My takeaway from this election: America would rather have a manipulative, lying, racist, piece of
man who is literally a criminal in power than a woman.
I know, I know... policies! promises! economy! ... except the guy wasn't just one of those typical "whatever, all politicians are liars" candidates... he's an actual, literal liar. Everything he says and does is a lie and his only goals are to protect himself from further legal proceedings and to pad his own family's pockets.
They voted for that thing twice(!) over a woman. The first time, there was at least an argument of "he just says that stuff for a laugh, he won't be like that when he's elected." This time around, everyone knew exactly what he was and exactly how we was going to be if they elected him... and they chose him anyway.
Everything else aside, I still believe that whomever occupies that office should still, at a basic minimum, be a good person with at least the intention of being an honest and fair representative of the entire country (and everyone in it). This bonehead is none of that, and the only thing he cares about representing is his own family.
What a
show. Have a great four years, United States of Russia!
Edit: In case there's any confusion, I'm not bragging about a lying criminal being elected over a woman, nor am I rubbing it in. I'm pointing out how absurd and ridiculous it is that this is happening.
