Earlier this week, CNN conservative commentator Jeffrey Lord compared Donald Trump to Martin Luther King (cue much deserved outrage). Now I used to think conservatives/republicans made these comparisons out of some sad need to have a modern American icon to compare themselves to, since unlike Liberals/Democrats who have Harry Truman or the Kennedy's or Martin Luther King or Franklin Roosevelt (you know, politicians who have actual accomplishments that help ordinary folks), conservatives have no one. I mean, outside of republicans, most Americans think Reagan was little more than a doddering old fool, and republicans are so far removed from Abraham Lincoln's legacy that he might as well have been a (modern day) Democrat.
But the older I get, the more I believe it's just stupidity--conservatives/republicans have no fucking clue what MLK or JFK or Truman did, but they know that most folks have positive opinions of them and so they throw the names out there hoping it will stick.
And good fucking luck with that.
It also illustrates a major difference between the two parties--republicans talk the talk but they can't walk the walk . Could you ever imagine a Liberal/Democrat commentator saying that Bill Clinton was the Virgin Mary of economic recoveries? Fuck no, because we don't have to--we actually fix problems and make the world a better place, unlike conservatives/republicans who have nothing to offer other than bullshit.
Fuck Donald Trump,
