The Race

The entire Pumpkin administration has been a test of his ability to outrun reality with ever-more transparent, obvious and insulting-to-the-intelligence lies.

His base laps these up like dogs eating their own vomit, because he's the only one who explicitly and loudly validates their racism.

The capitalist class don't care because they feel safe from the violence, and they own him.

That's it. Really simple, actually.
