Many political reporters are trying to ascertain why there is so much anger on the right. Why are so many people willing to cast a protest vote for Donald Trump given his personal baggage and ideological inconsistencies? Why is there unprecedented hatred for the Republican Party by GOP voters, bordering on calls for a third party?
On a Friday during the dog days of summer, there is usually not a lot of political news worthy of print. But this year is different. Not a day goes by when Americans are not entreated to another story about the foundation of their country, security, values, and system of governance being dismantled before their very eyes. Concurrently, they witness the opposition party do nothing meaningful to give voice to their concerns, and in fact, are often witnesses to the GOP treachery in helping Obama with the fundamental transformation. They feel dejected, disenfranchised, and desperate.
Here is just a sampling of stories from this past week alone that represent existential threats to the foundation of our country, yet there is no serious organized effort to fight back on any of these fronts:

Obonzo has turned it into a toilet for the world’s freeloader and criminal “refugees”. I knew we never should have allowed the single digit I.Q. types elect someone to the presidency who is not an American.
‘entreated to another story....’?
Proofreader!
The opening sentence contains the answer. If the media was objective it wouldn’t be struggling to understand.
The nut IN the nutshell:
“Not a day goes by when Americans are not entreated to another story about the foundation of their country, security, values, and system of governance being dismantled before their very eyes. “
Making America great is a protest vote?
mccain run off by injuns!

Boom...exactly. They cannot figure out why Republicans are catching hell by defrauding their voters.
You see, we are living in a de facto one party state. This party, call it Republicratic or Demopublican, has two wings, a “left” Dem wing and a “right” GOP wing. They differ sharply on below-the-belt social issues (abortion, same-sex “marriage” etc.) but on the big stuff like trade, foreign policy, they’re pretty much on the 50 yard line (albeit with some outliers in the ranks who don’t have much influence). This party has the game rigged. A winner-takes-all electoral college prevents alternative parties from having any kind of real influence in Presidential campaigns. Vote for a third-party, and you’re tossing your vote away, or at least making it easier for one of the Deompublican wings to win. Yes, there should be an electoral college, but it must be proportional. Big question is how to proportion it. Tempting to use congressional districts, but they’re subject to big time gerrymandering. Ballot access laws are ridiculous in many states. Trying to get on the ballot as a third party candidate in PA, for example takes 10 times as many signatures as a Demopublican. And heaven help you if any of the signatures are questioned. Same thing with debates. Third party candidates are treated like kryptonite.
Popular mass democracy brought U.S. down and gave U.S. the obamanation we live in today.
Our Founding Fathers knew all along that popular mass democracy would lead to unlimited government and socialism. That’s why they set up limited government constitutional republic. The Electoral College was set up to elect the POTUS. The state legislatures elected U.S. Senators. Voting in federal elections was limited only to property owners. I now see the wisdom of that.
Popular mass democracy leads to unlimited government and is therefore hostile to free market capitalism, private property rights, and ultimately individual liberty.
America? It’s devolved into a corrupt, third-world sewer. With a totally degenerate and totally faggoty culture. And the GOP did nothing to stop this. They never even seemed interested in stopping any of this, rushing to surrender and collaborate at every turn with those bringing this.
With no country left, everything has been rendered moot. Might as well go for broke, and send in Trump, who’ll either bring back some well-needed sanity, or be a reckless atom-bomb who’ll blow the nation to Kingdom Come. Either option is preferable than what we have now.
