Let’s look at flakes for a minute. Barack Obama has been referred to as a snowflake. If in context that means an intelligent, articulate, poised, statesman, who tried to help this country’s middle and lower income classes regain so many things lost during another type of flake’s time in office, then I agree.

The conservative flake is a totally different flake, because snowflake Obama happened to be black, the conservative flake would not work with him to make this country stronger. In fact, they worked ardently against him even when what he proposed was good for the country.

Snowflakes are unique individual entities that when combined together make beautiful creations and can be a force to ensure the strength of our country.

If a company or country is strong and successful, it has to be from the bottom up not from the top down. The workers need to share in the prosperity not just the CEOs and stockholders. Conservative flakes do not agree, they want to reap the benefits but not pay the costs.

Donald Trump is a perfect example of a flake but he is not even a conservative flake, he is just an ignorant, arrogant, self-absorbed flake who is an embarrassment to the country and especially to the conservatives. The vast majority of conservatives do not agree with Donald Trump’s policies or procedures but the flakes continue to support him out of embarrassment, I guess, because they voted for him and can’t deny it.

We have the greatest country on earth, snowflakes.
