re: #40 HappyWarrior

That son of a bitch has no concept of what the American dream is because him and his father and brother and sister and brother in law are fundamentally opposed to what makes this country what it is. They’re autocratic and nepotistic assholes who our ancestors came to get the fuck away from. He has no idea that the American dream is that we shouldn’t be defined on what our parents did and on our own merits. And you know what the same is true for Dumbo Jr and his father, their fathers are and were both awful but they’re pretty awful on their own merits too.

Nepotism has been part of this nation from its beginning; people should be defined on their own merits but too many care who your family is and not who you are. Trump has no understanding that the only reason he is able to claim wealth (or pretend wealth) is because of his father and grandfather. This is why he endorses white supremacy and racism: he wants to promote the notion that he has better genes; that accomplishments are based on our bloodline and are deserved. Those who are poor and uneducated are so because they are of inferior blood. Isn’t that a very Calvinist interpretation of society?
