As we die from the virus, Trump continues to eliminate our government.

Trump has and is destroying all of are government agencies. By default he has become a dictator in many ways. Trump will probably destroy our election process so he cannot be beaten this November. The American people are doing exactly what the German people did in the 1930s, 1940s. Sitting there watching a madman destroy them.

I know I'M not going out without a fight.

You can stare this abyss in the face, but at some point you've got to help the rest work through this horror.

It's some Americans v Trump and his cultists! We have to recognize that those who continue to support Trump cannot be considered Americans...they are members of a cult...and as such their only loyalty is to their leader!

They don't respect the US Constitution, they want to see an end to our Democratic Republic, and they will follow orders without question!

That is exactly what Trump is doing and he is doing slowly, step by step, just like hitler did. The American people are staring in disbelief, watching a madman destroy them. We better stop staring in disbelief and start taking action before it's too late.

I always understood Trump was going to cheat in the November election. Now I believe he will openly do what ever it takes to win the election. He is going to do some really crazy shit to destroy the election process.

Isn't THIS what he's been dreaming about for decades? A dismantled federal government you can drown in a bathtub? Does losing to a pandemic make it to his "Happy List"? Isn't this what he wanted all along? How is the "Free Market" handling CV-19? Isn't it just another money making opportunity to a die-hard capitalist? The suffering doesn't matter to a capitalist, right Grover? What matters is making money, turning a profit, and living high. Does anyone wonder how Norquist is shifting his investments during the pandemic? Is he investing in urns for the deceased? The funeral industry? The more people die, the more money the investors make. You know that, Grover.

Why isn't Norquist all over the right wing media demanding that he get credit for a dismantled Administrative state? Should he be receiving a Medal of Freedom from Trump at about this time? What the hell, Grover? Come out of the woodwork and receive the accolades you deserve!
