What Don the Con is saying by blaming the media, Democratic Party leaders or donors

Any media house that exposes his lies and does not let him push his racist agenda deserves to be attacked.
Any political opposition that challenges him deserves to be attacked.
Any donors who give his opponents money deserve to be attacked.
Do his biding or else!

he's NEVER at fault. It's ALWAYS the fault of someone else so he lies, reflects and projects and his Cult45 followers nod their heads, mimic his words and try to do what they think the idol they worship wants them to do like the anti-christ lemmings the vast majority of those left are.

What psychologists call it is what I'm going to use: mentally unstable.

We have a mentally unstable and not nice person running the ship of state. The question is what are others going to do about it.

Trump will be gone in 2-6 years. Either voted out, in prison, or grifting along in his golden bathroom. The real issue is what will his hyped up followers do after he is gone.

I've been trying to engage with a some followers online, asking them what they want to see in the post-Trump era. What is their vision for a good healthy nation? For the time being, this question seems to break them away from pre-digested quips and soundbites, to engage their thinking. They haven't really thought much about life post Trump.

I am finding that the more you can engage them in topics without a pre-established narrative or set of talking points, you can connect a little. Or they just sort of deflate, not knowing how to think for themselves and try to revert back to an established theme. But the act of being asked questions, and engaged with respectfully generates a small connection.

Example:
- What nation outside of the US is closest to your ideal of a great country, and why? (It will most likely be one more on the socialist side).
- If you had to relocate to another country, which one would you choose and why?
- How can you tell if government is "big enough" or "small enough"?
- If the entire state of California had wildfires so bad that it became uninhabitable, millions would have to move elsewhere. What would happen then? (mass migrations, global warming, etc.)

Be prepared to share your ideas briefly, so it's not an inquisition or a contest. Just talking, like friends.

IOW, this may be a very good time to start reaching out. These souls will be lost without tRump, unless some one worse comes along.

Any woman who he ever assaulted physically or verbally, deserved to be attacked
Any woman who isn't currently having sex with him, deserves to be attacked
Any woman raped by a white guy deserves it
The press better start complimenting him or he will have his followers rain down 2nd amendment solutions on them & will shut them down, except Faux, Breitbart, Daily Stormer and all fascist and racist rags.
Would the SCOTUS even care or rule against this? Most likely not unless Roberts suddenly develops a conscience, which is highly questionable. Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavarape would all be 100% in on this.
