"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Trump & the Conservative Establishment Deserve Each Other
The bankrupt political establishment has given us Trump as surely as Victor Frankenstein gave his community the monster. I'm all for revolting against the establishment, but we will regret making the authoritarian and boorish Trump the standard bearer of that revolt.

From the article (conclusion):
"...The bankrupt political establishment has given us Trump
as surely as Victor Frankenstein gave his community the monster.
I'm all for revolting against the establishment, but we will regret
making the authoritarian and boorish Trump
the standard bearer of that revolt..."
I'm a sovereign state.
Nobody has "given me" Trump or anybody else. When they try, I refuse and reject.
For my money they can select and/or elect Jack the Ripper to be grand wizard of their klan. I'll have no reason to regret who they choose. It will have no effect upon my survival tactics, or those of my family.
My Standard Bearer maintains the rotation of the earth on its axis. I'm sticking with The Incumbent.
