If you drive drunk you get locked up

If you run a country while insane, you get millions of people who love you, and you get to do whatever you want to do.

There's something wrong with this picture. Can it be stopped? Can it be fixed?

And as for those millions who don't "get it," is there a cure? A vaccine?

The only vaccine/cure/or whatever you want to call it, is the end of today's Republican Party. They've spent decades making their "beloved leader" possible. Time for them to pay the price.

I can't get a government job with multiple bankruptcies, yet a man with 6 is president

there are so many examples of behavior such as trump's barring another person from employment, acceptance, etc...

there are serious flaws in a system that allows this

Hundreds of "spiritual leaders" have been convincing their flocks that Jesus actually meant pretty much the opposite of what he supposedly said.

THAT corruption lies at the heart of this national one.

We are seeing the results of decades of Republican efforts to damage public education. We have a hundred million people who are willing to let others tell them what is right and wrong.

The Republicans have beaten us like a rug, and it may well be too late to turn it back.
