I know I have talked about this before, but it must be brought up again!

As Trump keeps demonizing our citizens and ignoring the laws of the land! Why does the GOP stand by quietly? Are they afraid of losing power? Maybe? Are they afraid they will voted out of office? Maybe? Are they afraid that Trump will turn on them? Bingo! They are so afraid of Trump, their spines whether away! If this were any other politician in the White House? They would all over that person. Questions of why are they afraid of him, is beyond the logical answer. Where are the Never Trumpers, i.e., Ben Sasse (Neb), Marco Rubio (Fla) and others who called out Trump in the very beginning? You wonder does Trump know something on them? Did Trump buy their support? One has to wonder? No matter what this country is falling fast into a dictatorship. This is our last chance to stop this man from retaking the White House and the next election. The internal fight of the Dems needs to stop and focus one thing, GETTING TRUMP OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE! If we want to survive as a country? Now is the time to come together and fight as one!

In the world of the 21st Century Republican Party, Trumpism is a feature, not a bug. We have to get real with the fact that four in ten of our fellow citizens are racist, synchopathic, homophobic, gun-fondling religious zealots.

They believe that the in-utero babies on the billboards are worth shooting people for (extra credit if they are POC) and validating their idiotic belief that Jeebus wants them to.

The Taliban lives.......next door.

a Permanent Republican Majority is one election away, and think of all the goals they've already accomplished. They've stacked the courts, corrupted government agencies, done away with regulations as much as possible, demonized anyone who is not a Radical Right White Male...and they have the states, the gift that keeps on giving.

I think the minute his bullshit stops that pathway to power, he will be toast. They will drop him like a hot potato. Now the trick is, what would he do to the people in power that would make them get rid of him.....hummmmmmmm...
