I think you mean total annihilation of the world in a nuclear war.

seen none. Most people are so removed from the massive gears of political machinery they have little voice. If we did, Trump would have been removed by now. IMO WW III is coming and it's a damn shame.

We could bomb North Korea into radioactive glass, and Trump's zealots would only worship him all the more cultishly.

Even if NK destroyed Guam or Japan, Trump's basket of idiot racist fuckwits wouldn't question him. If anything, they would see it as carte blanche for Trump to do whatever he wants by whatever means necessary.

His followers would only love him more, he brought them the war and death they love so much. His followers are a death cult that want the world to end.

Many people appear to be sick of him and wish he was out of office. However, no one seems motivated to do anything beyond bitch and moan, clutch their pearls and write posts here and on Facebook. I see long winded and nasty arguments on Facebook that solve nothing. What I don’t see is anything that looks like a serious, well organized plan to take to the streets in numbers that matter. It appears that all the wind that was in our sails on the day after Inauguration Day has turned into a gentle puff of cotton candy.

Unless and until we channel our angst and distress about tRump into a visible army marching up Pennsylvania Avenue, no one who can do anything about this long nightmare is going to do one thing. They seem to be getting a lot of things they want and don’t want to dump tRump right now. They are rolling the dice with our lives and well being. Nice, huh?

It could cause a large portion in of the country to rally around Trump instead of turning on him.
