America deserves Trump.

You do seem to have an extraordinary fixation with arses and lavatories? Do you indulge in coprophilia as well?

lol

Google is great for looking up big words for small minds like yours. I notice that cretins like you employ the similar cut-and-paste technique.

Well you're the one that is continually beseeching people to eat shit, so I naturally assumed that you were giving a personal recommendation.

As most RW illiterates, you have a poor grasp of the English language. Go bitch slap your early grammar teachers, especially your home schooled mommy. They failed you. More likely, you failed them.

I am English, it's my native language unlike Septics like you. Look, if you want to eat shit that's fine by me. Live and let live is my motto, just brush your teeth before kissing your missus.

You are English? lol What the fuck does that mean?

Illiterate toad?
 
Well there's your problem right in front of you. It's a simple enough sentence containing only three words yet seemingly you don't understand it. Not sure how I can help you any further, maybe you've contracted some nasty brain disease from all the shit eating?
 
you seem to have cognitive dissonance. everyday you celebrate how nobody in america likes trump and he is the most unpopular evah but in the same breath you say that he and his values are simpatico with America. which is it? How can he be simpatico and also hated? it doesn't add up.

Nice.

Let's make a crucial distinction first, and then revisit your question.

(1) Robinson's column obviously makes the point that there's an America devoted to the good stateside ("a better Union") and around world, where standards of decency are deemed valid and binding, maybe even an America governed by law and the high-flying verbiage of the Declaration of Independence, or the Constitution.

(2) Nomad in his Op contrasts that with another America, governed by greed, resentment, racism, anti-intellectualism, and mass-murderous military adventurism, in which standards of integrity count for shit, and the above-described aspirational America is a tactically deployable myth, at best.

The parts of America in the former description deserve better than Trump, expect from their President a call to America's better angels, and despise the man, or so Robinson's argument goes. Whereas the American reality - an America stripped of its self-serving myth and any and all aspiration for something better, as described in the second paragraph - based on shared resentments has found its true embodiment in the Trumpy. In that view, America deserves the Trumpy as its best, most appropriate representative to the world.

So, finally, there really is a lot of cognitive dissonance around, as, for instance, folks confuse appeals to America's unique aspiration, along with pointing out failure to live up to it, with "hatred of America", and other folks confusing the "myth" with America's much more mixed and ambiguous reality.
