I have long since grown tired of the civics text platitudes that produce the continual bleat that candidates, especially somehow Democratic Party candidates, must always give people something to vote for. The removal and destruction of an enemy is something to vote for! Hate is not just a powerful but a legitimate motivator. Elections are about gathering the largest possible number of people to a single banner, and very little fuses a mass of people like hatred. I cannot recall ever hating a living man like I hate this cheap thug Trump, and I detested Reagan and despised Bush.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
