After watching Mr. McMahon on Netflix, (and besides feeling the need to shower after) I came to the conclusion how our elections are very influenced by what's real: More so, people want a good story line, and that's what they will vote for. It doesn't matter if it's fake or untrue but as long as certain folks running do the "good guy vs. bad guy" rhetoric the way McMahon did for the WWF the votes will come in. Mr. Trump is very, very similar to Mr. McMahon in his leadership and rhetoric. He also was a big fan of pro-wrestling. Mr. McMahon and Mr. Trump are both very good actors, who actually play themselves. Crazy and unhinged, which some may find endearing, the way rooting for the bad guy is kind of cool, but in reality it is very, very dangerous.
Trouble is that this isn't pro-wrestling, and these created stories have nothing to do with real politics, or do they move any of the real political issues. We are at extreme risk that the distraction of the story, drowns out democracy and our rights disappearing, and no one will think that this is a bad.
Vote to keep democracy first---as that could disappear, while some keep cheering as it happens. Vote to keep our Rights, and not have them taken away. Vote to squash hatred, racism, misogyny----any "we are superior to them, because they are garbage, or dangerous, or a threat to the status quo.
Please, voters, especially in the swing states...WE NEED YOU NOW.

Yes, of course. He's a con man. He cons himself. We can only hope that there's a big Democratic turnout. She's not perfect but she's miles and miles away from his crimes and lies and divisivness. Lucinda Williams captured in her song "Man without a Soul."
