so let me get this straight about Trump in 2020

He has presided over the worst US response to a disease outbreak since 1918 Spanish Flu

Worst unemployment rate EVER--worse than any time in the Great Depression

Worst GDP drop EVER--worse than any time in the Great Depression

He has citizens marching in the streets in greater numbers because of his lack of seriousness about cops killing unarmed black people and his answer is to ship shady unidentified shock troops to escalate violence

this piece of shit has rightfully been impeached, named as an unindicted co conspirator in criminal trial of his long time personal lawyer

ENOUGH

4. good point. but this can be part of a very helpful vicious cycle against Trump this fall

the more powers of GOP and conservative groups bail on him, the more others will grow a spine and lavishly speak out. the worst for him is if this devolves into a MEME and a popular trend to hate on Trump and take it out in him in November

His horrendous response to the pandemic is so bad it's shaking loose some of his support. And now that Republicans in Congress see him as a liability they are looking for ways to distance themselves from him.

Which then hurts his electoral chances, which in turn costs him more support, etc.

Let's hope it continues to spiral him down the toilet.

by this dramatic fall from a beacon of light and liberty from am advanced industrial nation used to leading the world and encouraging democracy and open societies

this guy has repeatedly attacked our free press and tried to dehumanize them

he has repeatedly attacked Americans who legally protest their government--acts enshrined in the 1st Amendment to our Constitution.


he has repeatedly called for investigation and imprisonment of his political opponents with zero evidence of crimes committed.

He is aiding and abetting Putin's desire to weaken democratic societies.
