We all need to put our hands together in supplication and thank The Donald.

I mean really, genuinely thank that guy for what he has done for our country.

Right now.

Seriously.  His present supercharged flameout is an obvious effort to create a phoenix narrative from which he will emerge from the ashes of his presidential bid reborn as the media demagogue that he never could have been on his show “The Apprentice”.

He is the new Breitbart. He will galvanize both sides of the shadowed, unspoken debate about power, class, race, gender and privilege that exists in patriarchy. He already has mobilized the ‘alt-right’ and brought their quasi-fascist ideologies into mainstream.  The conversation about feminism and sexual assault he has unwittingly initiated will open the door to a more mature discourse on the pervasive effects of violence and entitlement across power spectra (read: class, race, gender, sexual orientation) that will force people to take sides.  This is what we want. We need this schism in order to fully dissect the nature of our society and the evils perpetrated in the course of simply ‘doing business’ as a patriarchal superpower.  Women are routinely sexually assaulted here for the same reason that black men are routinely shot by police, for the same reason that everyone bitches about illegal immigration while forgetting that NAFTA compounded by the ‘tough on crime’ drug laws of the 1990’s fomented the creation of the Mexican drug cartels that now essentially rule our southern border.

This violent entitlement is integral to the worldview of many Americans, and yet not even recognized by its worst offenders.

So thank you, Mr. Trump, for playing the role of Entitled White Man so absolutely, so ostentatiously that you have roiled up those who admire and wish to emulate these repugnant traits in our nation.

Now we know who the bad apples are.

Keep it up.
