Why America, Why?


Across social media there are calls from Trump supporters to just “give him a chance” with constant reiteration about uniting to “make America great again”. Why are so many people so eager to jump aboard this crazy train? Do people really feel like America is currently a giant shit-hole that needs to be made “great again”? Do people feel the answer to the world’s problems is a billionaire who walks all over people, disregards science, and has little to no respect for anybody? In the world of programming, Trump would be the new developer you just hired on that isn’t quite smart enough to realize he doesn’t know everything. Instead of trying to analyze an issue and resolve it, he’d rather just wholesale dump billions of dollars of effort into the trash, blame the previous developer, and start from scratch. I seriously can’t believe people voted for this guy. If you really need reasons as to why I dislike him so much, PLEASE feel free to take your pick from the below:
