Trump and Honor Culture

[demi-conservative]

I don't support Trump still but it's funny also ironic to see people whine about Trump and insult, aggressiveness, violent talk etc etc here on this site. This site!

I don't accept the Honor Culture thesis, but do follow the link to Mere Orthodoxy. Pure Heaven to read.

I am not a Trump supporter, but I do take sadistic pleasure in the fact that he scares the dickens out of both parties.

I'd just like to see what Trump can do. Can't be worse than what Obama did.

He scares the GOP so badly that they would give the election to Hillary rather than to take a chance on Trump running.

Yeah, even I didn't expect the GOP to be THAT stupid, but.... they have exceeded my expectations in the past, so....

"Schadenfreude" perhaps more apt?

Yeah, perhaps that!

Not for me.
I take pleasure in the discomfort of the Left, but that's mitigated by their self-righteousness.
I approve of the message, but not the messenger. And for POTUS, we need an admirable, stable person.
Even my approval of the message is sullied by the brokenness of human nature that makes it necessary.
I would rather unreservedly applaud Sanders and almost all he stands for, but there is such evil in human nature that furthering the welfare state just corrupts us farther. I would rather I could be again the Modern Republican I was during Ike's Presidency. But Ike himself renounced that by decrying the "Military-Industrial Complex", and his brother Milton Eisenhower helped bring Castro's victory in Cuba.
