Donald Trump is an evil man, but his political enemies are evil, too

By David McElroy · January 3, 2021

I question the judgment of anyone who has ever supported Donald Trump in any way.

Trump was a liar and a fraud as a businessman. That was plain to anybody who honestly listened to him for many years, far before he got into politics. He has no ethics. He has no principles. He has no moral compass. If you understand narcissist personality disorder (NPD), you know he’s mentally ill.

That doesn’t mean I support any of his opponents, of course, because they are simply different brands of evil. Just because Trump is a mentally ill fraud and liar, that doesn’t make the more mainstream politicians any less evil.

Anyone who can keep supporting Trump at this point is being willfully blind to his unique brand of evil. He is like a mafia crime boss who will do anything — tell any lie, break any rule, cross any line — to hold onto power.

But even with all of this said, the truth is that it is a waste of your time and energy to debate about Donald Trump or Joe Biden or any of these other charlatans. Your future is going to be determined by the decisions you make — not who wins political power struggles.

If you are focused on Trump and Biden — or if you see any politician as your savior — you’re laying the foundation for your own destruction.

I don’t like to write about politics anymore. That’s partly because whatever I say is going to anger a lot of people who are unwilling to rethink what they’ve been taught, but it’s mostly because all of this is such an incredible waste of time.

I spent more than 20 years working as a consultant in state GOP politics. I turned against the entire system for deeply philosophical reasons, but even if I still believed the civic-minded propaganda which I grew up believing, I can tell you without reservation that both sides are just as evil.

They have different rhetoric. There are surface-level differences between the two sides. But under the surface, the vast majority of them are the same sort of power-hungry charlatans who want your money and want their egos stroked. And the more successful they are, the worse they tend to be, no matter how well-mannered they learn to act in public.

(I was once one of them. I wanted power, too. I know what it’s like to be seduced by this darkness.)

Most of you have bought the evil notion that you are required to choose one side or the other. Even if you agree they’re both evil, you believe it’s your duty to choose the lesser of the two evils. But this is insane, especially in the long run.

What you see around you today is the result of choosing “the lesser of two evils” for generation after generation. It’s not getting better. It’s getting worse. And every time “the other side” seems to get more evil, most of you think that justifies you supporting a more powerful evil on your own side. And then you turn a blind eye to the evil which you have enabled.

All this means is that you are actively supporting evil. What’s worse, it means you are wasting your time and attention on something which you can’t control — and you’re wasting your opportunity to make decisions and take actions to prepare your own life for the disaster which politicians have created for us.

It didn’t matter who won the 2020 presidential election. It doesn’t matter who wins the election in four years. The fiscal situation is so bad and the cultural rot is so deep that this society is doomed to some form of collapse — political, social, economic — no matter who is in charge.

Worrying about who is in charge right now is like fighting over who mans the bridge of the Titanic after it’s already hit the iceberg. The ship is going down. The best thing you can do is focus on saving yourself and your family. You are wasting your time, energy and effort to fight old battles which have no significance.

There’s still time to make decisions about saving your own family and finding places where you can escape the dark days ahead. But time is running out.

When Noah started building an ark to escape a coming flood, everybody thought he was crazy. They all kept living their normal lives, both the most decent people and the most sinful people. But once the rain started, only those who had been prepared were able to escape the awful flood. The rest of them — both good and bad — were killed by the flood.

In a metaphorical way, that is where we are today.

If you keep watching television news and reading angry posts online — fighting with others about who is right and who is wrong in Washington — you’re not going to notice when it starts raining. You’re going to be so focused on people who are all going to be washed away that you will lose your own life, too. And your negligence is going to doom your children as well.

It’s time to ignore the evil politicians who want to control our lives. We can’t stop them and it wouldn’t make any difference anyway.

You had better start building your ark, because some of us know that it’s already starting to rain — and there’s a terrible flood coming when we least expect it.

Here’s the latest of my ridiculous parody shorts. It crossed my mind Tuesday to wonder what a slick and fast-talking car dealer might do right now to try to turn the high price of gasoline to his advantage. So I conceived of a fat and lovable character who tried to sell cars that don’t use any fuel — and then I started wondering if it would be funnier if all the characters were felines. Designing the King Cashpaw character took about four hours, but the rest took only another four hours, so this was a relatively quick piece that virtually wrote itself. I know it’s almost impossible for these parody videos to find a larger audience, but at least they amuse me — and there are 19 of them on my YouTube page now. The first few were very limited, but they’re getting more complex.

The Republican Party is dead. It still exists in name, of course, but it’s nothing but a shell. All that’s left are idiots and stooges and con men of the MAGA party. When Donald Trump is gone — which won’t be long — those populist idiots and pragmatic fools will have no one to follow. Democrats will thrive. They will take more power than ever and they will push the federal government further to the radical far left than ever. When that happens, don’t just blame Trump if you’re a conservative. Blame every person who has claimed to be a conservative and has given up on principles, character and everything else that Republicans once claimed to stand for. As someone who worked as a GOP political consultant for many years, this is disgusting and disturbing to me. Those who have enabled Trump to have almost unchecked power are going to be shocked when they see what they will unleash in the long run. It’s been plain all along what this narcissistic con man is. It’s your fault that you chose to pretend not to see what he really is.

We are ruled by the dumbest and most incompetent people among us — and we have a system which allows stupid and irresponsible people to force the costs of their idiocy onto smarter and wiser people. Can we get away with that? Yes, for quite some time. But we eventually reach a point at which the dumbest of the dumb — who are habitual liars and mentally ill fools — lead us to the disasters and destruction that some of us have seen coming for years. We are approaching that point. And yet most of the idiots around us still wave their rhetorical banners of support for the evil people who are leading us to ruin — and all of them point their fingers at someone else, never noticing that their own enthusiastic support of evil is to blame. When things finally fall apart, blame yourself for your blindness to the evil, not whoever happens to be in power when it happens.

I’ve been making some changes to the site lately and there are more changes coming in the days ahead, so don’t be surprised if you some small differences. This is not a wholesale redesign, but rather the addition of some features. Since they’re smarter than I am, I’ve put Oliver and Alex in charge of the technical work, which you can see in this action photo from the control room of our media complex. I recently added a series of landing pages for readers who randomly discover the site from an Internet search. I’ve also changed the YouTube link at the top of the page to go to the new YouTube channel for video essays that reflect things I’ve already published here. (Here’s a little bit about both of the YouTube channels I’m working on.) In addition, I’m trying to move away from using Instagram, so I’m experimenting with photo plug-ins that will eventually allow me to host the pictures — cats, dogs, sunsets, whatever — that I often take. So don’t be surprised to see more changes. Thanks for your patience. Let’s hope Alex and Oliver know what they’re doing.

I have no use for the theocratic and repressive government of Iran. The people who run the country are cruel at best and evil at worst. The Iranian people deserve freedom. But I have no personal quarrel with anybody in Iran. While I’m not thrilled about a future Iranian government having nuclear weapons, I’m just as concerned about nukes in the hands of politicians in Israel, Pakistan, India, China and Russia. I’m not even thrilled with the U.S., Britain and France having them, either, because I don’t trust any politicians to be responsible with such terrible weapons. All I can say with certainty is that American taxpayers have no business attacking Iran, especially since we’re being forced to pay for this attack in order to benefit the politicians of Israel — and nobody else. If Middle Eastern countries want to fight among themselves, that’s none of my business. It’s not the business of the U.S. government, either. I have no quarrel with anybody in Iran — and having the government which claims to represent me launch an unprovoked attack against a sovereign country will only make all Americans less safe in the near future. This attack is poorly conceived and morally unjustified. Remember that when the Iranians launch attacks that we will then condemn as “terrorism.” What the U.S. is doing right now looks like terrorism to me. And let’s not forget that the attack is the latest in a long line of unconstitutional wars by various U.S. presidents — who have no legal power to declare war on their own, according to the U.S. Constitution.
