TRAILER-PARK, LIKE TOTALLY!
As Tubularsock sits on his underground deck outside his top floor corner office of his typical underground bunker overlooking Washington, D.C. from Oakland, CA … he ponders.
There is a stereotype in American Culture of the “trailer-park mentality and lifestyle”. It usually equates with “lowlife”. People that are similar to “carney people” without the talent.
Aimless people. People who have no roots in the community but live on the outskirts of town and are poorly educated and alcoholic and prone to drugs.
Well like all stereotypes some of these things are true about the “trailer-park mentality and lifestyle” but far more are false.
But Tubularsock is going to focus on the parts of the stereotype that are true. The part that the movies usually focuses on …… the lowlife.
And you know who comes to mind?
Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. No really, close your eyes, lean back and just think for a minute ……. can you picture “trailer-park mentality and lifestyle” here?
It really isn’t that big of a stretch.
Both of them have money but they just have that Trailer-Park vibe. Both are crass and have absolutely NO CLASS. Money can buy them an image as long as they don’t open their mouths ……. then, even their fairy godmother can’t put the obvious back into the bottle!
They both also crystalize the Ugly American personification. Loud, rude, shallow, pushy, entitled and pompous.
It is just the way they purport themselves. And they both have ended up at the pinnacle of the American Success Story ……. running for President of the United States. But far from the 1939 Mr. Smith Goes To Washington movie fantasy. Mr. Smith had intelligence, common sense, and principals. Sarah and Don lack ALL of those attributes. And so does our Nation even in 1939!
But who else do we have rushing to convince all of us that they could run the country?
Oh sure, Tubularsock but that could only happen if overnight the American public became enlightened and small chance of that happening.
And then there is the issue of Tubularsock’s Foreign Policy platform:
If Tubularsock became President Tubularsock would give North America back to the indigenous peoples and force all non-brownish citizens to move to Israel.
The neo-cons love Israel so much lets go fucking live there. A neo-con wet-dream and Tubularsock is right on board with that. And then we could all hang around the wailing wall and bitch.
Oh sure, this is all in the planning stage and some of the details will have to be worked out. But as soon as Tubularsock gets his closet together shit will change!
Yes, closet ……. a cabinet is way too small for Tubularsock’s ideas.
But then there is the Super Pac Folks sad sack Jeb and boring Hillary they lack class as well, in fact they are both pathetic examples of Americana.
Now there is also Bernie and Tubularsock thinks that out of all of them Bernie does have intelligence, common sense, and principals and in the American political arena that is not the qualifications Wall Street is looking for, in fact Bernie hasn’t got a chance.
No ……. it’s Hillary. In the closed door decision makers lairs it has been decided.
Tubularsock knows you think your vote counts …… it does, for Hillary. Jeb has already been told. The “votes” are in all that is left is the circus.
Don’t you remember? The rabble needs the circus.
That’s it!!You’re a genius Tube. The dream ticket for 2016-Trump-Palin! It would bring the American political scene to a new low-just when we thought it couldn’t go any lower.

Thank you Mike. With your past political work you know low when you see it. Tubularsock does attempt to bring truth to our national discourse. Hmmm, now there’s the challenge. Could we go lower? Tubularsock will try and hold a seance and see what Spiro Agnew is up to. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Right before the ‘Rupture’ and Jebus comes back, well, Jebus will be driving a monster truck sporting a confederate flag and a bumper sticker that reads “you can have my gun after the clip is empty!”
Great post Tubularsock. Oh yeah and, rumor has it that all the Donald wants from Sarah is to see her tits. Oh gosh, that was rude wasn’t it?

Well Don, Tubularsock believes that the “tits-thing” has already happened. Tubularsock has never really gotten the “tits-thing” for real. Tubularsock does however gets a little turned on when he see a rubber nipple on a baby bottle. My therapist says it’s called transference. Go figure.
Tubularsock will take your word for your interpretation of the “Rupture” because you can tell that Jebus is a pacifist or at the very least practical because he is willing to give up his gun when it’s empty.

Tubularsock, Such a great, evocative post! I can see it now … the Trumps and Palins replacing the White House rose garden with a brace of double-wides. And none of that high-falutin’ foundation skirting, either, or where would all the coon hounds hang out? Tobacco Road meets Duck Dynasty …

You’re right, money can’t buy class. With these two it’s evident that money doesn’t even buy a clue. You’d at least think they could get some proper advisors, but I guess yes-men are a dime a dozen.
