from hating Obama and "owning the libs" to a murder/suicide cult.

what a 3.5 year arc of trump-catalyzed horror.

I despise, hate them all, and this is forever. The issue is that their ignorance and cultishness impacts we who know better, and deserve more...such as the right to live our lives safely.

When and how will this madness end???

they dont care how, if they can kill us this way they will and ARE doing it.

They hate democracy, voting, science, etc.



Wait, no I dont wish I hadnt, but I do wish people had listened. Instead of accusing me of being hyperbolic or hair on fire and sky is falling, etc.

He rejected everything those sciency people were telling him. He thought he’d use it to provoke the libs. Turned around a disastrously bit all of us in the ass.

in the 30’s and 40’s after first citing it as a model.

Which country overthrew their fascist government without the help of armed intervention from the allies?

Here’s one example: Spain managed to lose its fascist regime after about 40 years.

They own most of talk radio. They have their own TV network. They control a large percentage of the church’s across the country.

Like you, I see no path to remaining with murder/suicide cult members. Should you have stayed at Jim Jones' compound in Guyana, or should you have run straight into the jungle?

The jungle. The jungle. It's not as scary.

"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering."

We've already experienced all 4 in the last 3.5 years. We're currently past the hate phase and now in the suffering phase. I really do wonder what comes next.

Physical deformity (his hair) and strange ways of talking and hand gestures.

Makes a the Penguin from the TV show understated.

That was what has occurred to me over the last few weeks and then we he said he wanted to pack the Churches for Easter during the pandemic I thought even the Joker couldn't cone up with a more diabolical plot to mass exterminate the Christians.
