Matt Taibbi on How America Made Donald Trump Unstoppable

February 25, 2016 7:41 AM

Like autoerotic asphyxiation, supporting Donald Trump is an activity many people prefer to enjoy in a private setting, like in a shower or a voting booth. "Trump found the flaw in the American Death Star. It doesn't know how to turn the cameras off, even when it's filming its own demise. The problem, of course, is that Trump is crazy. He's like every other corporate tyrant in that his solution to most things follows the logic of Stalin: no person, no problem. You're fired! Except as president he'd have other people-removing options, all of which he likes: torture, mass deportations, the banning of 23 percent of the Earth's population from entering the United States, etc."

This article is being discussed (and has been posted a couple of times) in this thread (but maybe it's worth its own thread as well).
