Today’s paragraphs – actually, they are from an article published on August 5th – come to us from one Chauncey DeVega, a hard-leftist who writes for the equally hard-left salon.com and, in this case, was republished by the at least as hard-left alternet.com.
The article’s titled and subtitle, so help me, is:
We Can’t Look Away: The Joy of Watching Donald Trump’s Epic Presidential Trainwreck
Trump’s campaign and his takeover of the Republican Party are the political equivalents of a car accident
Here, with three months before the presidential election, is what Mr. DeVega had to say about Donald Trump’s campaign, and his chances for victory:
Donald Trump’s campaign and his takeover of the Republican Party are the political equivalents of a car accident. The American corporate news media—and many among the public, on both the left and the right—are participating in an act of political rubbernecking. They are transfixed by the skid marks on the road and the broken bodies lying nearby.
Liberal schadenfreude is also compelling; the apparent implosion of the Republican Party under the boot heel of Donald Trump is transfixing.
The headlines provide ample evidence of these raw pleasures. They read, “Donald Trump is destroying the Republican Party,” “Republicans are Plotting an Intervention,” “Is Donald Trump throwing his campaign?” and that he is causing a “freak-out” by pushing the GOP to its “breaking point.”
I am transparent in my sentiments. I will not hide or conceal how I am happy that Donald Trump is causing mayhem and chaos for the Republican Party. He is a pitiable and pathetic human being. The Republican Party is the country’s largest white identity organization. I laugh and smile as the racism and bigotry that has been the name brand and driving force of conservative politics and the Republican Party since at least the end of the 1960s has summoned a monster in Donald Trump that they cannot control. The name of the iconic Japanese monster “Godzilla” or “Gojira” roughly translates into “gorilla whale” in English. This is a perfect label for Donald Trump, he who is the “gorilla whale” causing trouble for the Republican Party and movement conservatives.
Whoops.
Chauncey DeVega wins Paragraphs Of The Day “honors” for providing a truly amusing, if thoroughly predictable condemnation of Trump (yeah, we know, all Republicans are racists, White supremacists and a half dozen other adjectives I’ve heard so many times I’ve lost count), accompanied by a retrospective of an election, long before it took place, that is so far from reality I’m not sure whether to laugh or just shake my head in amazement.
Way to go, Chauncey. Are you this good at the racetrack too?
