Am I starting to hope for a
Trump win? The debate tonight should settle one way or the other whether or not
such a thing is even possible – and I certainly still feel that Obama is the
worst president the country has ever had and Trump could potentially be worse –
so no sane person hopes for stuff like that – regardless, I think I am hoping
for it, but in terms of: all scenarios are bad and fraught with danger - which
is the least bad? And I think it’s the recent nonsense in Charlotte that has
pushed me over that edge.
That a black cop on a police
force led by a black chief shooting a guy carrying a gun who refuses to put
down the gun after being warned to do so several times gets spun into the
“America is a cauldron of racism serving white privilege and the country’s police
forces are its praetorian guard’ narrative is a ludicrous absurdity – and yet
the left pushes it as if it makes complete sense – probably because
progressives have so taken leave of their senses that they do indeed see it as
a perfectly rational narrative.
Something has to stop this
madness. It sure as hell ain’t gonna be Hillary – that leaves you with Trump.
One madness to stop another – country really is a mess.
[this
fantastic essay makes the point much more thoroughly and convincingly – having
to choose Trump is an awful position to be in if one believes coherent ideas,
intelligence and a reasonable and moral character matter when it comes to the
presidency – but the menace posed to our constitutional order and the very
fabric of the country itself by modern liberalism and the radical ideologues
like Obama who make it possible is so great, dire and I think immediate that choosing
Trump can indeed be defended as the least bad option on the table. Yes, you can
argue that if the GOP keeps control of the house and senate then Hillary is the
safer choice – but that’s a big if and may not matter if the media is going to
let her get away with continuing Obama’s efforts to turn the executive branch
into a progressive despot’s playground – and of course the media will – but
they won’t let Trump get away with such abuses – seen in that light Trump
indeed does become the least bad option. You can argue that media bias always makes a flawed conservative
candidate safer than a flawed liberal one because the media will not hold the
flawed liberal accountable – see Obama – but will hold the flawed conservative
accountable with a fierce passion – see Bush. True, Trump may not actually be a
conservative but regardless the media will not be out to do him any favors]
