Greed. Greed and the power that comes with it, Greed of money and beliefs. Trump voters do not worship Trump, the man. They worship his greed, they cheer when he abuses his power.
Trump, politicians, business leaders, CEOs. Supreme Court judges, lobbyists, heads of govt. agencies, all hang out at the same parties. It's one big club of greed.
The American people are running out of time to save their way of life. They are running out of time and they better wake the fuck up. Only the Democratic party stands in the way of this madness. If the Democratic party joins the club, it's over.
If the Democrats regain power in November, we may be able to put an end to this Greed with out too much damage.
Greed looks like madness, because it is. Greed works well short term, it destroys itself long term, always.
If Trump wins in November I believe the madness, the greed that has taken over our country, will destroy itself in his second term and all of us will pay a heavy price. Then we will slowly rebuild.

Many magats are happy to get fleeced by rich republicans as long as they're told how superior they are to blacks or women or foreigners or whatever.
