The more Donald Trump draws ire from his chronic criminality and his sensationalist fascist Tweets—the more he creates the perfect distraction for all of the powerful people and dark money who don’t want us to even know of their existence.

I’m tired of being distracted. 

I want to address the root causes of the society we live in. The paradigm of this Consumerist / Capitalist America.

To me, Donald Trump is a loud-mouthed, ugly-faced, sensationalist, reality-tv puppet.Whose insides are suspiciously vacuous. Whose power is suspiciously lacking.

There’s a hand holding him up. Putting him on our TVs. Helping him escape criminal consequences. Using him to poison our justice systems with lifetime court appointments.

And that hand doesn’t have a face. Which is why we focus on Donald Trump. He gives us something to hate when we can’t identify the ambiguous shadow puppeteers in the background.

Trump's campaign & his voters are full of people who do buy into the rights of kings... rather than the merits of a president. But that's exactly why Trump is an absolute failure.

Because he never spends a single moment improving his self, his skills, or his campaign.

He chooses not to do what a normal human being would do—which is learn from their mistakes, grow, & improve on their ambitions.

So after 9 years, & many losses, Trump still walks on the stage repeating the same mantra over & over again: “I’m automatically deserving of it.”

And just like kingdoms were led by the worst people for centuries—we, too, have fallen prey to a poor leader who thinks he should automatically be given the chance to lead again, without lifting a finger to, in fact, deserve it.

This led me to consider that the reason people are so antagonistic, protective, and possessive on the internet is because the internet actually isn’t a public space for them.

It’s an extension of their mind. It’s a virtual space they hold within their imagination.

And thus, every time they read a tweet, or a post, or a video that disagrees with their worldview, they take it as an intrusion of their private domain.

As if someone walked up to their house, opened the front door without permission, and started reading a conversion pamphlet aloud to them.

No public forum prepared us for knowing what everybody around us thinks and feels. It’s unsettling, terrifying, uncomfortable.
