It really does just show how insulated they are from American imperialism and the death and sheer misery it rains down on the rest of the world.

Trump sucked ass too, but to say he's worse than a man who started unjust wars that killed millions because he put out mean tweets is just fucking disgusting.

    I think the one important thing that I heard Chapo Trap House say is that American Politics is Sexual Pathology. When Trump became president, half of America internally shouted "you're not my Dad!" because the conception of the American president as both the American head of state and nation imbues the office with almost a psycho-sexual importance to most Americans. It doesn't matter if he sponsors terror armies in Central America, or sells your kids' future, or kills a million people in Iraq. If he conforms enough to the ideal of the judicious and beneficent patriarch while gas is cheap, he's a good president.

      He just wasn't presidential, you know? Dad usually has more gravitas.
