Everyone Wants Trump. I mean EVERYONE.

The Comfort Class is Running Scared

Something for everyone

Comedy and tragedy mirror each other. In comedy, everything goes wrong for our hero but we know it won’t kill him. In tragedy, we know it will.

For similar reasons, assume that the Democrats and Republicans are mirror opposites of each other.

Despite his histrionics, Trump is a blank slate. Socially deaf. A focus of a heart that is a lonely hunter. One can see him as the hero in one’s war with the deep state, or as the villain in one’s desire to see democratic institutions working together for the common good.

He’s everyone’s useful idiot perfected.

The United States has become divided into two main classes. (There are others but they’ve been marginalized). The first class is anyone who owns property AND generates income, either through investments or work. Let’s call them the comfort class.

The second class either doesn’t own property, or what they own they risk losing because their income is not keeping up with expenses. The struggling class.

I understand that income- and wealth-inequality seem like stale news. The good news is they will even out. The bad news is that its never happened in history without most of the world’s population hiding in their homes.
