My attitude towards American presidential politics, being both a non-American who can’t vote and as someone who sees both parties as capital’s servants, is that the only value of an American presidential election is entertainment. I want to see an election play out like a good episode of Archer - just all kinds of crazy shit that makes people lose their minds and do even crazier shit. I want an election like a John Waters movie. I want an election like a Joseph Heller novel. I want an election that wallows in the depths of sleaze that would make Charles Bukowski say “hey, let’s tone it down!” I want an election so lurid that it makes a Traci Lords biopic look like A Charlie Brown Christmas. I want an election so depraved that Kevin Spacey pops his head up to say in sincere horror “jesus christ, what the fuck?”
And having the fucking Teamsters president doing a speech to Trump’s base is definitely in that category. I totally approve.
my hope is that he’s doing this to scare the shit out of the Dems.
