Nominee Donald is the trump card for the elites because his grotesque facade is perfect for scaring Americans into accepting the owners' real choice: Hillary. The idea is to scare us into accepting Hillary by framing Donald as the next Hitler, bound to usher in an era of Fascism. But doesn’t America already resemble a fascist state? Police murders, NSA surveillance, prison slave labor, extraordinary rendition, persecution of whistleblowers, etc. America’s first African American president delivered continuity of government, and the next figurehead will be no different. The job of the president is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. America’s imperial system is a self-actualizing feedback loop that grants a monopoly of force and authority to the ownership class. Elections are rigged. Political solutions are a fairy tale. Banks and corporations are infinitely more powerful than the politicians they control. So why do we tell ourselves that, "This time, voting matters"?

Also good on the topic, if you haven't come across it yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlptgqP_PEA
That's fantastic! Thanks, Snooze! We'll use that bit for our 5 November show. I love stuff that philosophizes about the implications of the current status quo rather than simply complaining about the details.
Yeah, it is a great angle on things. Hands us back the looking glass. Glad I could help a bit. :)
