Trump! Let the fire burn how it will.

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2016.06.09

Some people are going to vote Trump because they want to see the elites suffer with the rest of us. Sounds a bit like "Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die." But I have to say, I understand this anarchist impulse. Exclusion has become a way of life, and at least that tragicomic contender panders to the impulse for some sort of creative destruction. Pity that Trump can't create anything but fraud and disaster.
