WaPo: It is well-meaning to promise people things that can't possibly be delivered and will bankrupt the government in the process ... it is ugly and scary to attempt to rein in an abusive and out-of-control government.

The reality is that college educated voters overwhelmingly voted for both these guys. And college educated people who had been the ones buying the Washington Post have stopped reading it over the past ten years in droves.

The scary thing is the world that the Washington Post candidates have left us. Deflation is killing the world because lots of things that had value are shown to be worth much less. Just wait until the US government stops supporting colleges or drugs. Boom. Just wait until the fed runs out of ways to monetize its dept, boom.

The reality is the people who we have elected lately were Fabian candidates. Pretty boys who fit the suit and could lip sync from cue cards. Those people sold the American citizens to lobbyists, and foreign governments, and government retirements. And to keep their pyramid scheme going they need to import workers by the millions.

The Adams-Jefferson campaign was pretty ugly, too.

Should it scare us more than the realization that the American electorate elected not once, but twice:

An unknown, obscure, unaccomplished, radical, racist, lying, Alynskyite, pathologically narcissistic, thin skinned, vindictive, anti-American candidate who has embarrassed and alienated our friends and encouraged our enemies while orchestrating a flood of illegal aliens and unwanted, undesirable refugees, and while doing all this, has managed to saddle our country with so much debt it will never, ever be repaid?

Should we be as scared as all that?

“Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Sanders offer convenient scapegoats and simple-sounding solutions.”

We’ve tried complex-sounding solutions MY ENTIRE LIFETIME and they haven’t worked all that great either.

Perhaps a simple solution or two is really all that is needed?

Self-awareness is not a common Washington characteristic.

Folks this comes from the WaPo editorial board and not a mere opinion piece from one of their polluted lackeys. This is as Washington Cartel inside the beltway as you can get and speaks volumes. We so need to remove them and theirs from their perches and positions of influence. They should be Lois Lerner’d into submission, purged and forced into our version of “diversity classes” and re-education camps “lite”.

I like it when the WaPo is scared.

Nice summary - that's exactly what this dishonest article is trying to get away with saying.

Exactly...let’s just continue to let the FED BEAST run out of control and bankrupt the nation into ruin.

God forbid we try to change that coarse.

“Fascism” is - above all - a vision of society in which the federal government is seen as the lifeblood of society, and all other institutions - church, family, business, education, entertainment, state and local government - must be subordinated to it and “partnered” with it in secondary and derivative roles. That is Obama’s vision; I don’t think it is Trump’s. “Fascism” has no necessary connection to racist ideology, and Italian fascism was very different from Nazism.

"Us" = The decadent anti-American Left, of course...

It does! It scares the wits out of them. And it should!

They're going to be even more scared when he's elected and they realize that their invidious objective has been aborted.

Yes the truth is ugly to those who base their entire world view on lies.

The vile Washington Post is subscribed to by the various bureaucracies in Washington. A President Trump or Cruz can order these bureaucrats not to use taxpayer money to pay for those subscriptions. The end result will be the death of this communist “newspaper.”
