Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar. I hate Trump because he's a dangerous asshole. Of course, there could be more to it than that. But we should entertain the possibility that there isn't.

The corporate media is exploiting the Trump phenomenon, but they were here before Trump and will be here after him. All they need is the first two amendments to our Constitution. The Second Amendment assures them them a mass shooting whenever ratings sag, and the First assures them the right to profit from it.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree about capitalism being the root of all evil. (The love of money pre-dates capitalism.)
