I have to be honest.
It was hard even writing that title.
But I 100% agree with it. We need The Donald. He has been great for America and will continue to be so during this election.
I
will even go so far as to say he is the greatest thing to happen to
politics since FDR, maybe even Abraham Lincoln. In completely opposite
ways of course, but just as impactful in the socio-political realm.
1. He has pushed politics to the forefront of conversation for months.
I
was a political science major. I love politics. The combination of
social dynamics and leadership involved in the political process
fascinates me. The average citizen does not take politics seriously
enough, but they have since Trump. And just to be clear, you can take
something clearly and still be bat s*** crazy. I am just appreciating
the fact that people are so fired up, so engaged in the political
process.
Have
you gone a day in the last 6 months without talking about politics, or
at least hearing others’ conversations about politics? Has that ever
happened in your lifetime? That’s a rhetorical question, I know the
answer is no.
American
citizens that have not given two s***s about politics are discussing it
daily. They have the same views as you, they don’t have the same views
as you, who cares? The fact that people are listening, contemplating,
and discussing politics on this scale is amazing. That would never
happen without Trump. Granted, Bernie is the left wing equivalent to
Trump (but with actual strategies, none of which are bigoted in any
way), which creates a similar discussion on the other side, or opposite
side to be more accurate.
Polarizing
figures are great for everything. Business, sports, television,
everything. It forces you to have an opinion, it pushes you to react
(hopefully only verbally).
Can you imagine baseball in the late 90’s without the Yankees?
The NFL without the Patriots?
Coffee without Starbucks?
They all force you to have an opinion. Trump forces to have an opinion. He is too extreme, and now too popular not too.
It’s fantastic!
We are discussing politics at a level I have never seen!
It’s beautiful.
2. Trump has been a litmus test for this country.
Have you ever had more clarity on the socio-political climate of America than you have right now?
That’s because of Donald.
He
says crazy s***, like he is building a wall, or he is going to kick out
Muslims, block Muslims, whatever, and you say that’s crazy! Then you
see rallies, blogs, news stories, and trends on social media supporting
it. There are people supporting his craziest ideas? There are a lot of
people supporting his ideas? Really?
Wow.
That’s
my point. You wouldn’t have that “wow” without Trump. His ideas, his
popularity, his huge or Yuuuge number of supporters has given you more
clarity as to where we are as a country than ever before.
You may not like what you see, but at least you see it.
You
need to thank Mr. Trump. If it weren’t for him, we would be in the dark
about where this country stands on issues of race and religion. I mean,
we had an idea, but this blows all of the sugar coating off of it. We
can’t pretend it’s anything other than what it is, fugly.
I bet you had no idea so many people wanted a wall between Mexico and the US.
I
would double down that you had no idea how many people wanted to kick
Muslims out of the US based on nothing but their religious affiliation.
You thought it sounded a lot like WWII propaganda from a certain,
small-mustached, individual. Surprise!! It’s not!!! It’s a huge part of
the USA, and in 2016!!! Thanks Trump!!
America
Admit it. He is pretty awesome.
He has given us more in the last 6–12 months than any non-President has in the history or the US.
That’s saying something.
It may not be what we wanted to hear, or what we wanted to see, but we are much better off now than we were a year ago.
Clarity is yyyouge.
Politics are yyyouge.
And we can think 2016 GOP candidate Donald Trump for them.
Thanks buddy.
I know that even you are surprised (whether you admit it or not).
