Hard to believe that one infantile, narcissistic, piggish ignoramus can cause the world such trouble

Sure, there is his merry band of miscreants. But - one person! One person leading to dozens of daily headlines on issues he is causing - here and abroad. One...single....person. Sadly, we seem to be seeing the power of unimaginable wealth (well, if he does indeed have that...who knows for sure?). Something is just fundamentally wrong that this can happen.

It utterly boggles the mind. There just must be something in the works to get to the truth and remedy this colossal malady.

One person can cause incalculable damage that can change the course of history.

Empires can rise and fall on one persons shoulders. We are probably seeing this happen right now before our eyes.

You cannot have 30 years of 24/7 fascist propaganda pouring out over TV and radio in this country and now the worldwide internet without a reaction.

Hitler and Goebbels would have absolutely loved this system!

Elections can have dire consequences.

Like the election that made Hitler chancellor of Germany for instance.

There will be tons of books and movies about it, like there are now about the Nazi era.

with the consent and collusion of the rest of the government.

That appears to be happening. The GOP are acting as "Good Germans" and we will all suffer because of them.
