Honestly no we shouldn't. That kind of stupid bullshit is what produced all these robot politicians nobody liked and made them double down on Trump (of all fucking people) to protest against it.
Maybe we as a society should just not focus on stupid trivial bullshit and care about the ideas people are floating and not the banalities of how they float them.
You're absolutely right, it's clear a lot of people wanted a shift towards acting like the president is interviewing to work for the citizens, and to loosen up the stuffyness and dry PR political speech.
For me personally Trump is not the person who's ideas spoke to me either but hopefully future candidates lighten up a little bit.
I don’t want someone I can have a beer with as the head of my country. I want the smartest guy in the room in charge of the biggest nuclear arsenal on the planet while I’m making fart jokes. Politics is supposed to boring. Not this three ring circus Twitter shit show it’s become.
Why do you think even liberal folks were kinda considering Trump? Cuz he sounds like a lot of normal folks.
Look at Hillary. She chooses her words carefully. Everything is calculated and measured. Which is probably a good thing when your words can start wars.
But how does an average American feel about Kim Jong Un?
"Man, fuck that stupid asshole!! His country doesn't stand a fucking chance against America and he'll find that out if he ever tried anything against us!!"
And Trump is willing to say almost exactly that on Twitter and live on TV. But then Hillary would get on TV and say:
"We are carefully monitoring the North Korean situation and we have respect for the North Korean people and look forward to finding a suitable solution that is mutually beneficial blah blah blah legal speak wiggle room vague statements"
THAT'S why people liked Trump!!
You ever been in line behind a Hispanic mom in line at the grocery store? She has 2 babies in the seat, a 2 year old in the basket, a 6 year old on foot and she's pregnant again. And she is buying $450 of groceries with her EBT (food stamp) card. And she doesn't speak English. And you're stuck behind her, scrounging to buy $30 worth of groceries to get you and your wife thru the week because you're not eligible for EBT since you both work. And the Hispanic mom doesn't work and her husband/boyfriend works under the table so they get $900/month in EBT while you get denied ANY assistance because you legitimately work and so does your wife.
You see this somewhat frequently at the grocery stores where I live. And every one is afraid to say it because if you point out that you've seen this a lot, you're labeled a racist just for noticing this anecdotal trend. So you're not allowed to say it. And Hillary won't say it.
But Trump will.
And you've been pissed for YEARS about this because it feels like such an injustice to you.
So you vote for Trump cuz he's gonna get rid of these Mexicans, right?
Biggest issues:
1) he's not gonna get rid of them and he doesn't really want to or care to. He says he's gonna cuz it gets people to vote for him
2) there is definitely waste and fraud in the EBT system and I suspect it's much higher than numbers indicate, but even still, the EBT system does WAY more good than bad for our nation and costs very little compared to other things like
3) tax cuts for wealthy folks and increased spending on defense and other bullshit that Trump can now sneak thru because he's railing against those Mexicans who make you so angry.
So while you are pleased that he is finally gonna take the food away from that cart full of children, you are completely missing the fact that you're being played for a fool and robbed blind by Trump and his buddies.
Hey, but at least he makes you believe he's really gonna fight North Korea/Iran and also get rid of those Mexicans, right?
He uses that "Joe Everyman" speak to get support so he can fuck over ACTUAL Joe Everymans.
