HARD TO DECIDE what to be most DISGUSTED about re: Trump



https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1142259435349467136.html?utm_source=ext

What troubles you most about your president tonight? That he brought the country to the brink of an unnecessary war (again) or that he was credibly accused of rape (again)?

Or is it the dead and dying babies on the border? The attack on the rule of law in the United States? His contempt for the Constitution? His open, rampant corruption? The Nazis at his political rally? His latest lies? Or the crimes you know he will commit in the days ahead?

In any just society this man would be in jail. In any functioning democracy he would be removed from office. At the moment, and for as long as he remains in office, beyond the law, unchallenged by those whose duty it is to hold him accountable, we are neither of those things.

If you are an official and you aid him you are an accomplice. If you are in a position to attempt to bring him to justice and you don't you are derelict. If you are a voter and you still support him, you are betraying your neighbors, your children and yourself.

He is the most evil person in my life time that has effected my life.

I don’t believe in hell but I do think trump will be reincarnated as a fly who lives on shit.

He has created so much bad karma that it would take a thousand lifetimes to work off.

What bothers me the most is 1) the concentration camps on the border and 2) his overturning of societal and governmental norms.

That just stands out to me, and its also an indictment against the evangelical hypocrites who should be railing against it. There is no excuse for this Hitler-ish behavior and there is no excuse for anyone who condones it as far as I'm concerned.

All the rest of his crap is just melding together in the same vomit pot that is his presidency.

I'd like to say lets start small. I want to see smiles on their faces in a home environment. If, I don't see their smiles, I want their smiles seen in a home and caring environment.

Additionally, the fact that he exists and that he has brought children into the world who are just as awful as he is. Also, the fact that he is still alive. He is the most evil, horrible person that has ever held public office in the history of this nation and he is causing millions to suffer daily.

Trump remains in office because more than 80% of Republican voters support him. Their elected representatives in the House and Senate may or may not like Trump, but very few will openly oppose him (let alone vote to impeach) because they will pay the price in the next Republican primary election.

That aspect of our democracy is indeed functioning, even though our political system is highly dysfunctional in many ways.
