Assessing Donald J. Trump
By G. Murphy Donovan
“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” — William Shakespeare.
If you are cynical and look at the Donald J. Trump phenomenon, you could say to yourself, “Who cares, it doesn’t matter; even if he wins in 2024, he will be gone in four years.”
Yet, many folks are just not comfortable with conflict, civic or otherwise; especially the kind of angst that comes and goes, only to blister again like a civic boil. To be honest, when we are most comfortable, change gives us the willies. In the end, the comfort game is a prayer for more of the same.
Politics reflect our affinity for the status quo. A Bush family vote was a comfort vote. Indeed, politics were the Bush family business. The Billary vote was a comfort to the point of complacency. If you liked Bill; why not Hillary? Alas, a smug American left tripped over its assumptions in 2016—then prudently kicked Bill’s wife to the curb. A Barack Hussein Obama vote provided the ultimate comfort, a prostrate virtue signal. A vote that said America is not racist.
Good luck with that.
