Yes, most Americans have progressive values when it comes to things like universal healthcare, quality education, wealth inequality, and environmental responsibility.

But I honestly believe that the reason progressives are doing well in the polls and the primary elections that Trumpism is nothing but a sick joke, and this is becoming clear to more people every day.

There is a certain class of lowlife that is thrilled that the U.S. is being led by a corrupt criminal, but these numbers are dwindling.

Why Progressives Are Succeeding

Does America have to be constantly starting new wars against the imaginary enemies of straight white male Christian morons?

Of course!

It’s the only path to peace.

American Crusade?

Normally, “nihilism” means the belief that life is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.  Trump was elected by mean-spirited idiots, but they could hardly be called “nihilists.” For example, they believe very strongly in white supremacy, the dismantling of the federal government, saving people from the lethality of vaccinations, etc.

Now, there is a secondary meaning to the word, i.e., those who reject established social systems.  In this sense, I suppose they are indeed nihilists, in that they reject lawfulness, honesty, human rights, truth, science, tolerance, and compassion.

Profound Nihilism?
