This reads like a Hells Angels book report, with a strained and tenuous connection to Trump. Sadly, had the author read more than a single book by the author, he would have grasped a much firmer connection to the hip association of HST and the rise of Trump.
>> We parents tell our children that when you know you’ve lost an argument or a race, the right thing to do is to be a good sport and to “get ’em next time.” But if there is no next time, or you know that every next time you are going to be in the loser’s lane again, what’s the use of being a good sport? It would make you look even more ignorant, and more like a loser, to pretend like you think you have a chance. The game has been rigged against you. Why not piss on the field before you storm off? Why not stick up your finger at the whole goddamned game?
