General Discussion

...every one of them eventually gets around to doing an episode (or episodes, plural) about serial killers. Specifically, the story addresses:

1). What void in the lives of the victims did they feel they would fill by letting this person in, and

2). If the serial killer is suspicious on any level, raises red flags, sets off alarms, etc, why did the victims choose to ignore these early warnings and convince themselves that the serial killer really is "someone else" and can be trusted?

That's a question I don't think America will ever answer.

I loved seeing your use of the words "boorish pig" because that's exactly how I normally describe Trump, all the way back to pre-"Apprentice" days, going on the Howard Stern show and waxing philosophic over his own daughter being "a piece of ass." It's how the New York elites see him...some were amused by him, others repulsed, and they let him dance around the outskirts of their inner circle but never fully welcomed him into it.

One analogy I also use is from the old black and white 30s vampire movies...the vampire must be invited into the house. He can hover outside of that window all night long and flap his wings and that's as far as he is going to get until the victim invites him in.

And yeah, America invited the vampire into the house.

Can't be explained away with logic. America believed the "Apprentice" lie, the fictional TV character who was never Donald Trump, and never will be.

America thought it would be wicked cool to deport all of the brown people, not giving a thought to the fact that the U.S. infrastructure is not wholly supported by Caucasians, and no...white people aren't going out into the fields under the blistering sun to pick lettuce.

Everything we are going through right now was self-inflicted. Not by you. Not by me. But by enough people to have re-elected him, eagerly expecting something they are never going to get.
