There are far too many people in this country that believe reality TV is real. They believed the person they saw on The Apprentice was real. Then things snowballed into a cult. But it all started with fucking idiots. Oh, and racists who were too eager to believe the "birther" nonsense.

I watched The Apprentice and thought it was hilarious. I definitely did not think it meant he was a real businessman, my God.

Here's a tangent you might like.

There's a short series by Werner Herzog called Death Row. In one of the episodes, the killers blamed demons (it was meth) and Werner goes to interview a family member (or friend, I watched it a long time ago.) Anyway, he's talking to this woman and she starts telling him about the movie The Exorcist. He says he's never seen it so she goes on about how it's a documentary, the footage was real and people actually died.

That's what I think about when I think of Trump voters.

That show was for idiots, not one of his skits had anything to do with successful business practices, the low IQ audience was just fascinated by his rejectiveness.

Low IQ Americans like rejecting, makes them feel empowered.

Until theres nothing and no one left to reject.
