Charles Pierce - "...and the audience of equally vicious buffoons..."

Esquire - This Vicious Buffoon Is a Vessel for All the Worst Elements of the American Condition

Quote:
And comes now this hopeless, vicious buffoon, and the audience of equally hopeless and vicious buffoons who laughed and cheered when he made sport of a woman whose lasting memory of the trauma she suffered is the laughter of the perpetrators. Now he comes, a man swathed in scandal, with no interest beyond what he can put in his pocket and what he can put over on a universe of suckers, and he does something like this while occupying an office that we gave him, and while endowed with a public trust that he dishonors every day he wakes up in the White House.

The scion of a multigenerational criminal enterprise, the parameters of which we are only now beginning to comprehend. A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides.
Charles P. Pierce gives us the most accurate description of the Trump base to date...the audience of equally vicious buffoons.
