You think that Donald Trump won because too many people saw his picture on TV?

I'm going to say he won because he said the quiet part out loud and a good chunk of Americans are just dumb bigoted fucks. Especially now.

Ding!! The ruling class used Trump to weaponize bigotry.

Whats fucked up is as I've watched all of this unfold, I can't help but briefly entertain the idea that those fuckers all decided to do their own version of Richmond Valentine's Plan from Kingsman:

When you get a virus, you get a fever. That's the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way: global warming is the fever, mankind is the virus. We're making our planet sick. A cull is our only hope. If we don't reduce our population ourselves, there's only one or two ways this can go: the host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host. Either way...
