Trump just happens to be their useful idiot. The Repugs are systematically dismantling everything in the USA. Health Care; immigration; schools; the environment - both physical and social; woman's rights; civil rights; etc.
They aren't creating jobs - they are setting us up for a negative job downturn that will this time take us into a recession. Costs for everything will go up - while the only ones that will be able to afford anything will be the top 1%.
This should and will hang on the backs of the Repugs come 2018.
I just don't understand how or why they continue to do the damage that they are doing. One doesn't have to be an economist or a rocket scientist to realize this.
Somehow they need to be stopped.
Why aren't we hearing Dems or MSM painting this picture for us.
We all know this is happening right under our eyes - yet we're letting them get away with this.
This is more than - in the words of Trump - Sad or Bad. It is disgraceful.

There is no way in hell they get this much power and they dont take everything from us.
So it isnt will they, it is how do we convince people to stop voting for their own literal demise?
I say we cant that the feelings of racism and bigotry are stronger than survival.

(24,745 posts)plan for RUSSIAN world dominance. ... Dismantle not only our democracy but every protection (environmental, civil rights, etc.) a country by, for, and of the people embodies.
You know how everything out of his mouth is a damned LIE?! Well..."Make America Great Again." The biggest lie of all.
We are getting very frustrated at my house at seeing all these dots, many of which are being connected, all these impeachable offenses, but no actual action.
Am I too impatient?

Their double standard is absolutely insane.

(22,340 posts)Are the Repubs doing everything possible to help the elite on the backs of workers? Of course. Clinging to the American Dream isn't going to help in fighting against that. If anything, the Repubs are using the concept of the American Dream to garner support for their programs. Those that need help aren't working hard enough. If you make it, the Dems just want to tax you. Which is all false, of course, but relies on the myth of the Dream.
