BITCH THAT TRUMP / Matador (ePub)

The case against Pu$$y Mouth Trump (PMT), those who voted for him, and American-style 'sh!t-show democracy' since the dawn of the first Trumpian presidency in the United States.The author argues that it is not possible to become the ultimate decision maker and thought leader of arepresentative democracy without being representative, that Trump did indeed win the popular vote amongst 'typical' Americans, i.e. white Americans, as minorities are, by very definition, not typical (for example with Hillary Clinton only getting 43% of the popular vote amongst both the categories of white American women and, contrary to a common misconception, white American youth aged between 18-29), and that he may even be, more than any other person currently alive, the very embodiment of the typical American of our time.The book places this in the context of comparing the current political system that resulted in a Trump presidency with the systems of numerous other countries, from the single-dominant-party systems of 'officially capitalist' Singapore and 'officially socialist' China, to the essentially 'direct democracy' of Switzerland, thereby highlighting how concepts such as democracy and freedom may best be understood in terms of contrasting levels between countries rather than in terms of something that a country simply is/has or is/has not.
