You keep spamming this site, then calling it out as bullshit in the comments.

Why do you spam the site with content you feel is bullshit?
Do you think polarizing an issue and arguing the most extreme ends of it, is a reasonable way to get discussion?
Do you think after trying it more than a dozen times with no results, that maybe it'd be better to try something else?

Every post you make is polarized politics.
You don't upvote other users or contribute anything outside of politics. You don't seem to like the site, or enjoy your time here.

So why are you here?

Because it pisses you off to no end.

Therefore, it is worth doing, as you are a complete asshole.

The author writes:

Fool with a large “F” – a far more complex and challenging character who appears in plays by Shakespeare, Beckett, Pinter, and other dramatists of note. The large “F” Fool is not simply a dunce and target for other people’s tricks, but an important figure whose chief function, aside from comic relief, is to expose the false pretences and pretensions of the play’s highborn protagonists. Shakespeare’s Fools are employed by the one percent – nobles like King Lear, Duke Orsino, and Henry IV, who outrank them by miles, but who can never outwit them.

And concludes with

Shakespeare understood, if the Democrats do not, that trying to shame the Fool is not a winning strategy. Sadly, most of Trump’s opponents seem to think that the American masses will rally to a campaign stressing the President’s anti-elitist style rather than his pro-elite program...Those inseparably wedded to Wall Street, the American Empire, and the status quo; those who want to define political identity exclusively in cultural terms; those who, deep down, divide humanity into respectable people and “deplorables,” will never produce an effective people’s program. The anti-Trump forces could use a dose of Fool-ishness themselves if they hope to win the trust of alienated working people and stem the right-wing tide.

Author sees a part of the truth, yet does not want to believe it, but in the end, understands that Trump is doing what no one else has done before - he mocks, he cajoles, he states thing no one else can say, and walks away still in control, regardless of the opponents.
