I ask this in a good way because there’s a lot to be said for Comrade Putin. Yes, he allegedly has his critics poisoned or shot, but once you get past this he’s really pretty good. For one, he refreshingly sticks up for Russia and defends her against encroaching PC stupidity. (Compare this to BHO, who propagates PC stupidity.) He also has Greenpeace morons thrown in the Gulag, even going so far as to not cater to the Vegans amongst them. He doesn’t force feed them bacon or anything, they just have to subsist on bread and water for a while. What’s not to like about the guy?

Anyway, back to The Donald: Donald Trump. One gets the sense that he’s cut from the same cloth as Vladimir. For one, he wants to make America great again. Nobody has dared utter such a notion for a long time. Democrats don’t want America to be great, and Republicans are afraid to try because some minority will find something to be offended over. PC, or political correctness, is nothing more than a way to stifle dissent against the left and it’s enforced by minorities, gays, feminists, trans-fill-in-the-blanks, or whatever other categories have been conjured up recently. They just have to say they’re offended and all dissent is stifled.

Except it doesn’t work on Trump. Or Putin.

Why doesn’t it work on Trump? Probably because he gets right back in their faces and hands them twice the shit they’re dishing out. And he makes it look easy. You’d think the rest of the GOP would stand up and take notice, and they have. Except they aren’t learning from it, they’re trying to stop it. Evidently, the Republicans have grown comfortable with their role as a minority party, even when they’re in the majority. They’ve even deployed Romney, to help the GOP lose this election too. First time we’ve seen last cycle’s loser try to make the next guy lose.

It’s an interesting and entertaining year.
