The cast of characters
Stalin, Hitler, Clinton, Trump
Lists of adjectives were culled from the internet via search engines. Example: "Hitler adjectives". Those lists of adjectives were massaged to make them more consistent. Your job, readers, is to match the character to the list of adjectives that popular culture assigns to that character.
List One:
Brutal, self-serving, ruthless, greedy, not capable of empathy, power hungry, amoral, duplicitous, corrupting
List Two:
Liar, dishonest, untrustworthy, experienced, strong, smart, crook, untruthful, criminal, deceitful
List Three:
Brilliant, condescending, ingenious, huberis, cunning, manipulative, cold hearted, populist
List Four:
Arrogant, bombastic, idiot, clown, egotistical, outspoken, crazy, brassy, strong, asshole
Without benefit of any research after reading the question, I will say list 2 is Clinton and list 4 is Trump. I'm less confident about Stalin and Hitler, but I will go with list 1 Stalin, and list 3 Hitler. I hope our choice doesnt come down to Clinton or Trump as our next POTUS.

Chicken dinner.
Golly, no suspense there.
Yes, an election between Hillary and Trump would be a bit like having to choose between Stalin and Hitler. One is a ruthless, cunning political apparatchik. The other is a populist lacking all of the normal checks-and-balances.
One could describe the whole filthy lot as authoritarian. They of the group that would rule YOUR world.
ReplyDeleteWhile Trump is not my first choice for the next POTUS, I would gladly take him over any of the current DNC candidates (and of course the current POTUS).
ReplyDeleteThat hypothetical, I hope, election, is a toughy. Do I vote to keep out someone I am opposed to on moral grounds, on one hand, or do I vote to keep someone else out on other moral grounds, on the other hand? Or do I go with my conscience and vote for a third party and pick someone who I can get behind, but who I know realistically has little chance of winning?
ReplyDeleteThis shapes up to be a very curious and interesting election cycle. This from someone who will admit to voting for John Anderson during Reagan's first election.
