That's a super long, disjoint, rambling piece for a "communications manager".

Trump is the James Joyce of Politics. I would get banned pretty quickly if I posted in here. I just lurk away. Watching you, carefully....

Please, if Joyce was a politician he'd be Sarah Palin, using Cormac McCarthy's punctuation. Drumpf is Ayn Rand, but with even creepier, Sadomasochistic sex scenes.

And you'd be a welcome voice here I'm sure.

If ever there was an article that "personified" this thead, I think this is it:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/30/opinion/campaign-stops/who-are-the-angriest-republicans.html?ref=opinion

A conservative writing about Trump supporters (angry white people)

"The truth about these dysfunctional, downscale communities is that they deserve to die. Economically, they are negative assets. Morally, they are indefensible. Forget all your cheap theatrical Bruce Springsteen crap. Forget your sanctimony about struggling Rust Belt factory towns and your conspiracy theories about the wily Orientals stealing our jobs."

and

"The white American underclass is in thrall to a vicious, selfish culture whose main products are misery and used heroin needles. Donald Trump’s speeches make them feel good. So does OxyContin. What they need isn’t analgesics, literal or political. They need real opportunity, which means that they need real change, which means that they need U-Haul."
