  6. General John Kelly voted for Trump, and eventually became his White House Chief of Staff. And THEN, he got to know him. ā€œThe depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it’s more pathet0ic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life,ā€ --- Marine General Kelly, Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff. In 1996, the Association to Benefit Children, a charity, held a ribbon-cutting at a nursery school servingĀ children with AIDSĀ in Manhattan.Ā Bigwigs who had donated a lot of money, like then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former mayor David Dinkins, and Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford were in attendance. But there was another dude who showed up—despite not being a donor at all. Guess who?7 "Nobody knew he was coming," another donor in attendanceĀ told theĀ Washington Post. "There's this kind of ruckus at the door, and I don't know what was going on, and in comes Donald Trump. He just gets up on the podium and sits down."Ā  According to the charity's executive director, Trump had never given a single dollar to the charity or the nursery school. But you know who did? The dude whose seat was stolen by Trump. Steven Fisher, a developer, had given a lot to the charity to build the nursery school. While the people sitting around Trump were concerned about him just showing up and jacking the Fisher's seat, the ceremony had already started and there wasn't much they could do by that point. As photographers took pictures, a children's choir sang "This Little Light of Mine," all while Trump sat nearby, looking like he was actually an honored donor. Trump even did the MacarenaĀ with some of the children and stars onstage.Ā  After the event though, Trump left without explaining his uninvited attendance—and he exited without even donating anything either.Ā  The next day, the charity's executive director had to email Fisher to apologize. "I immediately said 'no,' but Rudy Giuliani said 'yes' and I felt I had to accede to him," the executive director explained. "I am just heartsick. I hope you can forgive me," the executive director pleaded. Trump never apologized.

  22. Conservatives today rely on political institutions that brazenly undercut majority rule. The Senate, the courts,Ā the Electoral College — all provide conservatives with structural advantages at the expense of the many. But the Right isn’t content to sit back and cash in on the tilted playing field. It actively labors to restrict voting rights, skew the census, gerrymander districts, and generally increase the sway of the country’s most anti-majoritarian institutions. When confronted with criticism, they resort to theĀ nonsensical argumentĀ that ā€œwe’re a republic, not a democracy.ā€ Free speech rights, civil rights, and other protections are essential to a flourishing democracy. But conservatives’ contempt for majority rule does not spring from a concern for a beleaguered minority (unless you think big business qualifies as an oppressed group). The truth is, the Right doesn’t expect a majority of Americans to support their policies,Ā nor do they particularly care.. To defeat conservatism today, the main thing we have to do is to explain what it is, and what is wrong with it.Ā  Q: What is conservatism? A: Conservatism is the domination of society by an aristocracy. Q: What is wrong with conservatism? A: Conservatism is incompatible with democracy, prosperity, and civilization in general. It is a destructive system of inequality and prejudice that is founded on deception, and has no place in the modern world.. The origins of the term LiberalĀ  traces back to the Latin word liber (meaning ā€œfreeā€), which is also the root of the wordĀ "libertyĀ "("the quality or state of being free"). Conservative: tending to preserve or protect, preservative, having the power to keep whole or safe," from Old FrenchĀ conservatif, from Medieval LatinĀ conservativus, from LatinĀ conservatus, past participle ofĀ conservareĀ "to keep, preserve, keep intact, guard. In other words, to maintain and protect the status quo, and the establishment.
