The US Presidential election will happen this week.
Looking from up here I can't figure out if Trump will stay another four years. He has done a lot of good in the eyes of his supporters but I'm not so sure the rest of us would say the same. I picture Donald Trump as the cartoon villain, Ursula, from The Little Mermaid.
Like any good story, a villain helps us to better understand the protagonist. The Little Mermaid's antagonist, voiced by Pat Carroll, is power-hungry, manipulative, flamboyant, and clearly comfortable in her own skin - a devilish disruptor with a poor reputation among the other underwater dwellers. Ursula is a Sea Witch, cold and ambitious. For the most part her character maintains these traits throughout the 1989 Walt Disney classic.
However I wish to make something very clear here: I am in no uncertain terms comparing the lovely Pat Carroll to Donald J. Trump.
Actress and Comedienne, Pat Carroll, has a heart of gold. She reads books to senior citizens living in nursing & rehabilitation centres! Born in 1927, she's probably older than some of the folks herself. Pat Carroll and Donald Trump really only have one thing in common.
According to my knowledge, they both played a role fabulously.
But this post isn't about Pat Carroll, really. This time we're talking about the Poor, Unfortunate Souls who in 2016 voted for a celebrity to run their "Sweet Land of Liberty". Thinking back to January 2017 when they swore in a man who had to host a television series to find someone willing to work with him. It was like, The Bachelorette, but for a sick, old millionaire with bad hair. What has he since done for the American people? Whatever happened to the whole idea behind, "United We Stand"?
When I look down at America from my deeply-flawed province in Canada, I can tell these people are hurting. Some had taken a giant leap of faith all those years ago, by trusting a man who claimed he could, Make America Great Again. I'd love to ask those same people, now more than seven months into a global pandemic, did Donald Trump succeed? Has he given you any more freedom than you already had? If you're lying to me, well I guess he did his job.
I see the USA in fucking shambles. You can't turn on the news anymore because it's frightening. Americans are scared, now? Well what the fuck were they thinking, four years ago, voting in a Sea Witch? I have zero sympathy for those who chose to support the words and actions of the 45th President of the United States. Like Ursula, he offered temporary opportunities the way a used car salesman tries to get you to part with your pennies. "Oh, you don't have a job? Just sign here. And here. And we'll take care of the rest..."
If you didn't catch the rest, allow me to help.
You've just paid $30,000.00 for a car worth $13,000.00.
Congratulations!
