THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Okeefenokee]

nah, I never believed that shit, man. It was just, like, an allegory for the thing that happened a thousand years later, to a guy that they didn’t end up believing was the guy that it was about. /sign of the cross

Anyway, these guys throw their passenger overboard in a storm, right? And the storm goes away, so they’re cool. And so, like, the whale is Whale of Death, man. And, like, it swallowed him because he was dying, and kept him in an air pocket or some shit, and the whale didn’t eat. But that’s all, kind of a story about the 3-day resurrection.
/rubs ashes on face

So, Pinocchio is just like, another allegory for Jesus, man. But like, he’s really about us, and redemption, but like, you can find the truth within you, Dude.
/whips self with a cat o’nine

Goin to heaven, brot- “”HEY YOU FAGGOTS, BURN IN HELL!!!

But like, Jesus is Love, man.

you really turn this place into a shithole with the garbage you post.

Valuable insight, as always. I do appreciate the time that you put into your insults. They really class up the joint.

Here's an interesting read on Tocqueville, Jackson, and Trump, and pretty fair to all involved:

Trump—and Tocqueville?
For all his bluster, the president has championed values that built America, as Tocqueville saw it.

Visiting the United States in 1831, when Andrew Jackson was president, Alexis de Tocqueville was appalled by the “vulgarity and mediocrity” of American politics. After meeting Jackson, Tocqueville concluded that the low tone of American society started at the top. In Tocqueville’s estimation, Jackson was “a man of violent character and middling capacity.” Worse, he seemed to have no talent for politics: he rode “roughshod over his personal enemies” in a way no president had done and treated members of Congress with disdain. “Nothing in all the course of his career had ever proved that he had the requisite qualities to govern a free people,” Tocqueville wrote in Democracy in America, “so the majority of the enlightened classes of the Union had always been opposed to him.”

Considering his view of Jackson, imagine what Tocqueville’s first impressions of President Trump might be. Real-estate mogul, host of The Apprentice, owner of beauty pageants, and backer of WrestleMania, among other louche enterprises, Trump would seem to confirm Tocqueville’s worst fears about debased standards of American public life and leadership. And yet, Trump campaigned on issues that have a Tocquevillean resonance. Put another way, Tocqueville highlighted certain dangers to democratic liberty and greatness that Trump—who, it is safe to assume, has not read Democracy in America—instinctively seized on to win the presidency.

I need to read Tocqueville again. That's a great book
