damn_registrars's Journal: Conservative Clairvoyance

A while (years) back some conservatives claimed that we had we had elected a POTUS who hated the country. I laughed at them, but did not realize at the time that they were actually expressing profound clairvoyance. On Saturday the White House came to be occupied by someone who indeed harbors great hatred for our country.

Do you doubt me? Take a look at what he actually said in his inaugural address. Here's a hint - blessing America is dramatically different from loving America. You can do both, just as you can do one or neither. Trump opted for a rather unique combination of blessing it while hating it. I can't think of anyone who ever before was so bold to put that combination on display for all of the public to see.

It is hard to tell if it is therefore better for his sake that he had one of the least-attended inauguration ceremonies of recent history. Although even as much of a total moron as he is, he should still be well aware that people were able to see his vitriol posted to news sites and other web pages.
