In every conceivable way.
And he is doing it in plain sight.
And nobody with any sort of platform is pointing it out.

(2,438 posts)I really don't think they care. One thing that I have noticed through the years (noticed personally mind you) the people in the Republican party are hell bent for power and money. They will do anything to obtain it with very little regard of the cost.
They say the right catchphrases to a generally stupid populace that willingly votes them in and never makes the connection as to why their lives are so miserable.
They just simply do not care.

(27,742 posts)and am radio crap propaganda has paid off. A goodly segment of the populace is completely ignorant of any facts and believes that no one but fox tells the truth about anything. You bet he is doing it in plain sight.

(6,709 posts)only about his ego and bank account. That is all he has EVER cared about; everything else is at best collateral damage.

(171,042 posts)It could happen! Hope springs eternal.
shanny
(6,709 posts)largely predicated on how a person's delusions and self-interest can blind him to reality. I don't think the preznit has a CLUE how much jeopardy he is in (and how he did it to himself by running for office in the first place).

(2,301 posts)It's actually true in the case of this president. He's an asset of Putin's.

(63,221 posts)He does what he is told to do. And his party is too cowardly to stop it.

(6,911 posts)They wish to tear down the government. When there is no government, it hope will be replaced by a theocracy or a corporate idiocracy.
I posted this six months ago on DU and was dismayed by the clueless responses, some to the effect that anarchists are a cool, secret underground clique and Republicans aren't cool enough to be anarchists.
It certainly opened my eyes to the problem we all face. If "a problem correctly stated is half-solved", then we aren't even halfway to solving the problem yet.

Where's McConnell and Ryan? Does the appointment of a few judges matter in a country headed to constitutional failure?

(1,605 posts)While 50% of the voting public slumbers in apathy, a virulent, extremist faction of conservatism is at work throughout the land, locally and nationally.

(1,000 posts)All Republicans are dedicated to the destruction of the United States that we grew up in. From the congress critters to the voters and everyone that listens to Fox Snooze, or Rush Limpballs. We need to call them out every time!
Protect yourselves and your children, Every time you see a republican hide your money and your kids... let them know that you know they are thieves and pedophiles.

(13,357 posts)...as more *gasp* revelations and dots are connected, they continue to empty posts and fail to replace...they dismantle peace treaties, etc, they deregulate certain industries, they sell weapons, they make deals, they take CONTROL.
As stupid as Trump is, his "puppetmasters" have a deconstruction agenda.
AND IT'S WORKING
shit is falling apart. And I know you are gonna tell me to put on my but the CIA bitch really hit a nerve today. They WANT someone in charge who is not afraid to torture...

2+2 will NEVER equal 5, no matter what they say!!
Eyeball_Kid
(7,430 posts)The nightmare: Trumpy will fuck it up. Intentionally. And he'll be provocative and incite war. Logically. His decisions are arching toward violence and war. No one will stop him. The GOP leadership is all bought off. Money not only speaks, but it doesn't speak. Money has silenced the GOP leadership, because THEY knew of Russia's influence, and Russia's influence on THEM, and they took the money anyway.

duforsure
(11,885 posts)because he couldn't lift his sanctions for him because he's so compromised, and weak on Russia, and putin. Rump could care less about the American people or this wouldn't be the case . He only cares about himself, and power. He always says the opposite of the truth when making promises and claims.
