tall against terrorists; receive Social Security privatization. Vote to strike a blow against elitism; receive a social order in which wealth is more concentrated than ever before in our lifetimes, in which workers have been stripped of power and CEOs are rewarded in a manner beyond imagining.”

Philip Roth said of Trump: "Whatever I may have seen as their limitations of character and intellect (referring to Nixon and G.W. Bush), neither was anything like as humanly impoverished as Trump is: ignorant of government, of history, of science, of philosophy, of art, incapable of expressing or recognizing subtlety or nuance, destitute of all decency, and wielding a vocabulary of 77 words that is better called Jerkish than English."
