the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been—arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel.

It is America’s shadow made flesh ... proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn’t just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.”

Kornetzke is saying trump is a symbol of the ugliness America "... has always been" ...

As the longest standing democracy in human history, and as the leader of the free world for 100 years of Western history, America has almost never been "The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul..." That would be the felon that 77% of America did not vote for.

So to all ten of you Oliver Kornetzkes online who shit on this great country by sloppily flogging it with trump?

You Kornetzkes can go shove it.

No one -- especially Americans -- should NEVER-EVER judge anyone or group or nation by its worst moments or people, only by its best -- and for the world, there have been tens of millions more of those moments and people from America. America created the modern world after WWII.

One example of the 'Kornetzke historical stupidity': If the U.S. hadn't invented, built and distributed the Internet infrastructure of the planet, its literal neural system, Kornetzke wouldn't have had the media means to sloppily flog America with its worst leader in its history.
