I agreed then as I do now.

You are right!

or blatant...but then, out in the open it is....

Did YOU ever try to rein in some of this shit at the campaign level? Did YOU ever promote or otherwise help the most vicious and conniving conspiracy wackos that slither around the edges of CON campaigns?

Any and Every GOP apologist and activist and political operative bears some of the blame for outcomes like these. If you stood there at the mixing bowl and stirred the cake batter or brought over the eggs or cup of milk, or you fixed the oven light before the mix went in for baking, you DO NOT get to claim you weren’t involved when that finished cake is ready to eat.

However, I do hear loud n clear what you are saying.
And I cannot argue at all.

I hold all Media voices to blame for the 24/7 Trump Infomercial they ran on an endless loop on TV, social media & print.
The assault on our country begins & ends with their public voices.

The republicans are ugly winners. I can imagine what they will do if they lose.

if we win. They want all control and elections are a major inconvenience, even though they've managed to get around them with the help of the SC for Bush and Russia for Trump.

As cowards they will start to slink back to their slimey foxholes and opioids when the Democrats start to take back the country. There are millions of Republicans regretting their impulsive support of the fascist hair-do guy.

Have courage and GET THE FUCKING VOTE OUT! Go door to door or volunteer to make calls for the BEAUTIFUL DEMOCRATS!

all three branches in 2020. I want payback, I mean jail for these traitors. Then repeal everything they did and then go after Kavenaugh or stack the SC. Any Dem who wants reconciliation should’ve primaried and tossed out. We need a modern day Teddy Roosevelt or better yet Genghis Khan.lol!

these very dark days.

and read them before he went to sleep.

He's a devious fucker. I loath that so many Democrats and progressives mistake the character he plays for the person he is.

Ego or no, he's quite happy to be thought of as an idiot; anyone who really thinks he is one is as much a benefit to his side as anyone wearing a MAGA hat.

Sun Tzu appreciated that being underestimated is vastly better than being highly respected in battle.

We got our asses handed to us until we stopped underestimating the Nazis.


NEVER underestimate your opponent.

Just because his speeches are very effectively targeted at a low IQ/low educational level doesn't mean they aren't as carefully constructed as anything the eloquent President Obama said.

Just a cranky .02, but if we don't take the house and lose more seats in the Senate, more of it will be due to these rallies - which are very carefully targeted - than any shenanigans; mark my words.

"gut feelings".
Those must be some pretty big feelings.

People like to ridicule Kushner, too, but that SOB knows marketing. Sure, he had to have dad in law buy him his Harvard degree, and might not be a very competent manager, but the Trump machine knows how to deploy market research in tactical terms.

Patton didn't like Nazi's, but he damned well learned to respect their ability to spring a nasty surprise.

No one should listen to the overprivileged, ignorant fools who claim we can't win just by being anti-Trump while they proceed to bash away at the Dems. Few if any of the pols are running solely on an anti-Trump platform to begin with. Anyone who can't see the value in defeating that regime is hopeless. Get out the vote. It's the only way to get the Trump humping GOP out of power.

and it's happening in ultra high speed; a day now, is like a month of Weimar.

Trump and his party of fascist's now. No longer Republicans if they've stayed, they're fascist's , and terrorists. The republican party is dead now. Its the party of hate groups and neo nazi's , and criminals, and liars.

Im really glad that people are waking up to it and I hope it's not too late.

Decades of propaganda and demonization by the rightwing noise machine have fertilized the ground for trumpist fascism to grow.

it is what takeovers of national governments can look like. Authoritarian, anti-democracy governments can take various forms. Fascist states, business or religious oriented, want your soul, with dutiful loyalty and obedience to the state. Typical third-world dictators just want the strict obedience and avoidance of fear, and a ready supply of forced labor and cannon fodder, otherwise people can live and die as they manage.

Today's terrorist incidents are just the beginning. Wait until after the elections - whether we win or not, the maniac #IPOTUS supporters will be completely unhinged by then.
...and let's not ignore the fact that these incidents have been incited by the same #IPOTUS - yes, the sitting head of the United States of America's government is inciting his lunatic base to violence.
WTF have we become?
How will this end?

There will be investigations and the repub/trump agenda will not move forward.

Be Brave! I will not give up the fight.

This is terrorism

He would claim a loss to be the result of massive voter fraud and a conspiracy against him.
He will rabble-rouse and inflame his adoring supporters, some who are unhinged enough to start violent trouble across the nation. Those last couple of months after the Trump loss will be fraught with danger for our democracy because I fear for what Trump will do. His tens of millions of supporters are going nowhere but then neither are we. Trump's rhetoric and actions and love of chaos will bring things to the brink.
